Object Overview (SAP Library - Process Orders (PP-PI-POR))

Object Overview

Use

The object overview displays the objects selected from the process orders in hierarchical form. This makes it easy to see the relationship between the individual objects (for example component allocated to an operation or confirmation allocated to an order header).

The following functions allow you to structure the information in a way which best suits your requirements:

Suppressing irrelevant orders

You have, for example, chosen all process orders that belong to a particular sales order. Two of these are of particular interest. You can hide the remaining orders so that you can concentrate on the relevant orders.

Suppressing irrelevant objects

You have, for example, chosen all process orders to which a certain component is allocated. In this case, you may want to hide the object "operation" as it is of no interest to you. This can be specified in the transaction, or in the overall profile.

Compressing selected objects

You have, for example, selected phases, and now only want to process the operations. You therefore compress the object "sub-operations". This can be specified in the transaction, or in the overall profile.

Whereas suppressing irrelevant objects can be used for hierarchically superior objects (for example suppressing sequences when displaying operations), compressing objects is useful for hierarchically subordinate objects (for ex. compressing phases when displaying operations).

Displaying fields/changing the field sequence

You have, for example, selected "operations". You either want to display the field "confirmed time", or you want to put it at the beginning of the line rather than at the end. You change the displayed fields or the sequence of the field display via the field selection for object "operations". This can be specified in the transaction, or in the overall profile.

Refreshing the List

You can branch into any number of process orders within the list and carry out business transactions, (such as order/operation releases, availability checks, etc.).

If you then want to refresh the list to reflect the changes that you made, you have two options:

Complete refresh: A complete refresh will update all process orders in the list.

Partial refresh: If you have only changed a small number of orders in the list, you may only want to refresh the orders that have changed, as this would reduce the system load (To carry out a partial refresh, you first need to mark the relevant objects).
