Component Name and System Landscape

Brief Description

This program creates an asset master record. A company code and asset class are required.

Parameter Mapping – Generic Tabs

There are several tabs under this section. Some will be generic, and others are specific to the component.

The generic tabs usually are:

  • Target: Requires SAP and Client information. You can also hard code the SAP user name.
  • Infrastructure: Used for Action rules. See Action Rules.
  • Recipient parameters: Generally left to default values.

Most of the time these tabs will be shown, but there are components where these differ and either do not appear at all, or they are specific tabs.
