Editing the Substance Hit List (SAP Library

Editing the Substance Hit List

1. In the Product Safety screen, choose one of the following paths:

- Substances ® Edit substances

- Substances ® Display substances

The initial screen for these functions appears.

2. In the initial screen, specify your search criteria (see Searching for Substances) and choose Substance ® Navigation ® Hit list.

If the R/3 System finds data records that correspond to your search criteria, the hit list appears. It is displayed in two lines:

- The first line contains the substance key, category, and a maximum of nine identifiers.

- The second line contains up to 10 more identifiers. The first is the search identifier that led to the inclusion of the data record in the hit list.

If you search for materials, the material found is displayed in the first column of the second line in place of the identifier.

You specify the identifier display in Customizing for Product Safety.
