Properties are settings used to control the basic configuration of the SAP Sourcing applications. Examples of properties are the hostname of the SMTP (mail gateway) server and the maximum size of attachments that can be uploaded by sell-side users.
There are three scope levels for properties:
System properties affect the entire server or server cluster
Enterprise properties affect the entire enterprise context
Company properties affect a company's context
The set of properties you can see and edit in Setup is determined by your user account.
If you need to set a property and it does not appear in the list on the System Property List page, you can create the property from the list of properties available at your scope level. If the property you need to set does not appear in the list of available properties, consult SAP technical support.
Note
Be sure that you are logged in at the correct scope level before creating a property or contacting technical support. All properties are not visible at all scope levels.
