Switchable Objects 

Switchable objects are split into two groups.

The following can be switched via their package assignment:

·        Appends; SI and CI includes for Dictionary structures

·        Fixed value appends for domains

·        Secondary indexes

·        Append search helps

·        Enhancement implementations (including those containing BAdI implementations)

·        Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets)

When a package is switched off, all switchable elements it contains are also switched off. Reports cannot be switched. However, a report belonging to a switchable package is not generated automatically after import. The reason for this is that the report could use switched off objects, which would lead to syntax errors during generation. When such a report is called, it is generated however. Whether a package is switched on or off has no effect on any other elements of the package.

The following are switched directly:

·        Screen elements and PBO/PAI modules in the screen

·        Menu entries

·        IMG nodes

·        Fields in maintenance views and views in Customizing view clusters

Transactions cannot be switched but you can switch the relevant transaction calls in the menu so that the transaction can no longer be called via the menu.
