Define User-Group-Specific Selection

In this step, you can adjust the selection in the Batch Information Cockpit to meet your needs by defining one or more user-group-specific selections.

For detailed information on the technical definition of the SAP standard selection, refer to the section SAP Display Standard Selection.

If you do not want to change the SAP standard selection, no action is required on your part.

Note

Only the data fields that are also contained in the selection tab titles are copied to the selection result. The display fields in the data area of the selection result are oriented mainly to the sequence of the selection tab titles and their selection fields . You can also change the sequence of the data fields in the selection result individually and save them as display variants.

For more informationen on the Batch Information Cockpit, refer to the section LO Batch Management in the SAP Library.

You have the following options when defining your user-group-specific selection:

Change title of selection tab titles

If you want to change only the title of a selection tab title, proceed as follows:

1. Define a user group.
2. Assign the selection tab title to this user group.
3. Change the text of the selection tab title.

Change sequence of selection tab titles

Carry out the steps 1 and 2 as described under Change title of selection tab titles and enter the item you want in the Item field.

Activate and deactivate selection tab titles

If you want to use a selection tab title that is not active in the standard system, carry out the steps 1 and 2 as described under Change title of selection tab titles and set the Active tab title indicator.

If you do not want to use a selection tab title that is active in the standard system, carry out the steps 1 and 2 as described under Change title of selection tab titles and deactivate the Active tab title indicator.

Define user-group-specific selection fields

If you do not define any user-group-specific selection fields for the tab titles, the system displays the standard selection fields. You can only define selection fields for selection tab titles that are not flagged as fixed. If you define a selection field for a selection tab title, the system only displays this field on the selection tab title you have defined. Only the selection fields that are on an active selection tab title are visible.

Proceed as follows:

1. Define a user group.
2. Define a selection tab title and assign this to the user group.
3. Define selection fields and assign them to selection tab titles.

Assign users to a user group

You can choose whether a user-group-specific selection should:

To do this, assign users to a user group via the parameter BICUG in the user master record.
To do this, select a user group as a
standard group.

Note

If a user is not assigned to a user group and no user group is flagged as the standard group, the SAP standard selection is used in the Batch Information Cockpit.

Simulation of selection settings

In the User group subdialog, you can simulate the user-group-specific selection screen for the selected user group by choosing the User group button. To display the SAP standard selection screen, choose SAP Standard.

In the Selection tab title subitem, you can simulate your selected selection tab title via the User group button. Via the SAP Standard button, you can simulate the corresponding standard selection tab title

Recommendation

If you want to include additional fields in your user-group-specific selection, we recommend that you use a selection tab title that is not active in the standard system, include these fields in the tab title, and activate it.
