Documentation
Definition
Within the BDT you can define any number of applications for each application object (Applications menu option).
Each application can extend the maintenance of application objects by own elements (such as views, event function modules, etc).
Supplementary Documentation - BU_APPLI 0000
Use
Views can also be allocated to application '*' (cross-application). This means that the view will appear in any case, if it is allocated to that part, irrespective of whether the view's application is active.
This is mainly used for differentiation type views.
Procedure
Examples
Business partner has the differentiation type 'company code'. This field belongs to the application FI, which also generates the view. There are also roles, however, which need the company code but not the tables and program logic from FI.
For this the application '*' is allocated to the view "Initial screen: Company code". In the PAI function module for this view only the company code table T001 is checked. Using the function 'Further checks' the different applications can conduct additional checks, for example FI can check the company-code-dependent BP data in table KNB1.
Dependencies

Use
The user application uses the business partner relationship category and can add its own data fields to the relationship category.
Supplementary Documentation - BU_APPLI 0002
Use
The user application uses the business partner role definition category and can add its own data fields to it.
Supplementary Documentation - BU_APPLI 0003
Use
If an application is assigned to a GUI function, the GUI function is only active if the application is also active. In the case of application objects that also use divisibility in the BDT, the system also checks whether the application is assigned to the object part.
If no application is assigned to the GUI function, the active flag in the GUI function is responsible for determining the status.
Dependencies
Example
In FI-CA, a GUI function allows you to go directly from the business partner to display of the business partner's contract accounts. This function can only be active if FICA is active, and assigned to the BP role. In this case, the application has to be entered.
