Definition

You set this indicator for generating correspondence if this is the first correspondence you are processing for the business transaction for the correspondence type and the medium selected.

Example: You create a transaction and immediately afterwards, you change it. The last function (field: SFUNKTL) recorded in the SAP System for the business transaction is the 'activity change' information. For external purposes, this transaction should be confirmed as a new transaction, not a changed one. Using the SFIRST field, you can determine whether this is the first correspondence for external purposes. You can create your own text within SAPscript by making the following programming entries.

SAPscript:
IF &TBCO_ALL-SFIRST(I1)& <> ' '
.... e.g: 'New entry'
ENDIF
