Classes

Definition

Classes are groups of similar objects with common characteristics.

The classification concept in the SAP system can be used to control ALE distribution. Distributable object classes can be assigned to a message type and used as filters for distributing this message type.

For example, you can classify the following object types:

• Material

• Customer

• Vendor

A class contains characteristics that describe the attributes of the objects to be classified. You can define the values allowed for the characteristics.
