| In the COM Parameters (tccom5000m000) session, the following parameters are important regarding system performance: Usage Distance Tables If you do not base delivery dates on distances tables, to increase performance, in the Usage Distance Tables field select No. Check Project Code in Item Code. An item code in ERP LN can consist of a project segment and an item segment. If no PCS orTP project is present for an item, which means the item is neither customized (PCS) nor allocated (TP), the project segment of the item code is empty. ERP LN then considers the item code as consisting of nine spaces, followed by the name in the item segment. However, external applications usually do not recognize an item code consisting of a project segment and an item segment, or an item code preceded by nine spaces. Therefore, the project segment of an item code transferred from ERP LN to an external application is not recognized as such by the external application, and becomes part of the item name. To avoid defining item codes in ERP LN that are conflicting in external applications, select the Check Project Code in Item Code check box . If this check box is selected, and you add a new item code or project code, ERP LN performs checks: If you define an item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, the first nine characters of the item name should not equal an existing project code in ERP LN. If you define a project code in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) details session, the code should not equal the first characters of an existing item code in ERP LN. Selecting this check box makes software performance significantly worse. Instead, you can clear this check box and use the Print Items where a Project Code is part of the Item Code (tcibd0401m100) session to check whether a range of existing item codes or project codes will produce conflicts for external applications.
