Documentation

Definition

Contains the number of the parent segment which is superior to the segment, i.e. the contents of field SEGNUM from the corresponding data record.

Use

When generating an IDoc, the IDoc Interface maintains the field in the data records according to the syntax of the IDoc type being used.

If an EDI subsystem is implemented, the system should not maintain this field (from the SAP system side) in inbound processing, in order to avoid unnecessary errors: the IDoc Interface checks all transferred values against the syntax of the relevant IDoc type.
