Documentation
Definition
Means that the field is used as a key field, but the DME Engine does not sort data according to this criterion.
Use
This setting is useful if the total length of the sort fields is limited (for the PAYM tree type, for example) and if the calling application already sorts data according to this field.
For the PAYM tree type, you define a payment format's level of detail in the Payment Medium Workbench (PMW). The DMEE Controller no longer needs to use fields for sorting purposes that are selected in this definition,since the PMW already presorts payment data according to these criteria.You can then set the No Sorting indicator for these fields in the DME Engine; this results in additional space in the format tree, which allows you to use additional fields as sort fields.
You can also set the indicator for key fields of level 001, if you are sure that all data has the same value for this field and sorting is therefore not necessary.
Dependencies
Example
For payment format V3 for Austria, the company code is selected as the level of detail by which the payment medium is sorted. Therefore, the No Sorting indicator can be set in the DME Engine for the key field FPAYH-ZBUKR.
