In a company there are always situations where different master data of a large number of objects have to be maintained. When using the standard maintenance functions, this is very time-consuming, since each object must be called and maintained individually. ProMassMaintain is a tool which offers the data of many objects and if necessary sub-objects / views of these simultaneously in a compact and clear form for revision.
Such a mass maintenance takes place in ProMassMaintain in a so-called mass maintenance task. The mass maintenance tasks are created by the users and a maintenance type is always assigned. This maintenance type controls which objects and sub-objects/views are supported and which fields and/or characteristics can be displayed or maintained. Details are given in the following sections.
