### Copy and paste data from spreadsheet applications


You can add multiple error codes by copying and pasting them from a [spreadsheet application](https://ui5.sap.com/#/topic/f6a8fd2812d9442a9bba2f6fb296c42e).

  1. Start the **Custom Business Configurations** app.

      ![Start Custom Business Configurations app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/mc.png)

  2. Select your business configuration.

      ![Select business configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/m2.png)

  3. Click **Edit**.

  4. Click on the **spreadsheet icon** and select **Export as**.

      ![Export as](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/spread2.png)

  5. Export current table content to spreadsheet:
     - File Name: **`ErrorCode###s`**
     - Format: **`Spreadsheet`**
     - Split cells with multiple values: **`true`**

  6. Open the downloaded file and **Enable Editing**.

  7. Add two new lines with the following data:
    - Error Code: **`403`**, Description: **`Forbidden`**
    - Error Code: **`404`**, Description: **`Not Found`**

  8. Select and copy both lines

  9. In the **Custom Business Configurations** app, click **Paste**.

      ![Paste new rows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/spread6.png)

10. When prompted, click **Allow**.

      ![Save new rows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/spread8.png)


### Create business configuration documentation

You want to provide the user of the app **Custom Business Configurations** with detailed [documentation](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/custom-business-configurations-app#show-documentation) of the business configuration.

  1. Open your ABAP package in ADT, right-click your Business Configuration Maintenance Object, and choose **New Knowledge Transfer Document**.

      ![Select New Knowledge Transfer Document](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/knowledge.png)

  2. Create a new knowledge transfer document called **`ZERRORCODE###`**

  3. Complete the wizard.

  4. Write the documentation in the markdown language.

      ![Write documentation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/knowledge4.png)

  5. Activate the Knowledge Transfer Document.

  6. Reload the **Custom Business Configurations** app. A new action is now displayed in the upper right corner.

      ![New action visible](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/doc.png)

  7. Click **Show Documentation**.

      ![Show Documentation action](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-additional-functionality/knowledge6.png)



### Make use of intent navigation


You want to navigate from your SAP Fiori app to the maintenance view of a business configuration maintenance object.

For this [intent navigation](https://help.sap.com/docs/BTP/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/76384d8e68e646d6ae5ce8977412cbb4.html#intent-navigation), you can use the parameter `TechnicalIdentifier` for the semantic object `BusinessConfiguration` with the action `maintain`.

You can test this in the browser:

 - `/ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain` navigates to the List Report of the **Custom Business Configurations** app
 - `/ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain?TechnicalIdentifier=ZERRORCODE###` directly navigates to the maintenance view of the Business Configuration Maintenance Object `ZERRORCODE###`
 - `/ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain?TechnicalIdentifier=ZERRORCODE###&ErrorCode=401` directly navigates to the object page of entity `401` of BC Object `ZERRORCODE###`


### Test yourself
