Definition

There are two main types of virtual column:

  • An image column. You must maintain the image name, the image type, and the large image flag in Customizing by choosing SAP NetWeaver -> Business Intelligence -> Settings for BI Content -> Trade Industries -> Retailing -> Merchandise and Assortment Planning.
  • A calculated column. You can maintain the following entities:
    • String
    • Checkbox
    • Amount
    • Quantity
    • Number
    • Integer
    • Date
    • Time
    • Unit
    • Currency

      For a calculated column, you must also implement the BAdI BADI_UPARM_ROW_MODIFIED in the enhancement spot ES_UPARM, in order to define how the value will be calculated.
