Custom Office Upload

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am looking for document on program /sapsll/custoff_upload. Can any one share the document?

I understand that this program adds new custom office and also change the exiting one.

For example if a custom office ABNNNNNN was uploaded earlier through xml file. But again it is updated with another file which does not have ABNNNNNN, Will it delete this?

Thanks,

Manish

Hi Manish,

i don't think that it will delete the existing entries. SAP never give such a functionality. even if it is deleting, there might be a Pop up or warning message would appear to get the confirmation before proceeding to update in the system. As per my knowledge the uploading functionality is same as SPL, Product Classification and Customs Office upload, where it will upload the data and modify the existing one if any changes occurred in that particular entry.

so, when we upload the above xml files , it is not deleting the previous Classification or SPL data from the data base in GTS . so, the same way this Customs Office upload also functions and there is no change in functionality of the process .

hope you are clear now.

@ SAP GTS Gurus,

please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Hi Srinivas,

I was also thinking like that only. SAP will not delete the existing entries even if it does not exist in xml file because it might cause inconsistency if used in any transaction.

If anyone has different view, pl post.

Thanks & Regards,

Yes Manish,

your understanding is correct.

if you check any of the SAP Process, they are providing the functionality and enhancing it a later point of time with new techniques. but they did not provided to delete the existing one in any of the processes as of now i saw in my experience.
