Abstract

Data structures used to store data in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system may be configured and custom-generated in a configuration mode of the ERP system where a subset of selectable data fields may be selected to avoid allocating space and resources to unused data fields. The data structures may then be generated in the configuration mode to eliminate the unused data fields at runtime. This in turn saves space and resources that would otherwise be allocated but not used. In ERP systems substantial space and computing resources may be saved by only allocating space and resources to only those resources that a specific customer intends to use.
