Procedure
Once you have entered values for the variables, you can enter your data.
Before branching to the entry screen, the system reads existing data in the database for the relevant characteristics and summarizes this data in accordance with the specified characteristics.
When new or changed data is posted, non-specified characteristics remain blank. Exceptions to this rule are the origin object type, which always has the value 01 (origin Profit Center Accounting).
At the same time, the system locks the objects that appear so that no one else can process them while you are doing so.
On the entry screen, proceed as follows:
(The functions are listed here for purposes of entering plan data, though they can also be used when entering actual data).
Ledger, record type, version, fiscal year, controlling area, profit center, account, statistical key figure, company code, partner profit center, plant, representative material.
It is not possible to create separate long texts for data records that do not differ in at least one of these fields. For example, you cannot define two long texts for records that have different functional areas but are the same in all other characteristics.
The actual data you enter or change is written to the database; the non-specified characteristics are not affected.
