Description
You can use reports RWMBONF0 (Copy External Data) and RWMBONF1 (CreateTest Data) to copy vendor business volume data and incomes from externalsystems to the system.
You can also use the Subsequent Settlement programs if you do not, ornot yet, manage your purchase orders, goods receipts or invoice receiptsin the system. The reports provide an easy way of transferring your olddata.
Once you have created the necessary arrangements, you can transfer thevendor business volume data and incomes to the system. Using a smallamount of price determination data such as vendor, material, materialgroup, the program automatically determines the arrangement andcondition records concerned, and updates the vendor business volumedata.
Report RWMBONF0 is used to transfer, in other words check and update, adata file with external vendor business volume data.
You can use report RWMBONF1 to create any test data that is needed. Youcan use subprogram SIMULATION to see how the external data records areto be created.

Description of selection parameters
Note that F1 help exists for each parameter.

• Read external vendor business volume data from

Select whether you want to read the test data from the applicationserver or your front end (e.g. PC). Enter the relevant path and filename. When entering the path, remember that, depending on your systemconfiguration, you can work on a different application server each timeyou log on. Make sure you enter a complete path, as otherwise you maywrite the data to the system installation directory.

• Update

Check run, no update
If you select this indicator, no changes are made to the LIS structuresin the database. It enables you to check which errors occurred duringprocessing. Before you update external data, you must carry out a checkrun and correct any errors that occurred.
Save under version
Enter the version under which the external data is to be updated in theLIS structures.
The actual data is contained in version '000' (check run before update).For test purposes, you can update the data in one of the versions thatstarts with '&'. The third character is freely definable. Other versionsare not permitted.
You can use report RMCVISCP or the LIS copy management tool to copy datafrom one version to another or delete data.
Reverse update
If you set this indicator, the update of external data is reversed. If,when data is updated in version '000' (actual data), an error relevantto the update occurs, you must reverse the update. Otherwise you have topost the data record again (own external data file).

• Restricting the arrangements

As in all subsequent settlement reports, you can restrict the number ofrebate arrangements to be processed.

• Control of program run

Each program run is given a name. If the run is terminated early becausetime is exceeded, the system records which arrangements were processedand which were not, and saves the information under the program runname. You can restart the program at any time (do not set the New Runindicator. Use variants if necessary. See below).
If you entered other selection criteria as well as the arrangementnumbers, you must enter these in a variant, as the system only storesthe numbers of the arrangements that have not yet been processed.
Enter a termination date and termination time. If these limits areexceeded, the report is terminated. You can continue processing thearrangements at a later time, using the name of the run as a reference.
You can define that all arrangements are blocked (data consistency). Ofcourse, this may not be desirable during online processing. All thearrangements in the system (including Sales arrangments) are blocked.

Precondition
Maintain the arrangements in the system.
Make sure you carry out a check run. Look at the messages issued, andcorrect any errors that occurred. Analyze the update date.

Output
A log of all processed arrangements and any related messages is issued.
The report is interactive. To view the long text for a message, forexample, you need only click on the message. You can click on theexternal data file number to display the triggering external data file.
From the log, you can display the update data created for eacharrangement or condition record.
You can request a list of external data records (individual record,complete list).
In addition, you can create and display an update log (LIS) for eacharrangement. You can use this to check which information structures wereupdated. In particular, you can track updates at field level.
