Sandhya,

Reasons for this:

- Both non qualifiers are display fields

- The way we maintain the qualified records

- for example : Country and Company Code are defined as non qualifiers while maintaining the qualified table records we should use the combination of the above non-qualifiers to update the qulaifier fields.

please feel free to revert to us with some example if you are still not clear.

thanks,

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply.

i need a small clarification about the same. as per my understanding the NON QUALIFIERS are text fields so how do they effect the value in the qualified fields? or should the NON Qualifiers be lookup fileds (in your example company code and Plant)

Case 1 - if the Non qualifiers are of type lookup:

Then based on the combination of the qualifiers how can we define the valid values in the qualifier fields

Eg: if company code is 2000 (where company code is Non qualifiers of type lookup) then the available dropdown value for plant field should only be P001 and P002 (Whare plant field is qualifier)

Case 2: If the Non qualifiers are of type lookup :

Then how does the value in the Non qualifier decide the available values in the Qualifiers.

Please help me understand the above two scenerios
