Export data to XML

You can export data to an XML file from any window that supports this functionality.

This functionality is available in some windows when you have selected a record and click and see the menu command Export as XML.
It is for example available in the Generic inquiry (SM208000) window, where you can select an inquiry and see that this menu command becomes available.

  1. Open the window whose data you want to export.
  2. Use the navigation arrows in the top part of the window to select the record you want to export.
  3. Click and select Export as XML.
  4. Follow the necessary steps, which depend on your browser and settings, to download the XML file with the exported data.

If a file is attached to the window whose data you want to export, this file is not exported.
When you import data to the window, you need to attach the file manually.
For example: If you have exported to XML a file data provider that has a file attached to the Data providers (SM206015) window, you need to attach the file to the data provider manually when you import the data of the provider.
