Use of Additional Functions when Reading Satellite Data

SATxx_PROC_BEF_RD

* from Allevo version 3.4

Constant SATxx_PROC_BEF_RD defines a function that shall be included prior to the transfer of satellite data to Excel: xx is to be replaced by the number of the respective satellite when setting up the constant. This is usually a function that determines data from SAP itself and subsequently transfers them to Excel via satellite.  

See constant SATxx_PROC_AFT_WR for background information.

The constant is activated making the following specifications:

· Column Value from describes the function that shall be executed; these are currently the two following reading functions.  

MDEC to work with Easy Cost Planning for projects and

MRPR to read project / WBS master records.

· An entry in Value to designates the corresponding scheme containing the field assignments.

When calling the reading function, also the object number selected by the user upon start of an Allevo transaction will be transferred. This is in both cases a project or WBS number that data shall be read for.

Note:

In the two cases of Easy Cost Planning and project master data, the reading function also enables direct modification of SAP data via Excel. See also constant SATxx_PROC_AFT_WR for equivalent functions during saving of satellite data.
