BC Sets group table values for a Customizing area. For example, a BC Set could contain the Customizing settings for particular business processes. The table values can be in any order. You can put the values for a complete table, or individual fields of one or more tables, in a BC Set. You can also combine several BC Sets into one higher-level BC Set.

Features

There are two kinds of BC Sets:

·        BC Sets (previously sometimes referred to as "simple BC Sets")

·        Hierarchical BC Sets

A BC Set is identified by the following attributes:

·        Name

·        Type (simple or hierarchical)

·        Release

·        Software component

·        Last changed by (person), on (date) and at (time)

BC Sets

A BC Set can contain data from one or more IMG activities. Each IMG activity is listed separately with its customizing objects (tables or views). The data is selected by table columns and rows, each column is a field, each row a record.

There is no BC Set size restriction.

Recommendation

Keep your BC Sets as small as possible to preserve comprehensibility and reuseability. You can model complex data in hierarchical BC Sets.

Hierarchical BC Sets

A hierarchical BC Set comprises several other BC Sets, which can also be hierarchical. The hierarchy can have any number of levels. It structures complex system setting data. You can delete or add lower-level BC Sets at any time.
