  Master Data Matchup

Use

The following functions are available in master data matchup:

  • Match up value assignment types and characteristics

    This function determines all characteristics with data type CHAR30 to which phrases can therefore be assigned. These characteristics are transferred to characteristic-phrase set assignment where you can assign phrase sets (see Phrase Set-to-Attribute Assignment ). At the same time, the system deletes the characteristics in the characteristic-phrase set assignment that no longer exist in the SAP system.

    Use this function if you have created new characteristics for a class of class type 100 (value assignments) in the SAP component Classification System .

  • Activate phrase assignment to characteristics

    This function assigns a special dialog box as possible entries function to all characteristics to which a phrase set was assigned in phrase set-characteristic assignment. You use this dialog box to assign phrases of the assigned phrase set to the characteristic.

  • Activate phrase assignment to fields

    This function activates all fields that are available for technically assigning phrase sets. That means the function writes the relevant fields to the table TCG66. The relevant fields are currently part of the SAP components Dangerous Goods Management and Waste Management , among others.

  • Generate symbols

    You define the layout of report templates using symbols . Master data matchup enables you to generate symbols for characteristics, table fields, and structure fields. For example, if you have created new characteristics for a value assignment type, you can use this function to generate symbols for these characteristics.

    Note Note

    When generating symbols, the system takes all entries into account that have been entered in the IMG activities Specify Value Assignment Types and Specify Tables for Report Symbol Generation in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools .

    For information on important table and structure fields, see Output Data in SD .

    End of the note.

  • Regenerate symbol descriptions

    When you choose the Generate symbols function, the SAP system generates the symbol descriptions in the logon language. To generate the description subsequently in a different language, you can use the Regenerate symbol descriptions function.

  • Match up symbols and phrase-related characteristics

    This function updates the symbol definitions for characteristic symbols that have been changed from non-phrase-related to phrase-related (or vice versa).

    For phrase characteristics, the system sets the report symbol group to 00 in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools . You can check the Customizing entries in the detail screen of the IMG activity Check and Specify Report Symbols.
