Description
The reports RWMBONF0 (Transfer External Data) and RWMBONF1 (Create TestData) are suitable tools for transferring data on the volume of businessdone with vendors and rebate income from external systems to the system.
They enable you to use the programs for "subsequent settlement"(end-of-period volume rebate settlement) even if you do not (yet)process your purchase orders, goods receipts, or incoming invoices usingthe system. In particular, they allow you to transfer your old (orexisting) data from system to system simply and easily.
Once you have set up the required volume rebate arrangements, you canimport the vendor business data and rebate income into the system. Onthe basis of certain price determination data such as vendor, material,material group, etc., the system automatically determines the relevantrebate arrangement and condition records and updates the vendor businessvolume data.
Report RWMBONF1 allows you to create a data file with external vendorbusiness data for test purposes and is intended to demonstrate the basicstructure of the data records.
Report RWMBONF0 enables you to test the transfer of the created datafile.
Also refer to the documentation "Transferring data from other systems".
