What is the use of Source Partner function

Dear Experts,
Can you please explain me the exact use of Source Partner Function in Partner Functions in procedures in Customizing.
Is it used to propose only sold to party partner function or any partner function from the master data of particular partner function.
I read SAP standard help but I got confused because of its example. It is as below.
Source partner function
Partner function which serves as an alternative source for determining the sold-to party.
Procedure
If you don't want the system to propose a partner from the sold-to party master record, enter another partner function here. The system will then propose the sold-to party from the master record of your partner function.
Example
If you enter WE (ship-to party) in this field for the function VE (sales employee), when you create the sales document,  it determines the sold-to party from the VE partner function in the ship-to party's master document.
kindly reply. thanks in advance

Dear Sagar,
While determining the partner functions you can define that particular partner should be determined from the source partner functions master data.
For example you want to determine the Freight forwarder and you want to make sure that  this partner function should be proposed as per the ship to party then in customizing for freight forwarder partner function you will maintain the source as ship to party. Due to this customization when you will be creating the sales order for sold to party x and assume that for x you are having two different ship to party at two distinct locations. For these  two locations you have different freight forwarder  providing the services(one for each location). So to determine the right freight forwarder the above mentioned customizing will be required. Otherwise system will propose this partner function as per sold to and that will be same for all ship to.
Hope this example will help you to understand the usage of source in partner determination.
Thanks and regards,
Atul

  • What is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

    Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),
    Actually we create partner functions  before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.
    These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.
    Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.
    Thanks&Regards
    sreenivas peruru

    There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.
    Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.
    So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...
    Hope this helps...

  • What is the use of To_date, to_char functions?

    what is the use of To_date, to_char functions?
    while i am using these in my day to day activities but never able to know the exact working of tehse.
    Message was edited by:
    437022

    Dates are stored and manipulated as coded (binary) values that always contain "century, year, month, date, hour, minute second"
    We don't want to see the date as stored. We want to see the characters (digits) that make up the date. So we use to_char(the-date-value)
    We want to tell the system a date, but have a heck of a time entering the binary. So we input the characters (digits) that make up the date and tell the system to convert that to a binary 'date' using to_date(our-string-that-respresents-dates)
    The magic Oracle has added is the format codes (see chapter 2 of the SQL Reference manual for the complete list). We can get the system to print out dates and times, including day of week (and so on) using format codes.
    The default format is to show us the date but not the time. Which leads a lot of people to believe that the time is not stored.

    what is the use of Multiple source in Logical Table under BMM Layer?
    thanks in advance

    Or more generally speaking:
    To create a "logical table" consisting of multiple "physical tables"...hence the names. It's the backbone of the whole BI server concept and the way the rpd handles the requests.

  • What is the use of ABC indicator in functional location segment.

    Hi Expert,
    I want to know about ABC indicator in functional location segement actually, what is the use of indicators in master data?
    Regards,
    Ram Rathode

    Hi,
    As per Application help, ABC indicator signifies:
    An indicator that is assigned by the procedure of ABC analysis.
    The following ABC indicators are possible:
    A - Important
    B - Less important
    C - Relatively unimportant
    According to these criteria, "A" materials are those materials that are of greatest importance for the production operations of a company.
    Examples of use for ABC indicators are vendor master records, material master records, and master records of technical objects.
    You can customize the values in ABC indicator as per your requirement

  • What is the use of  keyword SCAN ABAP-SOURCE

    Hello experts,
    what is the use of scan abap-source. please explain. what is tokens, statements, levels in that.

    Hi
    <b>SCAN</b>
    This statement is for internal use only.
    It cannot be used in application programs.
    <b>SCAN ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...TOKENS INTO itab2
                           ...STATEMENTS INTO itab3.</b>
    Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
    <b>Addition 1</b>
    ... FROM n1
    <b>Addition 2</b>
    ... TO   n2
    Breaks down the source code table itab1 into tokens not from start to finish, but only from line n1 to line n2.
    The additions FROM n1 and TO n2 must, in this order, follow the specification of the source code table itab1.
    When using the start specification n1, use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC to ensure that there are no unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC.
    The end specification n2 is treated as "soft", i.e. a statement that begins on a line <= n2, but ends only on a line > n2, is returned completely.
    If the end specification n2 is split in a chain statement, only the split part up to the next comma is returned completely, not the entire chain statement up to the next period.
    Negative line specifications are not allowed and result in a runtime error.
    A line specification of 0 amounts essentially to no specification.
    If n1 number of lines in source code table, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).
    If n1 > n2 and n2 > 0, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).
    <b>
    Addition 3</b>
    ... KEYWORDS FROM itab4
    Does not return all statements, only those specified in the key word table itab4.
    If the key word table is empty (i.e. it contains 0 lines), all the statements are selected.
    The lines of the key word table are treated as a character field.
    To select a Native-SQL-statement or a macro definition, you can specify the pseudo key words EXEC_SQL or DEFINE_MACRO. It makes no difference whether the statements EXEC or DEFINE occur as well. Native SQL statements and macro definitions are returned as one statement (of type E or M even if the expansion of a macro definition results in more than one statement.
    If the key word table contains a blank line, blank statements are also selected.
    <b>Addition 4</b>
    ... LEVELS INTO itab5
    Stores details about each edited source code unit (source code table itab1 itself, expanded include-programs, expanded macro definitions) in the level table itab5.
    Specification of a level table makes sense only with the addition WITH INCLUDES.
    The level table itab5 must have the structure SLEVEL.
    The fields of the structure SLEVEL - and consequently the columns of the level table itab5 have the following meaning:
    TYPE
    Type of source code unit with the following possible values:
    P (Program)
    D (Internal DEFINE macro)
    R (Macro from table TRMAC)
    NAME
    Name of source code unit (name of include program, macro name)
    DEPTH
    Current nesting depth of source code unit (>= 1)
    LEVEL
    Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) source code unit in the level table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
    STMNT
    Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) statement in the statement table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
    FROM
    Index of first statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
    TO
    Index of last statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
    If the source code unit contains include programs or macro calls, the line range [ FROM, TO] in the statement table also covers the statements in subordinate source code units.
    <b>Addition 5</b>
    ...  STRUCTURES INTO itab6
    Details of the construction of the source text table are given in the structure table itab6.
    The structure table itab6 must have the structure SSTRUC.
    The fields in SSTRUC (which are also the columns of structure table itab6) have the following meanings:
    TYPE
    Type of the structure with possible values:
    P (Beginning of the source code)
    R (Subroutine)
    M (Macro, EXEC SQL)
    I (Loop)
    A (Case distinction)
    C (Condition in a case distinction)
    J (Goto command)
    D (Structured declaration)
    E (Event)
    S (Follow-on from simple structured statement)
    STMNT_TYPE
    The statement type of the beginning of the structure. The values are listed in the type pool SCAN in structure SCAN_STRUC_STMNT_TYPE.
    KEY_START
    Flags whether the start of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise ' ').
    KEY_END
    Flags whether the end of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise blank).
    STMNT_FROM
    Index of the first statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
    STMNT_TO
    Index of the last statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
    Index of the first substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
    STRUC_TO
    Index of the last substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
    BACK
    Index of the structure in the structure table itab6 that contains the structure as a substructure (0 if the structure is the root structure of a structure tree).
    <b>Addition 6</b>
    ... OVERFLOW INTO c1
    The addition is only allowed and required if the token table itab2 has the structure STOKEN or STOKEX.
    If a token is too large to be stored in the token table in the field STR, it is placed in the overflow area c1. The offset of the token in the overflow area then lies in the token table in the field OFF1.
    <b>Addition 7</b>
    ... WITH ANALYSIS
    Breaks down each token t = a+b(c) according to the logic of the RSYN key word >ANALY into its three components a, b and c.
    Offset and length of components a, b and c are stored in the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3, and LEN3 in the token table. (The offset of OFF1 is always 0 and therefore not required.)
    If you specify the addition WITH ANALYSIS, the token table itab2 must have the structure STOKESX, so that the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3 and LEN3 are available.
    If the token table has the structure STOKEX, you must consider the following:
    If the whole token exists in the token table, the offset specifications are relative to the token start. If the token is in the overflow area c1, the offset specifications are relative to the start of the overflow area.
    <b>Addition 8</b>
    ... WITH COMMENTS
    Returns comments also, with each individual comment representing a token. The system additionally stores entries for each full block of comments in the table itab3, differentiating between comments that occur within statements and those that occur at program level. In itab3, an entry for a comment within a statement always comes before the statement containing the comment.
    <b>Example</b>
    Look at the following program fragment. The preceding numbers are the indexes of the tokens.
    1    * An example  *
    2    * with scattered comments
    6    MOVE
    3    * Inserted comment 1
    7    X
    4    *  Inserted comment 2
    8    TO
    9    Y
    5    * Inserted comment 3
    SCAN then enters the following values for the components TYPE, FROM and TO (in this order from left to right) into itab3.
    'P' 1 2
      'S' 3 5
      'K' 6 9
    If the addition ... WITH COMMENTS is used, the table itab2 must have the line type STOKES or STOKESX.
    <b>Addition 9</b>
    ... WITH INCLUDES
    Also breaks down subordinate source code units (included programs, called macros) into tokens.
    You should normally combine the addition WITH INCLUDES with the addition LEVELS INTO itab5.
    If (at least) one included program does not exist, SY-SUBRC is set to 1 and the relevant INCLUDE statement is flagged in the statement table itab3 by the statement type J (instead of I), but the breakdown process continues. The level table itab5 contains no entry for include-programs that do not exist.
    If you combine WITH INCLUDES with WITHOUT TRMAC , TRMAC-Macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
    When macro calls are expanded, no position specifications are available. The corresponding fields in the token table itab2 and the statement table itab3 are then set to 0.
    <b>Addition 10</b>
    ... WITH TYPE-POOLS
    This addition has the same effect as the WITH INCLUDES addition, except that with the former include programs belonging to type groups are broken down into tokens.
    <b>Addition 11</b>
    .. WITH LIST TOKENIZATION
    Tokens of the form (a1, a2, a3) are not returned as tokens but broken down into the elementary components.
    <b>Addition 12</b>
    ... WITHOUT TRMAC
    If a statement begins neither with an ABAP/4 key word nor with a DEFINE macro, the system does not check whether this is a TRMAC macro, but assumes an unknown statement. (Unknown statements are flagged in the statement table itab3 with a U in the field TYPE.)
    To avoid unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC, you should use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC whenever you assume that the source code to be scanned contains unknown statements. Unknown statements are particularly likely to occur if you use the addition FROM n1, because the scanner does not start at the beginning of the source code, but from a specified point.
    If you use WITHOUT TRMAC with WITH INCLUDES, TRMAC macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
    <b>Addition 13</b>

    ... WORD    INTO c5
    <b>Addition 17</b>
    ... LINE    INTO n3
    <b>Addition 18</b>
    ... OFFSET  INTO n4
    The above additions have the same meaning as those for the
    SYNTAX-CHECK: statement: c2 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, while the fields c3, c4, c5, n3 and n4 are output fields in case an error occurs.
    To be able to analyze errors without modifying programs, use the additions INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET. These provide information about the errors which have occurred.
    <b>Variant 2</b>
    SCAN AND CHECK ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...RESULT INTO itab2.
    Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
    <b>Extras:</b>
    1. ... PROGRAM FROM c1 2. ... INCLUDE INTO c2
    3. ... MESSAGE INTO c3
    4. ... WORD    INTO c4
    5. ... LINE    INTO n1
    6. ... OFFSET  INTO n2
    The syntax of the program in table itab1 is checked. During the check, all of the information from the program, such as statement structures, statements, tokens, data objects, types and do on are placed into the result field. This field must have the type SYSCH_RESULT, which is defined in type group SYSCH. You must therefore declare type group SYSCH in your ABAP-program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
    &ABAP_ADDITION _1&
    ... PROGRAM FROM c1
    &ABAP_ADDITION _2&
    ... INCLUDE INTO c1
    &ABAP_ADDITION _3&
    ... MESSAGE INTO c3
    &ABAP_ADDITION _4&
    ... WORD    INTO c4
    &ABAP_ADDITION _5&
    ... LINE    INTO n1
    &ABAP_ADDITION _6&
    ... OFFSET  INTO n2
    The above additions have the same effect as the corresponding additions in the statement SYNTAX-CHECK: c1 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, the fields c2, c3, c4, n1 and n2 are output fields, used when errors occur.
    To enable you to analyze errors without having to modify the program, you should specify the INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET additions for the information about the error that occurred.

  • What's the Best Open Source DB for use with Kodo?

    Hi everyone,
    In terms of ease of setup and use, tools to view info in the database, and least difficulty in
    running with Kodo, what is the best open source database to use? I'm use to using Oracle and
    SQLPlus. I need to use an open source DB for a learning environment, and I'd like your informed
    opinion.
    Thanks,
    David Ezzio

    I have been using postgresql 7.1 with Kodo for a while with mostly positive results, and currently
    have it deployed with Kodo 2.2.3. I prefer it to mysql because its feature set is a little richer,
    and supports transactions natively. My experience with mysql (without jdo - I haven't tried it with)
    is good, but there were little things missing in mysql 3.x, e.g. the ability do do a join in a
    DELETE statement.
    BTW, there are some severe problems somewhere in the 2.2.4 release with postgresql if you intend to
    eventually deploy on it. It also apparently has some problems invoking postgresql's indices, making
    it a little less than optimal. But as a learning environment, it's what I'd recommend.

    Here is the rundown of the databases I have experience with:
    MySQL: Fairly simple to install (especially if you run Debian Linux), but
    configuration, especially adding users, can be a pain. A separate open
    source project called "mysql-navigator" makes it fairly easy to do
    simple queries, inserts, etc. In most of my tests it outperforms
    PostgreSQL, but your mileage will vary. It has a sane CLI that supports
    modern features like line history, etc (unlike the horrific SQLPlus).
    PostgreSQL: People often say that it is a more "academically
    correct" database than MySQL. I've also found it to be quite a bit
    easier to set up. Their GUI (called "pgaccess") is simplistic, but does
    most things you need. Has a CLI similiar to MySQL's.
    HypersonicSQL: By far the easiest to set up (just drop the jar in your
    CLASSPATH), but is java only, can be rather slow, and has no GUI tools
    available that I know of (except various free vanilla-JDBC GUI tools).
    We feel that Kodo works quite well with all these DBs. The MySQL JDBC
    driver seems a bit less buggy than Postgres', but their transaction
    support is very recent and not very well tested. If I had to pick one or
    the other, I would probably go with MySQL.

  • What is the use and functionality of a message type

    Hi,
    I am new to abap. Can anybody tell me what is the use of the message type? What is it used for?
    There is an interface which is using an extended idoc type ZFIDCCP02 (Basic Type FIDCCP02). This extended idoc type is used for other interfaces and the interface in question. However the other interfaces are using the standard message type FIDCC2, but the interface in question is using a customized message type.
    Any idea what could be the reason?
    Thanks in advance.
    Mick

    Hi Mick,
    Message type tells the about the actual meaning of Idoc..
    later if you want to send data to external system the idoc type or extension type is not used..
    the message type is used for rest of the process..
    Idoc type is know as structure..

  • What is the use of change pointer concept in ale?

    what is the use of change pointer concept in ale?
    Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

    ALE Architecture:
    It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception – Handling process.
    Outbound Process:
    ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
    1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
    2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
    3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
    4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
    Inbound Process:
    The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
    1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
    2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
    3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
    Over view of IDocs:
    IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
    IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDoc’s definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
    IDoc Types:
    IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
    An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
    i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
    ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
    iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
    Message in IDoc Type:
    A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
    Outbound Process in IDocs:
    Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
    The Customer Model:
    A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
    Message control:
    Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
    Change Pointers:
    The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
    Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
    IDoc Structure:
    A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
    Selection Program:
    Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection program’s design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
    Filter Objects;
    Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
    Port Definition:
    A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
    RFC Destination:
    The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
    Partner Profile:
    A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDoc’s packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
    Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
    The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
    Creation of IDoc:
    Basic Type:
    Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Segments:
    Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
    Steps in creating Segments:
    T.Code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
    Type the Short text.
    Enter the variable names and data elements.
    Save and Go back.
    Go to Edit -> Set Release.
    Repeat the steps to create more segments.
    IDOC TYPE:
    Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
    IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
    Steps in creating IDoc Type:
    T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
    Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
    Save it and go back.
    Go to Edit -> Set Release.
    Message Type:
    Steps in Creating Message Type:
    T.Code WE81.
    change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
    Fill details
    Save it and go back.
    Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
    T.Code WE82
    Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
    After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
    Fill details
    Save it and go back.

  • What is the use of guid in CRM?

    Hi ,
    what is the use of guid in crm.
    there is nothing like this in r/3.if the data is to flow in from r/3 to crm or crm - r/3 is do we verify the guid.partner guid or product guid.
    please make me understand this.
    thank you,
    hun

    GUIDs are system generated unique keys which identifies CRM objects (campaigns, sales documents, business partners, products etc.). CRM & MSA works on GUIDs. Most of the table relationships are defined on GUIDs.
    Important CRM tables:
    COMM_PRODUCT : Products
    CRMC_T077D : customer account groups
    CRMD_ORDERADM_H (for header) CRMD_ORDERADM_I (Item data)
    CRMD_ORDERADM_H Business Transactions CRM
    CRMD_ACTIVITY_H Activity
    CRMD_OPPORT_H Opportunity
    BUTOO : Customer details
    BUT001 BP: General data II
    BUT100 BP: Roles
    BUT150 BP relationship: Attribute table (test
    different
    BUT_HIER_TREE Business Partner Group Hierarchy
    CDBC_T_PRODUCTID Mapping: Product Id
    CDBD_ORGMAN Business transaction - organizational unit -
    set
    COMC_PRODUCT General Product Settings
    COMC_R3_FIELDS Assignment of R/3 material master fields to
    CFOP
    COMM_CATEGORY Category
    COMM_CFGMAT Basic Data for Materials
    COMM_HIERARCHY Category Hierarchy
    COMP_TYPES Hierarchy Tool: Comparison Type Check
    Table
    CRMC_CPRICPROC Customer Pricing Procedures
    SMOKVBEZ15 Assignment employees to positions
    All transactions are uniquely identified by their guids internally
    Transaction numbers are not unique
    System calls a function module GUID_CREATE to create a unique GUID everytime you create a transaction.
    Whenever you are creating some transaction programatically you will have to first create a unique GUID for the transaction by calling GUID_CREATE.

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
    Regards,
