Data Request Document Placeholders
When creating a template for a Data Request document you can insert placeholders for the date, the filters to identify the data in the database and the required data.
<CURRENT_DATE>
Will be replaced by the date the user created the Data Request.
<FILTERS>
Will be replaced by a list of names (and descriptions) which you have entered in the Filter dialog box.
The entry in the Data Request document:
"To extract exactly the data required, please set filters for the following fields:
<FILTERS>"
could be replaced by something like:
"To extract exactly the data required, please set filters for the following fields:
BUKRS (Company Code)
BUDAT (Posting Date in the Document)
KTOPL (Chart of Accounts)
SPRAS (Language Key)"
<REQUIRED_DATA>
Will be replaced by table and field names and their descriptions you have entered in the Table Attributes dialog box.
Note:
If you want to display the table name in bold or in color, also the placeholder has to have the corresponding formatting.
The entry in the Data Request document:
"Required tables and fields
<REQUIRED_DATA>"
could be replaced by something like:
"Required tables and fields
BKPF (Accounting Document Header)
| Placeholder | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| BUKRS | (Company Code) | |
| BELNR | (Accounting Document Number) | |
| BLART | (Document Type) | |
| BUDAT | (Posting Date in the Document)" |
where BKPF (Accounting Document Header) is the table name and the table description and the other entries are the field names and field descriptions.
