Definition

Determines whether independent fields of a compound of characteristics are also uploaded.

Use

You use this indicator to determine what the system should do when uploading (dependent) characteristics that belong to a compound with an independent characteristic:

  • Indicator is selected: When you upload a dependent characteristic, the corresponding independent characteristic is uploaded, as well. However, this only applies if no role has been assigned to the independent characteristic within the current data basis.
  • Indicator is not selected: The system uploads only the characteristics that are explicitly chosen. Any independent characteristics are ignored.

Dependencies

When the indicator is selected, the system uses the same update mode for independent characteristics as for the characteristics chosen for the upload. However, there is one exception:

In contrast to standard procedure, in flexible uploads the system always uses the update mode Overwrite for the independent characteristic if the following conditions are given:

  • Update mode = Delete All
  • Indicator Delete All: Per Characteristic Value is selected.
  • The characteristic is chosen in the list of independent characteristics.

Note: If the last condition is not given (meaning that the characteristic is not chosen), the system uses the standard procedure described above. Then the same update mode is used for the independent characteristic as for the dependent characteristic.

Example

You want to upload data for the characteristic Asset Subnumber. This characteristic is compounded with the independent characteristic Asset Main Number. The following master data exists prior to the upload:

Master data for the asset main number:

Company    Asset Main Number

C1000    AMAIN1

Master data for the asset subnumber:

Company    Asset Main Number    Asset Subnumber

C1000    AMAIN1    ASUB1

You want to establish the following state of master data by performing an upload:

Master data for the asset main number:

Company    Asset Main Number

C1000    AMAIN2

Master data for the asset subnumber:

Company    Asset Main Number    Asset Subnumber

C1000    AMAIN2    ASUB2

To achieve this state, you create a method with the method category flexible upload for the characteristic Asset Subnumber. You select the indicator Also Upload Independent Field of Compound, select update mode Delete All, and execute the method with the following data:

Company    Asset Main Number    Asset Subnumber

C1000    AMAIN2    ASUB2
