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.
