Use

In this Customizing activity, you can use data elements to enhance the data storage for multiple value fields. For multiple value fields it is necessary to create a database table (one per field) to hold the data. For this, SAP defines strict rules and naming conventions.

The following are the relevant short entity names for Risk Management objects:

Object Name         Short Entity Name

Response     RP

Enhancement plan     RP

Incident     IC

For a complete list of relevant short entity names for Process Control, go to the system table GRFNENTITY.

Note: For each user-defined field, you must create a structure named ZGRCS_XXnnnn and a database table named ZGRCT_XXnnnn, where XX is the Short Entity Name and nnnn is a four digit number (0000 - 9999).

Activities

For the following example, assume we are creating the ZZ_KEY_DATE field as a multi value field:

1. Select the Data type field, and enter a name according to the naming conventions. For example, ZGRCS_RP0001.
2. Choose Create.
3. On the Create Type screen, select Structure, and then choose Execute.
4. Enter the structure description and define a structure field ZZ_KEY_DATE of type ZRM_RESP_KEYDATE.

   Keep the following in mind:

• The field naming conventions and restrictions for the customer includes also applies here.
• There can be only one field per structure and database table. If you need more multiple value fields, you must create separate structures and database tables for each.
• For the structure ZGRCS_RP0001, you must enter information about the Enhancement Category. This is required because the user-defined include structure is already an enhancement structure, and cannot be further enhanced. To enter the enhancement category, choose Extras --> Enhancement Category. In the window that appears, select Cannot Be Enhanced, and then choose Copy.
5. Save, check, and activate the structure.
6. On the ABAP Dictionary: Initial Screen, select Database Table, and enter the name of the database table according to the naming convention. For example ZGRCT_RP0001.
7. Choose Create.
8. Enter the table name, and in the Delivery Class field, select A for Application table.
9. Navigate to the Fields tab page, and then enter the following fields as key fields:
• MANDT type MANDT
• OBJECT_ID type GRFN_API_OBJECT_ID
• SEQNR type GRFN_SEQNR
• Include the previously defined structure ZGRCS_IS0001.
10. Choose Technical Settings.
11. In the Data class field, enter APPL1.
12. For the Size category, choose an option based on your expectation of the data volume, such as 1.
13. Save the technical settings.
14. Navigate back to the ABAP dictionary maintenance screen, and then activate the table.
