Understanding Localizations Additional Information for Italy

Localizations Additional Information is a tag-table methodology that captures and stores country-specific information. The system uses this information for different purposes.

Before you can start working with Localizations Additional Information, you must run the Additional Info Setup program (R7000100) to generate the required tables that store the additional data.

This setup also generates the forms where you enter the pre-defined information that is saved to the Localizations Additional Fields tables.

The system launches the Localizations Additional Information forms from the Regional Info row menu option from the specific programs that require additional data when your user profile country preference is set to IT (Italy).

When you run the Additional Information Setup program, the system also generates all the additional fields required in the appropriate Regional Info forms. The forms for Localizations Additional Information, group the pre-defined data fields into the following tabs, according to the type of data that you enter:

  • String Data: The information that you enter in the pre-defined fields listed in this tab is a set of alpha-numeric characters.

  • Numeric Data: The information that you enter in the pre-defined fields listed in this tab is a set of numeric characters.

  • Date: The information that you enter in the pre-defined fields listed in this tab are dates.

  • Character: The information that you enter in the pre-defined fields listed in this tab are single characters.

For Italy, the tables that the Additional Info Setup program (R7000100) generates to work with additional information are:

  • Base Object / Tag Table Definition (F7000120)

  • Header Localization Additional Data (F7000100)

  • Detail Localization Additional Data (F7000110)

  • Localizations Additional Fields AB - 01 (F7001100)

  • Localizations Additional Fields Tax Area - 04 (F704008)

Every time you run the Additional Information Setup program, the system regenerates the tables required to work with the solution. You do not need to run this program multiple times but if you do, the existing data that you entered and that is saved in the Additional Information tables, is not affected.
