Definition

The data source from which key field of a database table is taken in order to select additional master data tables (such as KNVV or MARA), for example.

Use

A rule must be defined for each field of the primary key of a database table, so that the fields can be filled at runtime. The fields can be filled with data such as customer or material, for example, which is provided on the selection screen.

The following data sources are possible:

  • Global data which mainly contain organizational data, the document type or the pricing date
  • Head data which can be derived from the customer
  • Item data which can be derived from the material
  • HeadItem data which can be derived from the combination of customer and material
  • Direct Value which is a constant

Before the database selection takes place, the Global data, Head data, Item data and HeadItem data is prefilled. These prefilled structures are generally used as data sources.

However, it is possible that you will need additional data (which is transferred from the price list selection). This is possible for Global data, Head data and Item data. Technically, it is a data reference to an arbitrary structure.
