Definition
You use the calculation method to control if and how a key field is updated in the data target.
Source field: The key field is filled directly from the selected field in the InfoSource.
Constant: The key field is not filled by the InfoSource. Instead it is filled directly by the specified value.
Formula: The key field is filled by a formula.
Master data attribute for: The key field is filled by reading the master data from another field in the InfoSource. If the attribute is time-dependent, you must also determine when you want the read to take place; the current date (sy-date), at the start or end of a period ( determined by a time-characteristic in the InfoSource) or on a constant date that you specify directly. The sy-date is used by default.
Routine: The key field is filled by an ABAP routine written by you.
Blank: The key field is not filled. It remains empty.
