As the business location master object can represent different types of physical object (for example, depot or service station) and different types of business can be carried out at each business location (for example, at a service station, convenience store retailing and fuel retailing may be carried out), the type of information required in the master record can vary greatly.

The Screen Configuration Tool (SCT) allows you to control the data accessible for each location master record. For each location type and location type/ business type combination, you can:

• Specify the required screens
• Configure the layout and content of screens
• Define the sequence in which screens appear in the transactions for creating, maintaining and displaying business location master data

Default settings are delivered for a quicker implementation process. The SCT allows the user to streamline the business location master transactions according to user needs.

Specifically, you can:

• Enable up to three customer-specific general data sections at the business location type level
• Enable up to three customer-specific general data sections at the business type level
• Define your own fields
• Assign fields to data sections
• Assign data sections to screens
• Define the sequence in which screens appear in the master data transactions
• Define whether data sections and fields relate to a specific business type
• Define whether fields are mandatory, optional, display only, or whether a field can be edited only once
