Segment Type E1CUPRT
Use
In this segment type, the relationships between the individual configurable materials are defined. These relationships define how the instances are linked together in the hierarchy.
As well as the data on the hierarchical relationships, this segment also determines which master data object in the decomposition (BOM) an instance comes from. It is important to describe this uniquely, because this determines which BOM item fields are included from which BOM item. For example, you can define that an item is relevant to sales and appears in the sales order as a sub-item of the main item.
Features
This segment contains the following fields:
PARENT_ID
Identifier of the superior object (in the hierarchy) of the object entered under INST_ID.
INST_ID
Identifier of the object that is subordinate to the instance entered under PARENT_ID.
PART_OF_NO
To ensure that the value data is linked to the correct master data object, the BOM item number is also transferred.
If several items in the BOM have the same item number, and also have the same component data (for example, material number, or class type and class), the first item in the BOM is always assumed.
To ensure that the data is entered in the correct BOM item, the system searches for the item using first the item number, then the object type, then the object key or class type. If no BOM item is found for these criteria, the system searches again using just the object type, then the object key or class type.
OBJ_TYPE
Object type of the master data object from which the instance under INST_ID originates (for example, MARA for material or KLAH for class).
CLASS_TYPE
The class type is part of the external key of a BOM item that is a class item.
Transferred instances cannot be classes. Only object types can be transferred.
OBJ_KEY
Object key, such as material number or class name.
The object key must be transferred in upper-case letters, because the data is not automatically converted to upper-case letters.
Other field names: fields AUTHOR, SALES_RELEVANT, and PART_OF_GUID are filled automatically. They are used internally for communication between R/3 and other mySAP.com components.
