Division into Index Pools, and Control Tables for the Search
Use
The search indexes for address data, as well as the address data itself, are client-dependent. There can now be other differentiations within a client. These are called "Index pools".
The division reflects the fact that multiple areas of master data are involved, which differ from the business embedding in the SAP System and from the technical implementation.
Two such index pools are currently defined in table TSADRVGRP with a technical key derived from control table TSADRV:
|
KNA1 ADRNR |
Customers, vendors, plants |
|
BUT000 PARTNER |
(Central) SAP business partner |
Other index pools are possible, but are not delivered in the standard system.
The following single objects belong to the index pool KNA1 ADRNR, according to table TSADRVGRPE:
|
KNA1 ADRNR |
Customer master (address type 1) |
|
LFA1 ADRNR |
Vendor master (address type 1) |
|
T001W ADRNR |
Plant master and plants (address type 1) |
|
KNVK ADRNP_2 |
Consumer (natural person, address type 2) |
The grouping of single objects into an index pool resulted from an overlap between these areas.
According to table TSADRVGRPE, only the single object BUT000 PARTNER (= SAP business partner) belongs to the index pool BUT000 PARTNER, but in both specifications for address type 1 and address type 2.
