If the document is linked to other R/3 objects (for example, material master records), you can shorten the document hit list considerably by entering the keys of the linked object master records.

1. Choose Document ® Find.

You see the Find Document: Selection criteria.

2. Select the tab page Object links.

Another tab page appears that contains a tab page for each R/3 object type.



A tab page is not displayed for each R/3 object type. This restriction is set with the entry of document data on the tab page Document data. If you have restricted the search for one or several document types the system only reports the R/3 object types that were chosen in Customizing of the document types.

3. Enter the key fields for the objects on each tab page.



The object type (for example, Material) is located on the tab page. As soon as you have entered an object for the document search the system adds the icon (Links exist) to the text for the object type.

This link is an AND-link. The system only reports documents that are linked to all of the listed objects.



You can enter several individual objects (for example, material masters TUBING-01 and TUBING-02) for each R/3 object (for example, material). You can also enter other R/3 objects (for example, Equipment E-1).
The system only reports documents that are linked to both materials AND with the equipment.

The object links remain even when you repeat a search. You can recognize object data on the superior tab page Object links. The title Object links are indicated by the character (*).

4. Confirm your entries. Choose another tab page or start the find function with Execute.
