Specific configuration object and object set details

This topic outlines a few specific actions that are performed during a Configuration Data Management run for some of the configuration data object sets of the APP-I export definition.

  • Configuration object set Common - Company Dependent Parameters (tc0070)

    An automatically triggered Initialize Parameters command is included. This command is similar to the initialization command performed through the Initialize Parameters (tcmcs0295m000) session.

    For BOD parameters that are initialized during the Configuration Data Management run, the Prevent BOD Publishing check box will be selected in the BOD Parameters (tcbod0100m000) session.

  • Configuration object set Common – Number Groups (tc0045)

    In configuration object Common - First Free Number Groups (tcmcs051), the In Use check box is cleared for new number groups after the import. This is to avoid any blocking issues during manual assignment of these number groups.

    If you import any parameter or configuration data that refer such a number group, the DAL software automatically selects this check box.

    New first free numbers obtain the default value 1 after the import. If another value is required for any number group, you can manually specify the required value in the Number Group (tcmcs0651m000) session in the destination environment.

  • Configuration object set: Common - Companies (tc0060)

    • The following logic applies to both configuration objects in this set:

      • For a standard import from scratch, in which tcemm170 and tccom000 rows do not exist, the rows are created during the import.
      • For tcemm170 rows that are present in the destination environment, the update is skipped during the import.
      • Tccom000 rows that are present in the destination environment are updated unless functional errors occur. If errors occur, the update is skipped, and the errors are listed in a report.

    • Configuration object Common – Implemented Software Components (tccom000)

      If a representative is not yet defined as an employee in the destination company, this field is cleared. In a future release, an Employee References Retrieval configuration object set will be included, which is to restore the fields that were initially cleared.

  • Configuration object set: Common – Item Classifications (tc0120)

    • Configuration object Common - Item Independent Conversion Factors (tcibd003ii)

      In the APP-I export definition, only conversion factors not related to items are included. The item-related conversion factors will be included in a future release.

    • Configuration object Common – Manufacturers (tcmcs060)

      Empty buy-from business partner fields in the destination company are not filled during the import. In a future release, a Business Partner References Retrieval configuration object set will be included.

  • Configuration object set Common – Registration Master Data (tc0160)

    Empty enterprise unit fields in the destination company are not filled during the import for these configuration objects:

    • Common - Registrations by Financial Company (tctax222)
    • Common - Expected Registrations (tctax223)

    In a future release, an Enterprise Unit References Retrieval configuration object set will be included, which will fill the missing rows.
