External

Overview

The External workspace loads CbCR data from outside the platform — either from a file you upload (CSV, TXT, XLS, or XLSX) or from a server-side path or third-party connection that an administrator has configured as an interface.

The External workspace can be found at Country-by-Country-Reporting | Cockpit | Import | External. The workspace is displayed as follows, for example:

The External workspace in the Import folder.
'External' workspace in 'Import' folder

Importing External Data

To import data from an external source:

1

Navigate to Country-by-Country-Reporting | Cockpit | Import | External.

2

In the Applies to period drop-down list, select the target CbCR period.

3

In the Company drop-down list, select the CE.

To execute the import for all CEs at once instead, activate the Run import for all Constituent Entities check box in the table below. If you do not see the check box, your role does not allow bulk imports — ask your system administrator to enable it.

4

In the Interface drop-down list in the table below, choose the interface that matches your file format and source system. If no interfaces appear, you need to set up and configure a new interface first. For instructions, see Interfaces.

5

Depending on the interface type:

  • For a file-upload interface, click Choose File next to File path and select an import file (CSV, TXT, XLS, or XLSX).
  • For a server-side or SAP RFC interface, the configuration sets the file path or connection, so no further input is needed.
6

Click Import. The system parses the data and shows the result and any error or warning messages on screen.

7

Review the result. Then do one of the following:

  • Click Save to commit the data. A progress bar tracks the save, which can take a while for large files.
  • Click Cancel to discard the parsed data.
