• Key Concepts: 
  The import buffer is a feature of the SAP FS-PM Policy Management component. It is a temporary storage area for data that is imported into the system. The import buffer stores the data until it is processed and then moved to the appropriate tables in the database. This allows for a smoother and more efficient import process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The import buffer can be accessed through the SAP GUI. To use it, select the “Import Buffer” option from the menu. This will open a window where you can select the file you want to import. Once you have selected the file, click “Import” to start the process. The data will then be stored in the import buffer until it is processed and moved to its appropriate tables in the database. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When importing data into the system, it is important to ensure that all of the data is valid and correct before it is imported into the system. This can be done by running a validation check on the data before it is imported into the system. This will help ensure that any errors or inconsistencies are caught before they are imported into the system.
