We can find for which all objects in IBIP, we can transfer data by searching in se11 for structures starting with IBIP*.

Step III Here we have chosen IBIPEQUI structure to create a flat file which will be similar to that structure. Flat file should be created in ms-excel first , then it has to be exported to text file.

1.Next step is to create the flat file . 2.Go to SE11 and enter IBIPEQUI in the table field. Look at the table. Your text file should be in the same format as this table. It should be a tab delimited text file with the same number of characters for each tab as given in the table. Also for class, the table name is IBIPCLAS.
