The order master data contains the "General data" group box. This covers 10 fields that are for information only and have no effect on the functions in the order. You can use these fields to store data important for describing the order.
For example: you can use the fields for order selection purposes. However, the system does not check whether the entry values are valid or consistent.
You can tailor the following fields in order master data maintenance:
Field name | Data element | Data type | Field length | Field descr. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
USER0 | AUFUSER0 | CHAR | 20 | Applicant | |
