STEP 1
Use transaction code: SM35
SM35 - Batch Input: Initial Screen
Batch input is a SAP interface that allows you to transfer large amounts of data to an SAP system. You can use batch input to transfer legacy data and perform periodic imports of external data.
A batch input session is a sequence of transactions supplied with user data by a program. SAP stores these transactions on a stack until you decide to process them online. No database updates are performed until the session has been processed. Using this technique, you can transfer large amounts of data to SAP in a short time.
STEP 2
Look for the batch input session to be processed
