Customer Attributes

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need some help with the requirement for the below IMG activity. Namely, I need the process for creating the attributes. Data Dictionaries are new to me.

thanks.

Definition of Customer Attributes for Object Types

Use

You can define a user attribute here. Then assign it to an object. The Transactions, Configuration and Development tabs show the object types . The attribute is project and solution-independent, and is shown in an object dialog box in the Other Attributes tab.

Requirements

The attributes of the attribute are specified in the table or structure fields in the Data Dictionary, so they must be maintained there.

For example:

Integer or Character

Field length

Value help

Activities

To create a user attribute:

1. Choose New Entries.

2. Enter a name and description of the attribute.

The name and description are shown later in the object dialog window, and you cannot change the name after you have saved, so use a meaningful name and description.

3. Save.

Specify attribute attributes:

4. Select an attribute and choose Attribute Attributes in the tree.

5. Specify a Data Dictionary table or structure field or choose from the value help.

6. Specify in the field Value Check:

whether the entry is to be checked against a value list. These values are offered as selection help.

whether it is a required field.

7. In the field Multiple Values, whether this attribute can take only one, or several values.

8. In the field Visibility whether the field is visible in the attribute dialog.

Hi Jason,

depending on what kind of attribute you want to add, you ll do different things on se11 or you might even not use SE11 transaction.

I ll take the example that i first chose. You want to add a date as an attribute to your program.

You know (thanks to F1, then technical information button on a date field) that it's for example a data element of type TRDATE or POSTING_DATE or whatever, a random data element AND that its contained in the table TRHEADER OR CRMD_ORDERADM_H or whatever table in Solman.

All the information you need will be displayed by doing F1 of a kind of element you re interested in and by clicking on Technical Info...

Values displayed can be used to set YOUR custom attribute for SOLAR01/02.

PS: Important info in your case are "Field Name" & "Table Name" when looking at tech info

Maybe i can also help u directly with the actual attribute you re trying to add !

Hope that helps !

Regards,

Khalil
