Additional information definition levels

Additional information definition levels

The additional information fields can be defined for these additional information definition levels:

• General
• Sold-to Business Partner
• Buy-from Business Partner

General

The additional fields linked to the specified database table are displayed in the corresponding overview and details sessions. The additional information fields are grouped in separate tabs. In the details sessions, you can edit the values of these fields.

Business partner

The additional information fields linked to the specified database table and the selected business partner are displayed and can be edited in the details session corresponding to the specified database table if:

• Sold-to Business Partner

  A sales order or sales schedule initiates the process of creating a record in the specified database table.
• The selected business partner is the sold-to business partner of the sales order or sales schedule.

• Buy-from Business Partner

  A purchase document initiates the process of creating a record in the specified database table.
• The selected business partner is the buy-from business partner of the purchase document.

For example, an additional information field defined for the whinh200 table and business partner A is displayed in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session for a warehousing order if:

• The originating order of the warehousing order is a sales order or a sales schedule.
• Business partner A is the sold-to business partner of the sales order or sales schedule.

General and Sold-to Business Partner/ Buy-from Business Partner related fields combined

When retrieving additional information fields for a database table corresponding to a particular session, the application selects the Sold-to Business Partner or Buy-from Business Partner definition level. If not available, the General definition level is selected.

Consequently, if the additional information fields of both the General definition level and the Sold-to Business Partner or Buy-from Business Partner definition level are required for a particular business partner, the fields defined in the General definition level must also be defined for the Sold-to Business Partner or Buy-from Business Partner definition level, respectively.
