Use

This IMG activity describes the generating of symbols.

Requirements

Activities

  1. In the Basic Data and Tools menu, choose Tools -> Match Up Master Data.
  2. Select Generate Symbols and execute the activity.

    The system creates symbols for the entries in the IMG activities Specify Value Assignment Types and Specify Tables for Report Symbol Generation.

For more information about master data matchup, see SAP Library for the component Basic Data and Tools under Master Data Matchup.

Further notes

You can generate new symbols at any point in time.

The structure of the symbol table is described in the IMG activity Check and Specify Report Symbols.

Symbol Keys

Symbols generated by master data matchup are assigned a key that follows a specific algorithm. The key begins with G. The subsequent characters are constructed as follows:

  • In the case of table fields, the table name and the first 5 characters of the field name are added.
  • In the case of properties, certain characters of the class name and certain characters of the characteristic name are added.
  • If this method produces identical keys, the system assigns a serial number to the key. This serial number starts at the tenth character of the key and works backwards.

For more information, see SAP Library for the Basic Data and Tools component under Nomenclature of Symbol Names.
