Technical display of the structure of a key (ID) in a component or system.
ID types describe the structure of an ID, and in which customizing objects it is used.
The ID mappings are based on the ID types.
An ID type contains the following information:
the structure of the ID
field length(s)
the customizing object in the system in which the ID is used
use of the ID in other customizing objects
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) Interface Repository (IFR) namespace
Note
An ID type is not an IFR object. The IFR namespace is only for documentation purposes and for the authorization check. You can set-up the authorization so that a user can only edit ID types from a specified namespace.
You specify the use of the ID in other customizing objects, so that when you create a type group, a check can be made whether the
Customizing Distribution
is already set-up for this object. For further information, see the
Restrictions
in
Customizing ID Mapping Framework
.
ID types are lockable logical transport objects, of type SCI1 in the transaction SOBJ.
Different ID types which are equivalent, and can be in various components, are put in the same global ID type .
The customizing ID type
R3MaritalStatusID
contains information about marital statuses in an SAP ERP system. The ID type was based on the field
FAMST
in the customizing object
V_T502T
. The definition of
R3MaritalStatusID
contains an overview of all customizing objects in which this ID is also used.
