Service Specifications Outline
Use
A set of service specifications can consist of any number of service lines. To make voluminous specifications easier to handle, you can structure them hierarchically using the outline function. The outline is comparable to the table of contents of a book.
Prerequisites
The service specifications outline can only be created on the full service screen.
Note
You can access the full service screen from within a purchase order or a service entry sheet by clicking on
.
From within the other purchasing documents (requisition, quotation, global percentage bid, RFQ, contract), you access the full service screen by clicking on
.
Features
The uppermost level of the specifications always shows the short text for the document item. You can create the outline below this. A maximum of four hierarchy levels is possible.
Outline levels are used to develop the hierarchy. You can change the number, the short text, and the long text of the outline levels at any time. You can assign any number of service lines to each outline level.
Displaying the Service Specifications Outline
On the full service screen, you can show and hide the outline by clicking on
