Example: Delimiting an Infotype 

You have activated Change Validation for the External Bank Transfers infotype (0011). Choose Delimit and define a unique key for the infotypes, for example, the fields BANKL and BANKN.

The normal change validation process is not affected. However, if the infotype record with the defined key is delimited, the Interface Toolbox only defines the values for these key fields. The delimitation character "<" is entered in all other fields.

Your employee was a member of a club, and between January 1996 and March 1996 the membership fees were paid by external bank transfer. This amount is entered in Ext.Bank Transfer (0011) infotype.

The employee ended the club membership on March 31, 1996. You must now set the validity end date for this external bank transfer to March 31, 1996 using master data maintenance.

Use the Interface Toolbox to carry out the data export for April 1996. The following field objects for the Ext. Bank Transfer (0011) infotype are included in the objects transported to the third-party system.
