Hi guys,
I have tried searching SCN for an answer, but couldn't find much.
I would like to know if there are real advantages/disadvantages in using prefixes in BRF+ object names, for example:
DTB_some_name for a Decision Table
RUL_some_name for a Rule
RST_some_name for a Ruleset
FRM_some_name for a Formula and so on.
Thanks in advance 🙂
Good question. Not a big fan myself, but some projects are obsessed with naming conventions so I use them when it makes client happy. People like structure, even when it's redundant. 🙂
Personally I don't see the point, I can't think of any scenario where you could mistakenly use a ruleset instead of a formula. I'm not ever going to search for a decision tree by putting DTR* in the name field based on the assumption that everyone used that prefix. No, I'm going to search by expression type = decision tree.
Everything has icons, and is organised by type in the object tree, so it's easy to distinguish.
Arbitrary naming conventions are more often than not inconsistently followed, and then you get the issue that standard SAP is guaranteed to use different names, so what's the point?
Rather use the limited space to provide a more descriptive name instead of wasting 4 valuable characters, e.g. routing_per_ord_type_and_cntry.
