Documentation

Definition

The installed base category differentiates the business use of installed bases. This is described in the category description.
Example: Category 02 = Variant configuration

The installed bases for some installed base categories are not processed directly using the Installed Base Management transactions, instead the data is saved in the installed base after the consistency check by the application.

(See also table T371A.)

Note:

• The application programs are programmed specifically for certain installed base categories. Therefore, you should not make changes to the SAP entries for these installed base categories before first contacting your SAP consultant.
• You can use the SET/GET-Parameter IBV to set a default value for an installed base category.
