These information types are categorized with their corresponding additional information into information categories.
Activities
To determine additional information for a business partner, set the information category, assign information types to this category, determine the values permitted for the field with F4 input help, and assign business partner roles to the information categories in which they are to be processed.
Set information category
In this step you define information categories that can be used to categorize information types, and set up additional information fields for each information type:
- Create a key for the information category under information category. This key can have a maximum of two characters.
- Enter a description for the information category under Description. This can have a maximum of twenty characters.
- Enter under differentiation whether the information category can also be processed from within differentiation.
- If you set the default indicator, then you determine that the system automatically uses this information category as default when processing additional information.
- If you set the additional types indicator, then you determine that you can create additional information types with additional information when processing the additional information.
- If you set the Organization indicator, then you determine that you can create the information category for business partners belonging to the category Organization.
- If you set the Natural Person indicator, then you determine that you can create the information category for business partners belonging to the category Natural Person.
- If you set the Group indicator, then you determine that you can create the information category for business partners belonging to the category Group.
- Modify the additional information field for the information category. Set the field status for the individual additional information fields under F4 field, checkbox, text field, amount field, valid from, valid to, and date. You can determine for each field whether the field should be hidden or displayed, and whether values can be entered into the field or whether these values have to be entered.
