Master Data Adjustment 

Use

The R/3 Product Safety component provides the following functions in Master Data Adjustment:

This function determines all characteristics with data type CHAR30 and to which phrases can be allocated. These characteristics are transferred to characteristic - phrase set allocation where you can allocate corresponding phrase sets ( See also: Phrase set - characteristic allocation). At the same time, the system deletes all characteristics that still exist in the allocation but no longer in the R/3 System.

Use this function if you have created new characteristics for a class of class type 100 (substance characteristics) in the R/3 component Classification System.

This function allocates a special dialog box as possible entries function to all characteristics to which a phrase set was allocated in phrase set - characteristic allocation. You use this dialog box to allocate phrases of the assigned phrase set to the characteristic.

You define report templates using symbols ( See also: Symbols).

Master data adjustment enables you to automatically generate symbols for each characteristic, table field and structure field. For example, if you have created new characteristics for a substance characteristic category, you can use this function to generate symbols for these characteristics.

When generating symbols, the system takes all table fields into account that have been defined in the IMG activity Define R/3 tables for symbol generation in Customizing for Product Safety.

You will also find information about important tables and structure fields in Output Data in SD

When you choose the Generate symbols function, the R/3 System generates symbol labels in the logon language. To generate the label subsequently in a different language, you can use the Regenerate symbol labels function.

This function updates the symbol definitions for characteristic symbols that have been changed from non phrase-related to phrase-related (or vice versa).

For phrase characteristics, the system sets the substance report symbol group to 00 in Product Safety Customizing.

(You can check the Customizing entries in the detail screen of the IMG activity Check and define report symbols).

The R/3 System sets the missing deletion indicators.

This indicator is used to physically delete data that has been marked as deleted.
