Retrieve Validation Data
GLSU will allow you to retrieve the SAP master data you have chosen to validate against either as an off-line process, or real-time (live) basis. To download the SAP master data into your PC .INI file…
Note: The system will automatically refresh your master data each time you log in to SAP. If you make changes in SAP during your session it is best to click on "LOGOUT" and let GLSU refresh the master data again on the next login.
From the GLSU menu,
- Choose the Retrieve Validation Data menu item.
Retrieve Validation Data
You will only be able to retrieve validation data via this method for data sets which are 5 megabytes or less. For larger off-line data sets, you should login to SAP, execute transaction ZGLSU, and select Send Validation Now or configure more live validations to reduce the PC footprint.
The appropriate SAP master data values and texts, along with SAP fields and structures, will be downloaded to your PC. For most GLSU implementations you will only need to perform this function when you have added a new document type or legal entity (company code).
GLSU will allow you to insert SAP master data texts into your spreadsheets for presentation or documentation purposes. You will put the GLSU descriptions into a blank column of your spreadsheet (see the Ignore Columns section). Master data texts can be added in either the detail or header sections.
