A maintenance group consists of a quantity of field groups in the article master with the same name. You can define a maintenance group as cross-application or application-specific.
You can use maintenance groups to specify the fields that can be used and displayed for the assigned field groups in individual applications.
· You can use maintenance groups in processing for core article master data, and in the integrated mass change function, for example, to process displayed fields as required.
· In the article list and the article monitor, you also use maintenance groups, to define output fields, for example.
You can create one or more templates for a maintenance group. You enter default data in a template, for example, for the initial screen for core article master data processing and the retail fashion creation status for core article master data processing.
