MDMP Unicode Conversion: maintenance system vocabulary in.Excel possible?

Former Member

We are currently converting from R/3 4.7 MDMP to ECC 6.0 EHP5 Unicode using CU&UC. We have native speakers to do the manual maintenance of the system vocabulary (assignment of words without language key to a language). However these native speakers are SAP "illiterates" and have no access to SAP. We would like to extract the system vocabulary to Excel, give it to the native speakers, they maíntain in Excel, and then we upload the Excel into SAP. Extracting the vocabulary is easy, since there is an ALV grid. Is there a way to upload the Excel to SAP? Thank you very much.

Hi,

the down- and upload scenario via spreadsheet is not forseen in SPUMG.

I know customers who maintain the vocabulary with automatic and semi-automatic procedures and then verify the assigned languages via spreadsheet download sent to native speakers. In this scenario, there should be only a few words, which are assigned wrongly and these can be corrected manually.

However even in this scenario customers have to take care that the code page used by e.g. excel fits to the assigned language. E.g. you need to do this on a local Windows (default code page local).

But maintaining the language in the spreadsheet and then uploading the result to spumg is not possible.

Best regards,
