You establish the structure relationships between the project and the SAP system.

Prerequisites

The source structures must have been defined.

Procedure

From the selection list of steps, choose Maintain Structure Relations. A screen appears where the structures used in the SAP system are displayed. The system shows you which target structures must be filled.

If you want to know which fields are each associated with an SAP structure:

  1. Click on the description of the SAP structure (do not click on the ID!). The system branches to the Dictionary. The fields are displayed.

  2. Choose Back. The Structure Relationships screen appears again.

Maintain structure relationships:

  1. Choose Change.

  2. Position the cursor on the ID of an SAP structure.

  3. Choose Relationship. A dialog box appears where the source structures created are displayed.

  4. Position the cursor on the appropriate source structure and choose Continue. The system displays the structure relationships between both systems.

  5. Choose Check to examine the structure relationships for errors.

Note Note

Many batch input and direct input programs use a control record called BGR00 or BI000. Always assign the source structure of the top hierarchy level (the header structure) to this record.

End of the note.

Note Note

Multiple SAP structures can be assigned to a source structure, however, only one source structure can be assigned to an SAP structure. If you want to assign multiple source structures to a target structure, proceed as follows: Create your source structures in the conventional way. Then assign the lower level source structure to the target structure. You can then use the fields from both source structures for the fields of the target structure.

End of the note.

If you want to change a structure relationship, you have to delete the existing structure relationship first.
