Objective
If an organization needs to capture more complex data than a standard field allows, they can create a custom field called a Segmented Object Detail (SOD).
The Segmented Object Detail admin object can be used to capture multiple rows of data on custom fields, cost center attributes, or complex accounting strings. This functionality allows for a detailed mapping of data requirements so that the string of values entered can follow more complex logic.
| 1 | To view a list of Segmented object picklists associated to WorkingNet’s tenant, select Segmented Object Detail from the Configuration section of the admin menu. |
SAP Fieldglass supports three possible uses of Segmented Object Details, as indicated in the Type column illustrated here: Grid, Cost Center Attribute, and Cost Center Allocation. The two cost center SODs, however, must be specially enabled in the company configuration.
| 2 | Type indicates what the SOD is used for. |
| 3 | Module indicates the module to which the SOD will be assigned. |
| 4 | Document Type indicates the type of document on which to include the SOD. If an organization uses SOD as an Attribute and has enabled more than one option, you must select one. Otherwise, the field will be selected and locked by default based on the options the organization uses. |
| 5 | Number of Segments indicates the number of segments to be included in the SOD. |
| 6 | To view the details of a segmented object detail, select the appropriate link in the Name column. |
In addition to the standard details, a segmented object detail’s details page will indicate the segments that have been added to the SOD.
| 7 | If a pick list is used in a segment, a link to that pick list will also be displayed in the Pick List column. |
