• SAP Tcode: FTWP - Settings for data extraction

  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code FTWP is used to set up data extraction for the Financial Accounting (FI) module. It allows users to define the data that should be extracted from the FI module and how it should be formatted. This data can then be used for reporting and analysis purposes. 
  
  Functionality: 
  FTWP enables users to define the data that should be extracted from the FI module, as well as the format in which it should be presented. This includes defining the fields that should be included in the extraction, as well as any filters or sorting criteria that should be applied. The extracted data can then be used for reporting and analysis purposes. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Access the FTWP transaction code by entering “FTWP” into the command field in SAP. 
  2. Select “Create” to create a new extraction definition. 
  3. Enter a name for the extraction definition and select “Continue”. 
  4. Select the fields that should be included in the extraction and any filters or sorting criteria that should be applied. 
  5. Select “Save” to save the extraction definition. 
  6. Select “Execute” to run the extraction and generate the output file. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that users test their extraction definitions before running them in production, to ensure that they are extracting the desired data in the desired format. Additionally, users should ensure that they have appropriate access rights to run FTWP transactions, as this will affect their ability to create and execute extractions.
