Object documentationDifferentiation Criterion

 

A business partner characteristic that you can set to determine the criteria (such as a branch of a bank, for example) according to which certain business partner attributes can be differentiated, or distinguished.

 

This object is used to differentiate the following business partner data:

You can determine the value for the differentiation criterion in three different ways:

  • You assign a specific value to the differentiation criterion.

  • You use an algorithm that dynamically determines the value of the differentiation criterion. The differentiation criterion could be numbered sequentially, for example. You differentiate the values. The system automatically numbers the first entry of differentiated values with the differentiation criterion 001, the second entry with the differentiation criterion 002, and so on.

  • You define the value for the differentiation criteria in Customizing for SAP Business Partner for Financial Services under Start of the navigation path Settings for Financial Services Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Basic Settings Next navigation step Differentiation Next navigation step Define Differentiation Criterion End of the navigation path.

    You can only use one particular method within each client.
