Create New XML Template

Manage Templates does not allow Users to upload a new XML template, as only changes to existing templates are allowed. To upload a new XML template, you can raise a ticket to the SAP Product Support team requesting to upload the new XML template. Please note that this request is only for a new template and not for new versions of existing templates.

When opening the support ticket, please provide the acceptance form that can be downloaded from the link below and the new XML version. The support team will not make the change or review it, support will only upload the new template that needs to be provided by the customer. If the template contains any error and upload is not possible, the error information will be provided back to the customer and the ticket will be closed, it is the customer's responsibility to review the changes and ensure the XML template has no issues when uploading if the customer still needs help to overcome the error a partner needs to be engaged as the support team is not able to provide guidance on custom changes.

Note: Always perform the change first in a test/dev environment, run some tests related to the change to ensure it will not have any negative impact.

Required: The limitation in Manage Templates must be declared else this request will be rejected. Limitation must be valid, if a required entry in Manage Templates is trying to be avoided this is not a limitation.
