Edit Condition Index Tables

In this step, you create condition index tables for the condition index and specify which fields are taken into account when they are built. The selected fields are listed in the application menu as criteria for the selection of condition records.

Activities

1. Create separate condition tables for contracts and info records and assign a name between 501 and 999.
2. Choose the fields required from the list of permitted fields.
The field that is used most often for searching should be first in the sequence
Note
When filling the index fields, the system can only adopt the fields that are also used in the relevant condition table.
Examples
You have chosen the fields Purchasing document, Item, and Material from the list of permitted fields.
Example 1
When activating the condition index tables, you have used the index conditions to specify that the system puts an entry in the index table only when all index fields are filled.
In this case, the system never creates an entry in the index table, for contracts, for example, because the material number in the standard system is not included in the relevant condition table, A016.
Example 2
When activating the condition index tables, you have used the index conditions to specify that the system puts an entry in the index table when the first index field is filled.
In this case, the system creates an entry with the purchasing document and the item, the material number is not filled because the material number in the standard system is not included in the relevant condition table, A016.
3. Generate the condition index table.

Note
If you have created your own condition index table, the system activates it automatically. If the condition index table in the SAP System is not to be activated, you should remove the indicator Act in the activity Activate Condition Index Table.

Further Notes

The more condition index tables that you create and activate, the greater the impact on system performance during the condition records update.
