Concepts

  • Documentation class

Classification of objects for documentation purposes. The documentation for objects with the same object type is stored within an documentation class.

Example Example

The documentation class SCHE contains the documentation on the personnel calculation schemas (for example, documentation on the personnel calculation schema for Spain, documentation on the personnel calculation schema for Germany).

End of the example.

You can store customer documentation belonging to a SAP object in the accompanying documentation class.

Example Example

You can store the documentation for the customer schema Z000 in the documentation class SCHE.

You can store the documentation for the customer form ZF01 in the documentation class FORM.

End of the example.

You can store customer documentation belonging to a customer object in a customer documentation class.

Example Example

You can store customer documentation on a particular subject in the customer documentation class ZZZZ.

End of the example.

  • Object type

An object type contains a number of objects.

Example Example

The personnel calculation schema (SCHE) object type contains the international personnel calculation schema (X000) , the personnel calculation schema for Spain (E000), and also the personnel calculation schema for Germany (D000), amongst others. This object type also contains a number of personnel calculation schemas for other countries.

End of the example.

  • Object

An object clearly identifies an element from an object type.

Example Example

The payroll schema for Germany (D000) is an object with the personnel calculation schema object type (SCHE) .

The Determination of valuation bases personnel calculation rule (X010) is an object with the personnel calculation rule object type (CYCL).

End of the example.
