Working Context Behavior in Trade Promotion Management 
Whether or not a working context attribute displays in a SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) application depends on the application. Generally speaking, when you perform an advanced search, the search page receives the default attributes defined in the working context. When creating a new object, attribute values are defaulted whenever possible. For example, if the working context has more than one account attribute set, such as Account Hierarchy Node and Target Group, the Target Group attribute is only defaulted in the object after you manually select Hierarchy Node as the account type.
Attribute and Application Matrix
The matrix below summarizes whether or not attributes specified in the working context default into trade promotion management (TPM) applications. For example, if a product category is defined in the working context, the specified product category value appears by default when you create a trade promotion.
