Definition

Generic type for master data in Financial Basis. You can create concrete values using the methods of interface IF_UG_MD_CHAR.

Use

Field names that start with INCLUDE are expanded. The type of this field must be one of the predefined, generic types.

Included structures are replaced by the concrete type if they have a predefined, generic type.

If you specify the role *, the system generates the type for all roles. Otherwise, the type is only generated for the characteristics with the specified role.

Dependencies

Example

Say, you have the following generic types:

Field     Type

INCLUDE1    UGMD_S_GEN_KEY

UNAME     UNAME

With these types and with a characteristic with the keys /1FB/CS_CHART and /1FB/CS_ITEM, the system would create the types as follows:

Field     Type

/1FB/CS_CHART    /1FB/MD__123456

/1FB/CS_ITEM     /1FB/MD__123457

UNAME     UNAME
