Displaying Key Information for Business Objects 

Use

The Key of a BAPI is a field or a set of fields which together identify a unique record in the R/3 table. For example, the key fields for the GeneralLedgerAccount business object are the COMPANYCODE and the GLACCT, which is the G/L account number.

This procedure describes how to get a list of the key field(s) of a business object.

Procedure

  1. Find and select the business object name in the BAPI/RFC tree pane. To do so, switch to one of the BAPI views and look for the business object in the hierarchy under its application hierarchy, or use the Search tab, if you know at least the first part of the business object name.
  2. The General tab of the BAPI/RFC tree pane displays general details of the business object, such as its internal name. Choose the Key tab to list all the key fields for the selected business object.
  3. Double-click on the name of a key field to invoke the Properties pane, in which you can view all the details of the key field.

Once the Properties pane opens, you only need to click on a key name to view its details in the Properties pane.
