  • Key Concepts: 
    A batch input session is a feature of the SAP system that allows users to transfer large amounts of data from external sources into the SAP system. It is part of the CA-GTF General Application Functions component. The data is stored in a batch input session and then processed in the background. This allows users to quickly and easily transfer large amounts of data into the SAP system without having to manually enter each record.
    
    How to use it: 
    To use a batch input session, users must first create a batch input session in the SAP system. This can be done by selecting the “Create Batch Input Session” option from the menu. Once the session has been created, users can then upload their data into the session. The data can be uploaded in various formats, such as CSV or Excel files. Once the data has been uploaded, users can then process the session in the background. This will transfer all of the data from the external source into the SAP system.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a batch input session, it is important to ensure that all of the data is formatted correctly before uploading it into the session. This will help to ensure that all of the data is transferred correctly into the SAP system.
