A collective entry can be realized on a group node of the specification.

In the fast data entry, all subordinate specifications are displayed in one line each. Depending on the Customizing setting, elements from the specification and their positions are displayed and can also be changed. Depending on the object type used, updating the specifications takes place automatically or manually via the SYNC button. 

The basis for the entry is the provision of an object type, which is intended for the fast data entry (see fast entry screen FDM (H)). All column details are defined for the object type. For the use in the group specification, further settings are necessary.

To call QPPD customizing, the transaction /n/SCT/QP_CUST must first be called.

Alternatively, the transaction /SCT/QP_CUST can be stored in the favorites.

1. Creating a group specification

The field: System "VART" must be set.

2. Assignment of object types fast data entry screen  

The fields: Object Types, Element Groups, Vertical Element Groups, Column Groups, Generation Classes, and Technical Objects must be created and maintained in Customizing before they are used.

3. Linking the group specification type with the actual specification type 

In the example, the link to the group specification type is created for the DEMO_SAMPLER specification type.

4. Mapping of Fast Data Entry FDM_DIRECT (optional) 

A more differentiated mapping can be specified for complex types of specifications (non-unique use of elements or many types of specifications). 
The settings are made via synchronization.

Synchronization model

The name of the synchronization model must be identical to the name of the object type of the fast data entry screen.

Synchronization objects 

The members refer to filtering of specification type via VTYP, HIERA, and object type fields.

Mapping

Individual elements can be assigned to specific specification types, hierarchy levels, and object types. The specification type is not taken into account.

5. Mapping of Fast Data Entry FDM_ART (obligatory) 

With the FDM_ART object type, the comparison between fast data entry and the individual specifications is carried out entirely via synchronization. Several synchronization models can be maintained.
