Payment lot transfer(read excel file/txt file)

Hi Friends,

Can I use fpb3 tcode to create a payment lot with some external file?

What should be the format of the file? Can I upload a txt or exel file directly from here to create payment lot?

Please kindly get back to me. Due to some system problem today, I need to create payment lots from excel file manually...

Is there any procedure to read the excel data easily. As the problem is only for today, we can afford to create  acustom program to read data.:-)

In FP05, i tried copying the data from excel file, however it is just copying first 19 entries or so.

Thanks in advance.

Lakshmi.
