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.
Example
Database table whinh200 corresponds to the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.
In addition to the general additional fields defined for all business partners, business partner A requires extra fields. To accomplish this, the fields defined for the General definition level are also defined in the Sold-to Business Partner definition level for business partner A:
whinh200 Level = General | Requirement Business partner A | whinh200 Level = Business partner A |
