Since the Product Structure Browser is a tool which can display a large number of different objects in the SAP System, you should define your own display filters for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service to help improve performance.
Start the Product Structure Browser by choosing
. Choose the
Filters
icon.
All the existing filters are displayed.
To define a new user-specific filter, choose the
Create filter
icon.
Enter a filter name and description. Choose
Continue
, whereupon a display of all the objects appears.
Deactivate all the objects which you do not require in your filter display. Equipment, functional locations, materials and bills of material are generally sufficient for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.
Save your data. The new filter is now activated automatically.
Note
Note that a filter defined in this way is user-specific. If you want to define a filter that can be used generally, you must define it in the Customizing for
Logistics - General
.
You have defined a filter which you can select when you call up the Product Structure Browser. To do this, choose the
Filters
icon and activate the required filter. Which filter is active is displayed on the initial screen for the Product Structure Browser. You can change the filter at any time.
