Customizing Setting Attributes

Standard

" Data is copied into the tables but can be changed later on(similar to transport)

Restricting customizing (Attribute fix )

" Certain customizing must not be changed by subsidiaries

" This set of settings is defined by global headquarters

" Subsidiaries cannot change these settings in local system

(repairs are possible)

" Fix attribute is only active in activation system

Flexible customizing production (Attribute variable)" Org. units in global and local systems may differ

" Option to change these values during activation

ThreeThreeThreeThree types of attributestypes of attributestypes of attributestypes of attributes ::::

" Standard:

When you create a BC Set, all fields except the key fields are selected in the Copy column and have the

attribute Standard . In this case the table field value is copied without confirmation when the BC Set isactivated and can be changed manually..

" Not changeable after activation:

Assign this attribute to table fields whose values are not to be changed after activation of the BC Set. The

values of these fields are copied unchanged when the BC Set is activated. This is for example the case

when Customizing settings are passed unchanged to subsidiaries in a group rollout. Business settings could

otherwise be accidentally overwritten after the BC Set has been activated.

" Get values at activation:

Assign this attribute to table fields whose values are to be specified by the user during activation of the BC

Set.

Customers can change the values of these fields when the BC Set is activated. All fields whose value

cannot yet be determined when the BC Set is created should have this attribute. These are typically

organizational units such as company code, plant, etc.

#If a field is marked in the Key column and in the Copy column , the value of the field is copied into the BC Set and

the attribute is set to fix.

If a field is marked in the Key column but not in the Copy column, you are prompted for the value when the BC Set

is activated, and you can change it

#You can also select data records by selection criteria. Choose Choose selectively. Enter a selection criterion in the

next window, e.g. Check rule = 'AE' and confirm with Continue. The data record which satisfies the criterion is

marked.
