User-Specific Configuration of the Lists (SAP Library - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP))

User-Specific Configuration of the Lists

Use

You have numerous possibilities for selecting and formatting the data in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. Working with the lists is thus more flexible and simpler, and system performance is enhanced.

Prerequisites

You have called up the MRP list or the stock/requirements list for a material.

Features

Definition of settings to access the lists

You define which settings are activated as standard when you access the MRP list and the stock/requirements list (material tree, header details, filter, company-specific navigation profile, period totals display, and so on) and select a filter, navigation profile, and period split, as required. You can save the settings (see Configuring Access to the Lists).

Navigation between materials in the material tree

Double-click on a material in the material tree to directly access the list for the chosen material.

You can switch the material tree between the worklist tree, the order tree and the product group tree.

You select which information is displayed in the material tree, sort/group the materials displayed as you require, and save the settings (see Material Tree, Select Fields in the Tree, Sort/Group Fields in the Tree).

Definition of user-specific transaction calls

You enhance the company-specific navigation profiles, which are available to all users, by adding user-specific transaction calls for the transactions to which you want to branch from the lists. As with the company-specific navigation profiles, you can use general transaction calls, which means that they refer to the material, and specific transaction calls, which refer to individual MRP elements (see Flexible Transaction Calls, Define User-Specific General Transaction Calls, Define User-Specific Transaction Calls per MRP Element).

Configuration of the columns in the lists

You adapt the sequence and width of all the columns that are displayed as standard to your needs. You do this with the mouse and save the settings in display variants, using in the upper part of the screen, on the right-hand side of the table. This does not include additional columns that the system only displays when they have contents. You can find further information on this under Table Settings in the introduction to the SAP System in the SAP Library.

Saving selection parameters for the collective access to the MRP list

In the collective access to the MRP list, you save the settings for selecting data and limiting the selection (see Using Collective Access for MRP Lists).

Definition of traffic light values

The system displays the material with particular traffic light values (red, yellow, green) in the material lists for the collective access and in the worklist tree. Red traffic lights next to certain materials indicate immediately that these materials are critical and urgently need to be processed. The traffic light display is controlled by ranges of coverage and exception groups. You change the standard settings for traffic light values according to your needs and save them (see Define Traffic Lights).

Definition of print settings

Before you print material lists and individual lists, the system displays a list, which you can print and edit. In this list, you sort and filter information, define column sequence and column width and save the settings in display variants. You can find further information on this under ABAP List Viewer in the introduction to the SAP System in the SAP Library.
