Procedure for System Administrators

Since updating the move-in document is structured in several consistent
subunits, consistent data existed when the program was terminated.
Check which subunits were successfully updated by using the
installation to search for or display the move-in document.
The update of the move-in document is divided into the following
consistent subunits (the sequence can vary according to the processing
mode):
Business partner data
Contract account data
Contract data and move-in document
Meter reading data
Customer contact
Security deposits
If the move-in document was not created, one of the following has
caused this:
Only the business partner data was posted.
The business partner data and contract account data were posted.
No data was posted.
