Displaying Dependencies using Context Menus (SAP Library

Displaying Dependencies using Context Menus

Use

In the standard SAP S ystem all dependencies of an object are displayed as nodes in the tree structure. If document links and BOMs exist to a document then relation nodes are in the tree structure for documents and BOMs.

You can make the settings for the new display view so that the dependencies to be displayed can only be chosen from context menus.

Prerequisites

You are in the Product Structure Browser. Initial Screen.

See: Product Structure Browser

Activating the Context Menu

(Settings).

The Product structure dialog box appears. Settings.

Choose Continue.

Displaying Dependencies using Context Menus

Start the explosion of the product structure.

On the Product structure screen: <Date of effectivity> only the object node of the initial object is displayed (for example, material).
The relationships to other objects are no longer displayed directly on the nodes in the tree structure. Because of this the text lines that described the relationship type (for example, document) no longer appear.

You can only see the relationships of an object to other objects after calling the context menu.

Position the cursor on the icon of the object t, for example, material.
Depress the right mouse button to call up the context menu.

The entry Dependencies appears when dependencies exist from one object to other objects.

Display the relationships by expanding the entry Relationships.

The objects are listed that have a relationship to the initial object in the relationship path (such as documents).
In the screen section Product structure the column Relationships appears. The display variant is set up so that the relationship type is in the first lost column.
