Documentation
Definition
The reference InfoObject has the technical properties of an InfoObject:
- For characteristics, these are the data type and length, and the master data (attributes, texts, and hierarchies). The characteristic itself also contains the business characteristic role.
- For key figures, these are the key figure type, data type, and currency or unit of measure determination. However, the referencing key figure can have another exception aggregation or another aggregation reference characteristic.
Referencing key figures are important primarily with the elimination of internal business volume.Elimination characteristics can only be set using referencing key figures.
When using referencing key figures in InfoProviders it is important to note that the reference key figure also has to be included. Referencing key figures have no physical storage location in the database. Their values are calculated from the reference key figures, in the OLAP Processor, but are aggregated to other rules.
Several InfoObjects can use the same reference InfoObject. Such InfoObjects will automatically have the same technical properties and master data.
Example:
The characteristics Sender Cost Center and Recipient Cost Center use the reference characteristic Cost Center and thus use the same values and texts.
