• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME_DE012 - Cannot load workbook because it is compressed ?

  The SAP error message RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME_DE012 indicates that the system is unable to load an Excel workbook because it is compressed. This typically occurs when the Excel file is in a format that SAP does not support for direct import or processing.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  File Format: The Excel file may be in a compressed format (like .zip) or in a newer Excel format that SAP does not recognize.
  File Extension: The file might have an incorrect extension or be saved in a format that is not compatible with the SAP system.
  Corrupted File: The Excel file could be corrupted or improperly formatted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check File Format:
  
  Ensure that the Excel file is saved in a compatible format. SAP typically supports .xls (Excel 97-2003) and .xlsx (Excel 2007 and later) formats. If the file is in a compressed format, unzip it first.
  
  
  
  Re-save the File:
  
  Open the Excel file in Microsoft Excel and re-save it in the appropriate format. Use "Save As" and select either .xls or .xlsx as the file type.
  
  
  
  Check for Compression:
  
  If the file is compressed (e.g., in a .zip file), extract it before attempting to load it into SAP.
  
  
  
  File Integrity:
  
  Verify that the file is not corrupted. You can do this by opening it in Excel and checking for any errors or issues.
  
  
  
  Use SAP GUI:
  
  If you are using a web-based interface, try using the SAP GUI instead, as it may handle file uploads differently.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes:
  
  Look for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this issue. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP may have known issues with certain file formats.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidelines on supported file formats and any specific requirements for uploading Excel files.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  System Configuration: Ensure that your SAP system is properly configured to handle Excel file uploads, including any necessary authorizations or settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME_DE012 error and successfully load your Excel workbook into SAP.
