Function documentation Characteristic Groups Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can define characteristic groups for use in presentation in the Executive Information System. These let you call up a specific group of characteristics when you create a report.

When you define a report without entering a characteristic group, the system offers you all the characteristics of the aspect to choose from. If you enter a characteristic group, however, the system offers only those characteristics assigned to that group.

A typical way to use this function might be to group together all the region- and customer-related characteristics which the sales director might use when he or she calls up a report. For production management, you might define a second characteristic group which contains characteristics relevant to the product or profit center.

The characteristic groups are set up in Customizing.

Activities

You can define a specific characteristic group in your user parameters using parameter ID MKG; use System ® User defaults ® Own data. This lets you limit the choice of characteristics for individual users.

You can find general information on drilldown reporting, and also the appropriate procedures in cross-application online documentation Structure link CA - Drilldown Reporting.
