SAP delivers a number of listing procedures intended to simplify Customizing, which is otherwise rather complicated. The basic listing procedures are:

• B1: Merchandise category/assortment grade check

• B2: Classification check

• B3: Layout check

In addition, for each procedure you can specify whether the system should perform a sales price check (that is, whether or not a sales price exists for the article within a specific site or distribution channel). You can also specify whether the procedures stop when the first error is found, or whether the procedures run to completion and all errors are reported afterward.

These basic listing procedures can be combined; that is, they can be executed one after the other. Using logical operator "AND" to combine two procedures results in progressively fewer matches as each procedure runs (that is, the assortments found must match all criteria). Logical operator "OR" results in a list of all assortments that match the criteria for either of the procedures.

SAP has predefined the following combinations:

• 01: Complete check including layout check. This is a combination of listing procedures B1, B2 and B3 plus sales price check.
• 08: Complete check except layout check. This is a combination of listing procedures B1 and B2 only.

However, you can define additional combinations if you wish.
