Documentation
Definition
When updating transaction data or master data attributes you can choose between two update types. In the first update type data records are only updated if the corresponding master data already exists. In the second update type data records are always updated. If master data does not exist in the system then the corresponding entries are created.
For transaction data you can set the update parameters in the scheduler. With master data you make the settings in this transaction.
Example
You have the InfoObject MATERIAL for which the navigation attribute COLOR exist. You want to create a new entry in the master data maintenance: MATERIAL 4711 with color RED. In the master data table of the navigation attribute COLOR the value RED does not yet exist.
You can determine here how the system should react in such a case:
- Verify master data: The new data record is only entered if the value RED of the navigation attribute COLOR already exists in the system.
- Create master data: Data records are fundamentally updated. Navigation attributes that do not exist are created.
