Define Project View for Information System (SAP Library

Define Project View for Information System

You can enter a structure for the data selected from the database. The information system then displays the data according to this structure.

The hierarchy type in the detail screen determines the view:

View	Hierarchy type
Project structure		1
Profit Center		2
Cost centers		3
Classificaition		4
Capital-inv.prog.		5
Sales & dist.		6
Customer-specific		99

The presentation of the data according to hierarchy category 7 is basically the same as that of hierarchy category 4. Hoewever objects below a summarization node in a list are displayed without hierarchy information. This results in much better performance.

Notes

The project view no longer selects data from the database, but merely determines how the data is displayed in the information system.

Standard Settings

The standard system contains the following project views:

project structure

Profit Center

cost centers

characteristic hierarchy from classification

capital-investment programs

sales and distribution
