XLS-DataLoader for SAP
XLS-DataLoader for SAP is a powerful, easy to use and flexible tool for uploading data to SAP systems. The XLS-DataLoader rapidly loads data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into any SAP system. Designed with end-users in mind, the XLS-DataLoader is easy to use. A simple three step process allows XLS-DataLoader users to load data from MS-Excel spreadsheets into SAP systems:
1. Record the program by stepping through your SAP transaction.
2. Add your data to the attached MS-Excel spreadsheet
3. Run the DataLoader program to immediately upload your data safely and securely to the SAP system
XLS-DataLoader for SAP uses the Standard SAPGUI-Interface and never updates data directly to SAP tables. Concept to execution time is less than 30 minutes for most cases. No ABAP coding is done in SAP. Since no ABAP coding is done, no transport is required. You can run tests in your prototype or quality environment and next minute you can run the same program in production environment.
