Additional information fieldsYou can define additional information fields that can be linked to LN tables. The contents of these additional fields can be transferred between LN tables, which allows users to enter additional information at sales schedules.The additional information is passed via the warehouse order to a shipment in warehousing. Additional information fields are meaningless to LN as no functional logic is linked to the contents of these fields. To define additional information fields To use additional information fields, you must first define the desired additional fields using the Additional Information Definition (tcstl2100m000) session. You can link a maximum of 26 alphanumeric string fields, with a length of 30 characters per field, to a table. After specifying the Additional Information Definitions, additional information fields are ready for use. In the user interface the additional information fields are added to the standard LN fields. When you, for example, link additional information fields to the Warehousing Orders (whinh200) table, the additional information fields are visible and can be edited in the corresponding Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. Additional information can only be created or updated by the sessions of the parent objects. The additional information fields are displayed in a separate tab of the session. You can link additional information fields to a table as per the business needs. The linked fields become effective after the fields are set to active in the Additional Information Definition (tcstl2100m000) session. Additional information fields can also be deactivated at any time. Note A limited set of LN tables is prepared for linking additional information fields. For more information, refer to Related topics. Example LN can transfer additional information fields between tables, for example, from a sales schedule to a warehouse order. Transfer will only take place when additional fields have the same field name in the Additional Information Definition (tcstl2100m000) session. For example, an additional field with the field name Point of Usage is linked to the sales schedule table, and you want to transfer the value of the Point of Usage field from a sales schedule to the warehouse order, then the same field name called, Point of Usage, must be used in the additional information definition of the warehouse order. Note The transfer of additional fields is application logic which is hard coded in LN. LN offers a limited set of transfer points. For more information, refer to Related topics.
