what is "Set the compare flag for dialog"?

I added a non-key field to an existing table and when I clicked on table maintenance generator, I am getting this message "Set the compare flag for dialog ZTABLE".

Where to set this?

When goto Table Maintenance Generator,

check the last field which is compare Flag

This flag indicates whether the maintenance transaction allows the (checked) activation of Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets), and the adjustment. This is the case if the maintenance transaction can run in the background.

For more information, see the Application Help for the table maintenance generator (transaction SE54).

The following settings exist:

No Information

The system does not know whether the maintenance transaction allows BC Set activation and adjustment.

As with the setting "Not Adjustable", the content of the BC Sets is written to the Customizing tables without being checked.

Not Adjustable

The BC Sets cannot be activated and checked. The maintenance transaction does not support the adjustment.

The content of the BC Sets is written to the Customizing tables without being checked.

Instead of an adjustment, you can only compare the views or tables with another client or system. Any modifications that arise from an adjustment must be made manually.

Adjustable in Dialog

As with the setting "Not Adjustable", the content of the BC Sets is written to the Customizing tables without being checked.

An automatic adjustment is not possible, however, you can compare the views or tables with another client or system, and adjust the differences (either all of them or a selection) with the dialog adjustment function.

Automatically Adjustable

BC Sets are activated with all field checks.

The object can be adjusted automatically against another client as part of a Customizing import. This means that the data with differences can be imported from the comparison client. As well as the automatic adjustment option, the maintenance transaction also offers the dialog adjustment function.
