Working with XLSM Format

DOC_EXTENSION

* This constant is no longer relevant for Allevo version 3.0 and later, as the Master template format is automatically determined and transferred to Excel.

For previous versions the activation of the constant DOC_EXTENSION is made via X in column Value from. The constant ensures that XML-based files (*.XLSM) generated in Excel 2007 are also available for usage when opening and saving planning file(s).

Note:

OpenXML Microsoft® Office format is officially supported only in SAP GUI 7.10 patch level 16 and later. Due to multiple bug fixes in this area, it is nevertheless recommended that the Allevo document extension is applied starting from SAP GUI 7.20 only. The version of the front-end must therefore be installed on all client computers working with Allevo.
