A screen or a dialog box where you can select your data according to specific selection criteria during the capacity evaluation, for example work centers by work center name and plant.

In the capacity evaluation there are several selection screens available where you can group various selection criteria. When you call up the capacity evaluation you automatically reach the screen Selection. Besides this initial selection screen there are the following fixed selection screens that you can call up at any time:

• Selecting by work center
• Selecting by order
• Selecting by capacity category

You can also define and call up additional selection screens.

In Customizing you can define:

• Which selection criteria are grouped on the selection screens
• Which possible entries are offered for every selection criterion

For every selection criterion in a selection screen you can:

• Combine entry fields for intervals or individual values as you like
• Define default values (for example, from the SET/GET parameters) or fixed values

On a selection screen where there is a field for an individual value there is also a field for an operator. Therefore, you can also define value ranges even if only one individual value can be specified for the selection criterion. You can use the following operators:

In the standard, the operator = is preset for the single value. However, it is not displayed in the operator field on the selection screen. Even if you have specified this operator yourself the system does not display it on the selection screen.

To specify the values for the selection criteria you can also use the wildcard character *. By specifying CENTER* for work centers you select all the work centers whose name starts with CENTER.
