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. |
| A_Asset_Group_ID | Yes | VARCHAR (32) | The group of assets determines default accounts. If an asset group is selected in the product category, assets are created when delivering the asset. |
| 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. |
| IsDefault | No | CHAR (1) | The Default Checkbox indicates if this record will be used as a default value. |
| Description | Yes | NVARCHAR (255) | A description is limited to 255 characters. |
| AD_Image_ID | Yes | VARCHAR (32) | Defines a system image |
| 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. |
| PlannedMargin | No | DECIMAL | The Planned Margin Percentage indicates the anticipated margin percentage for this project or project line |
| M_Product_Category_ID | No | VARCHAR (32) | Identifies the category which this product belongs to. Product categories are used for pricing. |
| Value | No | NVARCHAR (40) | A search key allows for a fast method of finding a particular record. If you leave the search key empty, the system automatically creates a numeric number originating from a document sequence defined in the "Document Sequence" window. The sequence naming convention follows a rule "DocumentNo_TableName", where TableName is the actual name of the database table (e.g. C_Order).
Usually, company's internal identifiers for various records (products, customers, etc) are stored here. |
| Issummary | No | CHAR (1) | A summary entity represents a branch in a tree rather than an end-node. Summary entities are used for reporting and do not have own values. |
| 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. |
