Relevancy Indicator (SAP Library - Specification Management)

Relevancy Indicator

Use

The relevancy indicator specifies the identifiers and value assignments that are different in comparison with a previous report.

You can use the generation variant to specify that changes on the report are visually marked, thus making them instantly recognizable. The relevancy indicator also affects the version numbering of a regenerated report (see Report Versioning).

Prerequisites

The relevancy indicator is only of significance if a previous report for the marked identifier or marked value assignment already exists.

To mark changes on the report, you must first have set the Change Mark indicator in the report generation variant header. For more information, see the F1 help for the Change Mark indicator.

Features

The system takes the relevancy indicator into account for both manually and automatically generated reports.

If the relevancy indicator is set for use with an identifier or value assignment, this means that:

The indicator is set in the report header. You can manually deselect the indicator in the report header.
When a report is regenerated, all the affected identifiers and value assignments are marked at the side of the text, as long as this is specified in the generation variant.
The SAP System proposes the creation of a new main version for the report that was regenerated due to a relevant change to specification data.

If an identifier or a value assignment is changed again, the system resets the relevancy indicator for this indicator or value assignment. You must reset the indicator again manually if the change is relevant.
