Documentation
Definition
To generate several InfoObjects, you can specify a name pattern. If you do not specify a pattern, the field name is used.
Use
Special characters in the pattern are replaced as follows:
- Letters and numbers: Remain unchanged (might be converted to uppercase letters)
- + (plus): Replaced by the InfoObject type (key figure/characteristic/unit). If you use this element, you can specify which character is used for each type.
- ~ (tilde): Replaced by the relevant sign from the assigned field name.
- # (number sign): Replaced by a sequential number. This element is used to resolve conflicts: If an InfoObject with this name already exists or is to be generated, the number is increased by one.
Dependencies
If you do not use a sequential number (no '#') and the pattern results in a name that is already in use, the existing InfoObjects are assigned (this is displayed in the wizard) or the InfoObject is assigned twice (leads to an error message in the wizard). In this case, change each name individually as required.
Example
- FI+~~~~~: The InfoObject FICCUSTO is assigned to the CUSTOMER field
- ~~~~##: The InfoObjects CUST01 and CUST02 are assigned to the CUSTOMER and CUSTNR fields.
