GLSU Ribbon Menu Features

Once activated, GLSU has its own tab in Excel with specific features in a Ribbon menu format.

1. Processing

POST / PARK

This feature will first Validate the sheet(s) [depending on settings], and then Post or Park the document(s) in SAP.

EXPORT

This feature will Validate the GLSU sheet(s) [depending on settings], and Export the data to a single .ZGL file (for processing manually using SAP transaction ZGLSU). Also see section Export a Document (2-Step Posting Process).

VALIDATE

Validates the GLSU sheet(s) and displays a list of errors that need to be repaired before an Export or a Post/Park can be done. See more on Validating here.

REVIEW VALIDATION

This window brings back the list of validation errors showing the issues and the location of each.

2. Tools

OPTIONS

Allows for SAP system connection setup, sheet selection for processing, and a list of general options and settings.

CHOOSE FIELDS

Allows the user to select which SAP fields are on the current GLSU sheet. Used to add/remove the fields from the sheet.

REFRESH DESCRIPTIONS

Refreshes descriptions by connecting to SAP and updating all cells that contain the "=glsu_description(xx)" formula (where xx equals the cell where master data element is entered)

IMPORT

Allows for importing of delimited data directly into a GLSU sheet. Mapping of incoming file fields to GLSU fields is supported. Also see section Importing Data.

3. Utilities

LOGOUT

Disconnects the GLSU connection to SAP.

INITIALIZE

Creates a new GLSU sheet. This will bring up the CHOOSE FIELDS dialog so that the GLSU fields can be selected or the defaults taken.

RESET LINKS

Reads the GLSU sheet to find and fix any broken GLSU formula links such as "=glsu_description()" and "=glsu_balance()". If the location of the add-in changes, Reset Links will point formulas to the correct location of the add-in.

SHOW MY CONTACTS

Displays the contact information all of your GLSU Premium Users. Premium users often can solve accounting questions.

RETRIEVE VALIDATION DATA

Connects to SAP to update validation preferences, and if Validation Options are set to .INI, will then retrieve the data to the .INI file.

SHOW VALIDATION INFO

Show a list of validation fields and whether the data set is LOCAL or LIVE.

EXPORT DEFAULT LANGUAGE

Exports the internal default English language strings to a file. A translator may then edit this file to localize the language.
