Understanding Destination Columns That Are Check Boxes

Most destination columns are fields in the F0006 or F5201 tables, but some are check boxes. For example, the destination column for ADJENT (Adjustment Entry) in the F0006 is a check box. Columns that are check boxes function differently than columns that are fields.

Unlike a field, a check box value cannot be blank. The value is either 1 (the check box is selected in the entry program) or 0 (the check box is not selected in the entry program). So a check box that is unchecked has a value of 0, and not blank.

In update mode, the system overwrites a destination column value with the check box value from the value relationship only if the Enforce Rule flag is activated for the column relationship. In add mode, the system updates the check box with the value from value relationships, regardless of the Enforce Rule flag.
