Relationship identification
The relationships between basic object types are defined in the SAP Standard System and should not be changed. Each standard relationship has a three-digit code and standard syntax is A/B 000.
You can define your own relationships. The range AAA to ZZZ is reserved for relationships created by the customer.
Relationships are reciprocal. If a job describes a position, then the position, in turn, will be described by the job. These relationships are distinguished by the identification A or B. It is therefore, only necessary to create a relationship in one direction. The inverse relationship will automatically be created by the system.
A relationship may also be one-sided. Relationships to objects of an external object type (cost center in Controlling, for example), are one-sided, that is, they only go in one direction.
