| Object Masks |  |
| Object masks enable you to automatically generate unique object identifiers and with a constant format. The ERP administrator sets the object mask configurations to generate identifiers in the format the organization uses. You can only set up masks for particular objects, and you can set up multiple mask configurations for some objects. For the objects for which you can set up multiple mask configurations, you must set up at least one mask configuration. If a user creates a new object, and no mask configuration is defined, the first default mask configuration is used. For example, you can set up different mask configurations to generate document IDs for different document types. You must set up an object mask for some object, and, for others, a default mask is included in the initial system data when the system is installed. The ERP administrator can specify a default mask if none is supplied or change an existing default mask. Related topics Defining Object Masks Mandatory and Optional ODM Object Masks |
