Features

Calling the DRB

You have the following options for calling up the DRB using purchase orders:

· The Archive Information System (for archived documents)

· The role SAP_DRB

· Transaction ALO1

· Program RASHMM12

In addition to being able to execute program RASHMM12 manually, you can do this in the role Document Relationship Browser (SAP_DRB) by choosing the menu path Logistics ® Materials Management ® Purchase Order. The program generates a list from which you can access the DRB by double-click.

By calling up the DRB via the role SAP_DRB or by manually calling the program RASHMM12, you can select documents via the following fields; however, you can do so only if these fields are part of the archive information structure used. In addition to the selection field names, the table contains the corresponding field names in the field catalog SAP_MM_EKKO_001.

Selection Via	001
Purchasing document	EBELN
Vendor	LIFNR
Purchasing group	EKGRP

In addition to these are the selection buttons Search in database, Search in database and SAP AS and Search DB, SAP AS, and archive, which you can use to determine the data source for the display in the DRB. You can find additional information on this under DRB Initial Programs.

When you display archived purchase orders via the Archive Information System you can branch directly to the DRB via the option DRB: Purchase Orders offered in the selection screen Display Data Object.
