In this step, you maintain the characteristics on which you wish to base evaluations.
Characteristics that are used frequently are already predefined and available in the SAP system.
The definition of characteristics is first carried out independently of an analysis structure and applies cross-client.
Before you define a new characteristic, you should first display all the existing characteristics. Now check to see if a suitable characteristic already exists. To do this, the following display options are available:
- All characteristics
- All characteristics for an analysis structure
- All characteristics not used in analysis structures
You can display characteristics that are fixed in each operating concern in a display screen for characteristics by choosing Extras -> Fixed fields.
Once you are in change mode, you can define new characteristics by choosing Create.
- Transferring characteristics from a reference table
You can transfer characteristics originally used in other applications (for example, from Single Transaction Costing or Standard Profitability Analysis) to Risk Analysis by transferring the characteristics from existing tables and structures. The table from which the characteristic is transferred is the table of origin of the characteristic.
Unlike Single Transaction Costing or Standard Profitability Analysis, these characteristics cannot be derived automatically from other characteristics unless you have explicitly maintained a derivation rule. For transferring from a table, only those characteristics are offered that can still be transferred. Fixed characteristics, characteristics already contained in the field catalog, and characteristics that cannot be used in Risk Analysis for technical reasons, cannot be transferred.
When transferring, fields in the reference tables must be renamed to avoid conflicting names if they are not 4 or 5 digits long. Their name must start with WY.
If the characteristic is to be named on screens or in lists with other texts (meaning, short text, title), you must remove the assignment to the original data element by choosing Editing -> Data element -> Delete assignment.
Then you can enter new texts on the detail screen. You can only delete the assignment to the data element as long as the characteristic has not been saved.
You should only change the entries made by the system for the text table, text field and long text field in exceptional cases. If you do, make sure that the text table key contains the same fields as the check table key.
- Defining characteristics yourself
You can freely define new characteristics that are to be used in Risk Analysis only.
You can define appropriate derivation rules for these characteristics. The name of a characteristic you define yourself must start with WY and be 4 or 5 characters long. Depending on what attributes you want, you must choose one of the following variations:
- With own value maintenance
- You usually define new characteristics with own value maintenance. You create a check table and text table for the characteristic. The characteristic can only adopt values contained in the check table.
- When you save, a dialog box appears in which you enter how the check table is to be created. Usually you create a check table automatically, meaning that the names of the tables are automatically allocated by the issuing of sequential numbers (I81xx, xx = being a sequential number). You can also do this manually, for example, to avoid name conflicts when transporting a risk management area to another system. In this case, you must ensure that the amount of allocated numbers is disjunct in the individual systems.
- Without value maintenance
- Here you create characteristics without a check table, which means without defined value amounts and texts. Accordingly, no check is carried out for the characteristic values.
- Relating to existing values
- A data element already existing in the system is assigned to the characteristic. The characteristic assumes the properties of the data element (texts, data type, length, check table and text table).
General information
You can change freely the texts of a characteristic you define yourself.
In contrast, the technical properties, the assigned data element and the check table can be changed only if the characteristic has not been saved.
A characteristic can be deleted as long as it has not been transferred to an analysis structure.
It is possible to define several characteristics with the same data element or the same texts (meaning, short text, title). However, it is not possible to transfer two fields with the same data element or texts into an analysis structure.
By choosing Value fields in the initial screen you can display key figures. It is not possible to maintain these key figures in Risk Analysis.
