Documentation
Definition
Represents the smallest entity of meaningful information.
Use
You use fact categories to reference the attributes of a fact to the dictionary. This is done by assigning a field contained in structure PSFACTS_FIELD_DESCRIPTORS to the fact category. SAP delivers some predefined fields in this structure, for example date or amount. Customers can include their own fields using include CI_FACTS_FIELD_DESC.
Documentation, search helps, and format must all be defined in this structure. Each fact category is supplemented by a qualifier. The qualifier represents a piece of data that completes the meaning of the data, for example the unit of measure or the currency.
Dependencies
Fact categories are grouped into fact types.
Example
You might want to have fact categories for date, amount with its currency, or business partner.
