German term or phrase: Objektkennzeichen
***Objektkennzeichen*** anlegen

Innerhalb des Spaltenaufbaus einer Tabelle können Sie ein kombiniertes Feld definieren. Dieses Feld dient als eindeutige Bezeichnung eines Datensatzes. Die Bezeichnung kann auch Zeichen wie / oder _ enthalten.

Setzen Sie hierfür ein Häkchen vor "***Objektkennzeichen***". Es erscheint die Schaltfläche "Text einfügen", mit der Sie ein eigenes Textfeld ausfüllen können. Sie können nun beispielsweise ein Attribut hinzufügen, danach mithilfe von "Text einfügen" ein selbst gewähltes Trennzeichen wie / oder _ und anschließend ein zweites Attribut usw., sodass ein zusammengesetztes ***Objektkennzeichen*** entsteht (z.B. Name_Typ_Nummer).

Object indicator (SAP), object reference
Explanation:
SAP is rather a language of its own. In SAP this is an object indicator: http://www.saperrorcodes.com/dictionary/O/Objektkennzeichen....
https://www.google.com/search?q=SAP "object indicator"&ie=ut...

If you're not on a SAP translation, I would just use object reference: ... to create a composite **object reference** (e.g. Name_Type_Number)

object identifier


Explanation:
As said in the description: Dieses Feld dient als eindeutige Bezeichnung eines Datensatzes.
So it wouldn't be an indicator but rather an identifier.

If you google SAP and object indicator, you will receive about 1.600 hits, SAP and object identifier hits about 74.000 hits. I reckon that die "indicator" bit results from rather sloppy translation in earlier days of SAP.
