Definition

The representative data element of a set or variable controls the way sets and variables for table fields can be used.

Sets and variables can be used for a certain table field if one of the following conditions is met:

  1. They were created for the table field
  2. They were created for a table field that has the same data element
  3. They were created for a table field that has a different data element but the same representative data element.

If two table fields have different data elements, but the same technical properties, a representative data element defines that sets and variables can be used for both table fields.

Example

Data elements KSTAR and RACCT both have the same representative data element SAKNR (this name is stored in table SETDTEL).

Data element Repr. data element
KSTAR SAKNR
RACCT SAKNR

In a report for table GLFUNCT for the Account characteristic (field GLFUNCT-RACCT with data element RACCT), you could use all sets created for table fields with the data elements KSTAR, RACCT, or SAKNR - in other words, the cost element groups that were created for table field CCSS-KSTAR with data element KSTAR.
