Documentation

Definition

By assigning a constant to a characteristic, you specify a fixed value for the characteristic. The characteristic therefore exists on the database (e.g. for validation during data entry), but is no longer relevant for reporting (i.e. no aggregation / drill down for this characteristic).

The assignment of a constant is mainly of use for compound characteristics.

Example:

• The characteristic 'Storage location' in table T001L is linked to the characteristic 'Plant'. If only one plant is used in the application, a fixed value can be assigned to the plant. Validation against the storage location master data table T001L is performed correctly for the plant. However in the report, only the characteristic 'Storage location' is available for evaluation.

Exception:

• If fixed value SPACE (Type CHAR) or 00..0 (Type NUMC) is to be assigned to the characteristic, enter the sign # in the first character.
