Cut (SAP Library - Special Purpose Ledger)

Cut

Use

This function lets you move all the data in the selected range to the clipboard. When you do that, the system clears the selected cells.

You can select any of the following:

An entire value column

A block within a value column

A block of value cells within a row

You can select an entire column by clicking on the column header. To select a block, use the Select block function. You can also select areas by positioning the cursor. The system interprets the cursor position as follows:

Where is the cursor?	What is selected?
in a lead column (not a blank row)	the row where the cursor is positioned
on a data cell (not a blank row)	the cell where the cursor is positioned
any other position	nothing

If you have explicitly selected a block or entire column, the system ignores the cursor position.

Prerequisites

The selected area may not contain any attribute cells (such as distribution keys), since these cannot be cleared.

Features

When you choose Cut, all the selected cells are cleared (set to "0") and the values contained there are moved to the clipboard. The contents are the clipboard are

Overwritten, the next time you use the Cut or Copy function or

Deleted as soon as you switch from the overview screen to the period screen or back.

The function Paste lets you insert the values from the clipboard to another position on the entry screen.

If you want to reverse the Cut function, choose Undo entries or the corresponding icon.
