When you drilldown according to characteristic, a characteristic value is shown in detail with regard to a characteristic (for example, material, customer, vendor, period).
Examples: Characteristic DrilldownThe following diagram illustrates the characteristic drilldown using the Shop Floor Information System as an example.
The diagram shows a drilldown on the work center Milling 01 in the work center analysis according to the characteristic material. The drilldown list shows all materials for the work center Milling 01. In the second characteristic drilldown, the material ‘Spindle’ is drilled down according to period. The drilldown list shows the distribution of the key figures ‘Order quantity’ and ‘Lead time’ for the material ‘Spindle’ over the periods.
Which characteristics can be used in a drill down?

What sequence can be used in a drilldown?
You can determine the sequence in the drilldown on the characteristics is performed or you can follow a predefined analysis path, called the standard drilldown.
You can determine the sequence in which the standard drilldown according to characteristic is performed for each standard analysis. You can specify the sequence in either Customizing for the Logistics Information System for the respective information system and the respective standard analysis, or you can make user-specific settings under the menu option Standard analyses
