The procedure for creating development objects in the Object Navigator varies slightly depending on whether an object with the same category already exists in the object list or not. If one exists, a node for that type of object is visible in the tree display. In this case, the corresponding context menu is available.

To create a new development object where the object node already exists in the object list:

1. Select the corresponding object node.
2. Choose Create from the context menu (right click).

A dialog box appears.

3. Enter the name of the new object.

Note that all Repository objects in the customer namespace begin with Y or Z.

4. Choose Continue to confirm.

The system checks whether an object with that name already exists.

5. Enter the information requested on the object and choose Save.

The system then displays the Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box.

6. Assign a package to the object.
7. Choose to confirm your entries.

To create a new development object in the initial screen of the Object Navigator if no corresponding object node exists:

1. Choose Other Object ( ).
2. In the Object Selection dialog box, choose the required tab.
3. Enter the name of the new object.

Note that all Repository objects in the customer namespace begin with Y or Z.

4. Choose .

The system checks whether an object with that name already exists.

5. Enter the information requested on the object and choose Save.

The system then displays the Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box.

6. Assign a package to the object.
7. Choose to confirm your entries.

The object was created in the R/3 Repository in an inactive version. When you assign an object to a development class, it is automatically linked to the transport and correction system.
