Standards for creating fields & table names

[#1]

Hi All,

I need to know if there are any SAP standards or standards from clients to be followed in creating new fields, tables & description.

If there are any such data, please share with me.

Urgent.

Hi Pramod

I am listing some of the best practices for naming convention to be followed in MDM:

1> Use same field description from ECC for field name and in code replace the blank spaces with underscores. This helps in doing automapping the fields.

2> In case your source data is non SAP system follow the logical Data model naming conventions which will again help in Mapping the fields while importing n syndicating.

3> Use Z prefix for fields which you are adding in the Std repositories.

4> Also depending upon the field type we can add suitable suffix. Like for all Qualifiers in Qualified table add _Q and _NQ for non qualifiers.

hope this helped.
