M_Characteristic
- Name:M_Characteristic
- Classname:Characteristic
This table contains the following columns:
| Name | Nullable | Data Type | Description
|
| Isactive | No | CHAR (1) | There are two methods of making records unavailable in the system: One is to delete the record, the other is to de-activate the record. A de-activated record is not available for selection, but available for reporting. There are two reasons for de-activating and not deleting records:
(1) The system requires the record for auditing purposes. (2) The record is referenced by other records. E.g., you cannot delete a Business Partner, if there are existing invoices for it. By de-activating the Business Partner you prevent it from being used in future transactions. |
| M_Characteristic_ID | No | VARCHAR (32) | Definition of a Product Characteristic |
| AD_Client_ID | No | VARCHAR (32) | A Client is a company or a legal entity. You cannot share data between Clients. |
| Createdby | No | VARCHAR (32) | The Created By field indicates the user who created this record. |
| Created | No | TIMESTAMP (7) | The Created field indicates the date that this record was created. |
| Description | Yes | NVARCHAR (2000) | A description is limited to 255 characters. |
| IsExplodeConf | No | CHAR (1) | Determines if the values of the characteristic needs to be automatically inserted in the Configuration tab when the characteristic is added to a Generic product as a Variant. |
| M_Characteristic_Type | Yes | VARCHAR (60) | It allows the possibility to define types of product characteristics that might be interesting for a concrete business. For example, in restaurants a product characteristic type might be defined as "Allergens". This definition might allow to develop advanced features.
By default the type is empty (null), which means the product characteristic doesn't belong to a concrete type. |
| Name | No | NVARCHAR (60) | A more descriptive identifier (that does need to be unique) of a record/document that is used as a default search option along with the search key (that is unique and mostly shorter). It is up to 60 characters in length. |
| AD_Org_ID | No | VARCHAR (32) | An organization is a unit of your client or legal entity - examples are store, department. You can share data between organizations. |
| Relevant_Characteristic | Yes | VARCHAR (60) | The relevant characteristic linked to the characteristic. A relevant characteristic is linked to one and only one characteristic whose values will be displayed in those property fields pointing to the relevant characteristic. |
| AD_Tree_ID | No | VARCHAR (32) | The Tree field identifies a unique Tree in the system. Trees define roll ups or summary levels of information. They are used in reports for defining report points and summarization levels. |
| Updated | No | TIMESTAMP (7) | The Updated field indicates the date that this record was updated. |
| Updatedby | No | VARCHAR (32) | The Updated By field indicates the user who updated this record. |
| Isvariant | No | CHAR (1) |
