Procedure documentation Entering a Display Parameter Variant  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this procedure if you want to filter change statuses, displayed on an overview in the Engineering Workbench, for parameter effectivity.

Prerequisites

You are on an overview in the Engineering Workbench.

Procedure

  1. Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in the validity window.

    2. The Assign Effectivity Parameter Values dialog box appears. The table displays all values, which may currently be assigned to the effectivity parameters. For example, the DATE effectivity parameter is assigned the valid-from date shown in the validity window.

  2. Assign values to the effectivity parameters in the table. You cannot assign a value to the DATE effectivity parameter, because this value is assigned by the system automatically.

Note

Instead of assigning values manually, you can also simply enter a standard variant in the Standard variant field and press <ENTER>. The effectivity parameters are then automatically assigned the values in the standard variant.

For more information on standard variants, see the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) documentation under Maintaining Standard Variants.
  1. In the Release status screen section, define which release status a change status has to have in order to be displayed in the Engineering Workbench.

    2. For example, if you deselect the Released for simulation checkbox, all change statuses with this release status will be hidden in the Engineering Workbench. For more information, see the documentation for the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component.

  2. Proceed as follows if you want a display parameter variant to be overridden for certain change statuses:
  1. Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

    2. The Override Variant with Change Numbers dialog box appears.

  2. Enter the change numbers, define for each change number, whether the system should count it as valid or invalid and click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

You return to the Assign Effectivity Parameter Values dialog box.

You can find further information on overriding display parameter variants in the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) documentation in Overriding Validity with Change Numbers.

  1. Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Result

You return to the overview in the Engineering Workbench from which you came. The This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon shows by its color, that you have entered a display parameter variant. The validity window is now the key date, which is assigned to the DATE effectivity parameter. All change statuses that do not fulfill the display parameter variant, are hidden.
