In this section you set the prefix necessary to differentiate between attributes and products from different manufacturers. Each system should have its own prefix to ensure that newly created attributes and products do not overwrite those already existing.

The prefix is part of a globally clear and unmistakable internal identification key. This key consists of the prefix and a consecutive number and is automatically generated and assigned to each attribute or product. This means that you set the prefix once, and subsequently, every time an attribute or product is newly created, the system automatically issues the identification key in the set name range.

It is not possible to save attributes and products without specifying a prefix.

Standard settings

The prefix is supplied with no entry.

Recommendation

SAP recommends the following naming convention:

  • SAP: Every department within SAP has its own prefix. The prefix always begins with 'SAP', followed by the name or description of the department, for example, for Bank Current Accounts, 'SAP BCA'.
  • Customers: SAP recommends customers use the prefix 'Z' for their head office and start the prefix for their subsidiaries with 'Y', for example. 'Y001'.
  • Partners: Partners should start and end the prefix with a slash, for example, '/ABC/'.

Activities

Enter a prefix relevant for yourself.
