The “Not Requiring Documentation” Flag (SAP Library - BC Documentation of System Objects)

The "Not Requiring Documentation" Flag

Some objects do not require any documentation. There can be several different reasons for this:

An object is temporarily not to be documented.

An object is described adequately by its short text.

A data element does not appear on any screen.

You can label such objects as "not requiring documentation". This indicator has the effect of locking objects so no documentation can be written for them. It also means that they are no longer considered as "undocumented" objects by the documentation management system (in work lists, for example).

This indicator can be removed again, if required.

Setting the Indicator

To indicate that an object does not require documentation, proceed as follows:

Generate a list of undocumented objects (in the form of either a generic list or a work list) containing the object you wish to mark as not requiring documentation.
Position the cursor on the object you wish to assign the indicator to.
Select one of the following three functions:

currently without documentation

self-explanatory

without screen reference

Removing the Indicator

Generate a list of objects not requiring documentation (either in the form of a generic list or as a work list) that contains the object with the indicator.

Position the cursor on the object whose indicator you wish to remove.

Select the function Reactivate object.
