| DisplayName         | Specify a human-readable name for your subaccount and change it later on, if necessary. This way you can distinguish between multiple subaccounts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Description         | (Optional) Specify a short descriptive text about the subac- count.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Parent              | Change the parent of your subaccount. When you create a subaccount, this is added as a direct child of the global account you created it in. You can change your subaccount's parent and add it to a directory, move it from one directory to another, or remove from a directory by making the global account its parent once again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Used for production | (Optional) Select this option if your subaccount is being used for production purposes. This does not change the configuration of your subaccount. Use this flag for your internal use to operate your produc- tion subaccounts in your global account and systems more efficiently. Your cloud operator may also use this flag to take appropriate action when handling incidents related to mission-critical accounts in production systems. Since sub- accounts that are marked as used for production cannot be force deleted, this option also prevents an accidental forced deletion of the account. Do not select this option if your account is used for non-pro- duction purposes, such as development, testing, and demos. |
| Field                | Details                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Labels               | (Optional) Assign, change, or remove labels from your sub- account. Labels help to make organizing and filtering your subaccounts easier. For more information, see Labels [page 115].                                                           |
|                      |  Tip • When adding multiple values to a label, press Enter after each value. • When you start typing, any matching label names and values that are already assigned to other sub- accounts in your global account are offered as sug- gestions. |
| Enable beta features | (Optional) Enable the subaccount to use services and appli- cations which are occasionally made available by SAP for beta usage on SAP BTP. This option is available to adminis- trators only and is, by default, unselected.                    |
|                      |  Caution You shouldn't use SAP BTP beta features in subac- counts that belong to productive enterprise accounts. For more information, see Important Disclaimers and Legal Information.                                                         |
|                      |  Note Once you have enabled this setting in a subaccount you cannot disable it.                                                                                                                                                                 |
|                      |  Note If you enable this setting in a subaccount that is already consuming services and subscriptions, these consumed resources will not be automatically updated to beta ver- sions if they exist.                                             |
