Assigning Components to a Group (SAP Library

Assigning Components to a Group

Use

You use groups to monitor the dates of selected components and events together.

In the dates overview, the system only displays dates for components and events that have been assigned to a group. You can also use groups for filtering and sorting.

If you have entered a profile on the initial screen and this profile contains an entry in the Group field, the system automatically creates an initial group, which contains all the selected components.

Prerequisites

You have created groups for the selected components in Monitoring Dates.

Procedure

If you are already on the Groups overview screen, start at step 4.

Choose Logistics or Accounting ® Project System ® Material ® Planning or Execution ® Monitoring dates.
On the initial screen, enter the object(s) for whose components you want to monitor the dates. Such an object could be:

A project
A WBS element or a range of WBS elements
A network or a range of networks

If required, enter a profile for monitoring dates. In a profile you can pre-define in Customizing which date types are displayed, the traffic lights, and the scheduling settings.

Choose

Groups.

The Groups overview screen appears. If no groups exist, first create groups for the selected components.

Select a group and choose Components.

An overview of the components appears. On the left you see those components that have been assigned to the group, and on the right the selected components that have not yet been assigned.
