Adding a Subpackage to a Package 

Use

The semantic units within the Main package are represented by its sub-packages. They contain the assigned development objects, along with the associated sub-packages if they exist. This is known as nesting.

Prerequisites

·        You have created the parent package.

·        You have opened the relevant main package in the Package Builder OR it is visible in the object list tree of SE80.

Procedure

You can add packages to a parent package in two ways. You can

●      create new sub-packages from within a parent package

Or

●      add existing packages to a parent package.

To create new sub-packages to the parent package:

...

       1.      Choose the Subpackages tab in the package builder OR right click on the parent package name in the SE80 object list.

       2.      To create new sub-packages, choose the Create button in the Package Builder or choose Create->Development Coordination->Package from the SE80 tree.
The system displays the Create Package dialog box.

       3.      Enter attributes for this package.
Enter a name for the package that complies with the tool’s Naming Conventions. Within SAP itself, Basis package names must begin with S; other packages must begin with a letter from A to R, or from U to X

       4.      Confirm your entries.

       5.      Repeat steps 1-4 for any other sub-packages you want to create.

       6.      Choose Save.

To add existing packages to a parent package, choose the Add button from within the Subpackages tab and enter the name of the package.
