Definition

Descriptive text for the substring breakdown of master data. You break down the substrings by entering the individual lengths of the fields that the substring value has to be broken down into.

Note
This breakdown has the intention of grouping the individual elements for reporting purposes, rather than breaking them down into individual segments. The grouping can refer to one or several characters in the breakdown of each substring. See the example below.

Use

You can use the detailed breakdown of substrings in order to describe the detailed structure of a public sector organization.

In a second step, you can generate master data sets with the report RFFMFMMD_SETGEN. These sets can then be used for reporting purposes in the Report Writer transaction GRR2. In such reports it is, for example, required to structure financial expense items according to the areas of an organization.

Dependencies

Example

The breakdown of the substrings indicates the number of characters the substring value has to be broken down into. In this example, the breakdown contains a substring with the value 1234567 having the following meanings:

  • Partial length 1 = Public sector organization
    • Partial length 1 = 1 character. This corresponds to the first character/value (1) in the substring.
    • Description 1 = This is the description of partial length 1, for example .
  • Partial length 2 = Functional area in the organization
    • Partial length 2 = 3 characters. This corresponds to the first three characters (123) in the substring and is the second value in the substring.
    • Description 2 = This is the description of partial length 2.
  • Partial length 3 = Subfunction in the organization   
    • Partial length 3 = 5 characters. This corresponds to the first five characters (12345) in the substring and is the third value in the substring.
    • Description 3 = This is the description of partial length 3.
  • Total length = Entire length of substring, characters 1 to 7.
