You can display the display attributes in the report as additional information on a characteristic but you cannot use them to navigate.

Display attributes can be created for user-defined characteristics with generated check tables ('generated characteristics'), characteristics delivered from the system field catalog, and other characteristics which refer to SAP tables.

You maintain the attribute for the characteristic when maintaining the characteristic itself. Choose the function 'Attributes'.

Display attributes for user-defined characteristics with generated check tables

In addition to the navigation attributes, which you create for generated characteristics, you can create display attributes. These attributes are not available in the field catalog and you can define them as you wish.

  1. To do this, choose the function 'Insert new attribute'.
  2. Enter a name for the attribute.
  3. Choose 'Create display attribute: create new without reference to the field catalog'. Choose 'Create'.
  4. Enter the description, type and length of the attribute. As default all letters are saved as capitals. You must decide if small letters are to be allowed, for example in an address.
  5. Save and then activate the attribute.
  6. Maintain the attribute for each characteristic value in the master data maintenance.

Display attributes for characteristics delivered from the system field catalog

SAP supplies certain display attributes for delivered characteristics. Choose 'Attributes' to display these.

Display attributes for other characteristics which refer to SAP tables

You can copy fields from the characteristic check table as attributes. To make sure that each attribute is filled by the system, you must create a function module (for exceptional cases, see below) and enter it in the appropriate field on this screen. You can find an example of a function module in the F1 Help for this field.

  1. Choose the function 'Copy attributes'.
  2. Select fields from the template table and copy them using the 'copy' key.
  3. Enter the name of the function module.
  4. Save and then activate the attribute.

You can copy display attributes from the following tables without creating a function module: T001, T014, FM01, TKA01, T005, TVKO, T880, T881, T852V.
