Use

Scopes of generation and valuation symbols, which you require to define XSteps and standard XSteps , are grouped in namespaces. The SAP standard delivery contains the namespace SAP, which furthermore contains the scopes of generation and valuation symbols provided by SAP.

You define your own namespaces in this segment, which you can assign to both those scopes of generation and valuation symbols, which have been provided by SAP, as well as those that you have defined yourself.

To be able to use the namespaces that you have defined, proceed as follows:

1. You define new namespaces in this activity
1. Create data categories for the namespace. The data category specifies the different data types that can be used in the namespace.
2. Create the valuation symbols for the namespace that are used for the parameter definition. You must assign a data category to each valuation symbol.
If you want to use your own valuation symbols, you must implement BAdI CMX_XS_SRV_SYM. To do this, access the Customizing for process management and choose Business Add-Ins in Process Management -> BAdI: Definition of Valuation Symbols for XSteps.
3. You create the namespace for the scopes of generation. You must assign a data category to each scope of generation.
If you want to use your own scopes of generation, you must implement the BAdI CMX_XS_SRV_GEN. To do this, access Customizing for Process Management and choose Business Add-Ins in Process Management -> BAdI: Definition of Scopes of Generation for XSteps.
4. If the BAdI implementation for your own scope of generation contains further scopes of generation, you must list the namespaces for all scopes of generation used. The namespaces must all have been released.
Example:
You want to implement a scope of generation for all material components with batch management requirements. In doing so, you use the scope of generation For all material components which is provided by SAP in your implementation. In this case, you must specify the namespaces of both scopes of generation.
You can also assign key fields to the scope of generation that are set directly from the scope of generation.
2. Release the new namespace.
   Release name space

Requirements

Standard settings

Note that even though the definition of the namespaces is client-independent, the release of the namespaces is client-dependent. That is, you must release the namespaces in each client that you want to use.

To do this, execute the activity Release namespaces.

For further information see Recommendations for multiclientoperation.
