Define General Transaction Calls 

Use

General transaction calls are valid for all materials. Example: Display BOM, display planning file entries.

Prerequisites

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

Procedure

  1. Choose Environment ® Own favorites ® Maintain.

    2. The system displays an overview of all existing transaction calls.

  2. Choose New entries.
  3. Choose Examples.

    4. The system displays a list of popular transaction calls that are available in the standard SAP System. The examples are defined in Customizing in navigation profile SAP0000000.

  4. Select the required transaction call.

    5. The predefined parameters for the selected transaction call are copied to the screen. The predefined parameters can include the menu text, icon, icon text, quick info text, predefined parameters for fields in the initial screen, restrictions, and the application area. The menu text is displayed in the menu, under Environment, and a pushbutton with the icon and the text is shown in the application toolbar.

    You can test the new branch by using the menu entry or the pushbutton.

  5. Change the navigation number so that it matches your own numbering system.

    6. The navigation number controls which of the transaction calls that have been created are offered as a branch and in which sequence in the respective transaction.

    If there are more than five valid transaction calls for the material displayed, which means transaction calls for which the material corresponds to the defined conditions, the system displays the five with the lowest sequence number.

  6. Save the transaction call.

Result

The transaction call is immediately available in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. The defined menu text is displayed in the menu, under Environment ® Own favorites. In addition, a pushbutton with an icon and text is displayed.

The link is only available when the material whose list is displayed corresponds to the defined conditions. Example: A link that is only valid for in-house produced materials (procurement type E) is not displayed for externally procured materials.

You are not dependent on the examples provided. You can define new transaction calls according to your requirements.
