full time dependency - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Full time dependency is a feature of the AP-MD Master Data component in SAP. It allows users to define a relationship between two objects, such as a material and a plant, where one object is dependent on the other. This means that when the master data of one object is changed, the other object will automatically be updated as well. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use full time dependency, users must first define the relationship between two objects in the system. This can be done by selecting the “Full Time Dependency” option in the master data settings. Once this is done, any changes made to one object will automatically be reflected in the other object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using full time dependency, it is important to remember that any changes made to one object will be reflected in the other object. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all changes are correct before saving them. Additionally, it is important to remember that full time dependency can only be used between two objects and cannot be used for multiple objects at once.
