 Main Object Table and Master Table for Application Objects Locate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

The main object table and, in some cases, the master table specify where the data used to evaluate whether an object is relevant to supply chain event management is located. The main object table represents the application object. The master table represents additional information about the application object.

Use

You need the information from the main object table and the master table to define the condition for determining the application object type in the application system.

You can define tracking IDs in the extractor from the main object table and the master table.

To define the main object table and the master table, you execute the following:

  • You define which application tables are available for a business process type in the application system (transaction /SAPTRX/ASC0TO).

  • In the application system you assign a main object table and, if required, a master table from these available application tables to the relevant application object type (transaction /SAPTRX/ASC0AO). The system displays all the application tables that you have assigned to the relevant business process type in the input help.

The following table provides example uses of main object tables and master tables:
