Use

You use this procedure to determine specifications that contain the specifications selected in the hit list as components in compositions or listings.

You can decide whether you want to determine specifications that contain the selected specifications as direct only or as direct andindirect components. A specification A is an indirect component of a specification B if the composition or listing of specification B contains specification A only as a component of a composition or listing contained in it. It makes no difference whether specification A is present in the contained composition or listing as a direct or indirect component, meaning that when searching for indirect components, the system searches the contained compositions and listings right down to the deepest level.

Prerequisites

You have run a specification search or loaded a set of hits and are on the hit list screen.

Procedure

In the hit list, select the specifications for which you want to determine specifications that contain the selected specifications as components in compositions or listings. If you do not select anything, the system determines the corresponding specifications for the first specification in the hit list.

A new set of specifications appears in the form of a hit list. Choose with the quick info text Reset Selection to return to the original hit list.

If you have defined a number of where-used lists in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools , the system takes into account in the search all where-used lists for which you have specified parameters. If you have entered parameters for a number of where-used lists, you can specify whether the where-used lists are linked with logic AND or OR in the search, that is whether the specifications found must fulfill all or at least one of the where-used lists specified.
