Linking fields
You can determine per business object which fields should be available for a specific function profile.
Procedure
1. On the BO Rights level, select a business object from the element list for which you want to specify the fields that should be available.
2. On the action menu, click Fields.
The Fields dialog box appears. This dialog box allows you to select the fields you want to make available to the business object.
3. Use the arrow buttons to move items from the Available list to the In use list, or vice versa .
The Available list displays the data fields that are available for use with the selected business object. The In Use list displays the data fields that are to be included in the function profile. These data fields will then be available to the user group to which the function profile is linked. Use the arrow buttons to add or remove fields.
 | When adding or removing data fields, you should always consider the following: • When adding a reference data field, such as Person, it is advised to define at least read permissions on the principal fields such as Code and Name of the referenced business object as well. • Not adding these fields to the function profile can result in missing fields and columns in the quick search feature of the relevant dialog box and it can also cause the tree within the dialog box to have an irregular appearance. • Some data fields should not be removed from the function profile. These include fields indicating a hierarchy, such as the ParentOrderGroupRef field in the Order Group business object. If the ParentOrderGroupRef field is not included in the function profile, the tree view will display the objects without any hierarchy. |
4. Click OK. The selected fields are linked to the function profile.
