Executing Document Display in the Background

To call up the document display for plan and actual postings, choose Information System ® Report selection, then Line Items ® Controlling Documents, Actual Costs in the Cost Center Accounting initial screen

Note

You can display CO documents by controlling area. To change the controlling area when necessary, choose Extras ® Set controlling area.

Enter the document number in the initial screen for document display, or choose Possible entries to find a number.

If you use the entry help, you can search for a document number in the Document Number dialog box according to the following criteria:

By document date
By posting date
By posting periods in fiscal year
By original document number

If you know the reference company code, you can enter this as an additional search aid.

In order to determine the data presentation in the document display, choose a standard display variant under Display variant or define your own variant (see: Choosing Display Variants).

If you require fast performance when calling up document displays, choose Further settings and activate the Variant fields only indicator in the dialog box. This means that you can make only limited changes to the selected display variant in the document display. The number of fields offered for selection in display variant definition is thereby reduced.

If you require the full range of variant definition, leave the Variant fields only indicator deactivated.

You can set the number of selected entries to a maximum limit. To do so, choose Further settings and enter under Maximum number of hits the maximum number of rows to be read from the database. In this way, you can greatly reduce the waiting times for processing.

The following functions are also available on the initial screen:

Selection options offers you more options for entering objects and object intervals (see: Determining Selection Options).

You can delete entries for individual selection rows or all entries for the selection (see: Deleting Selections).

You can limit the selection further by value types, actual versions, and other selection criteria (see: Selecting Value Types, Setting Actual Versions)

You can save your entries in a variant in the initial screen and get them again when you next call up the initial screen (see: Maintaining Variants).

You can read line items from the archive (see: Reading Standard Reports From Archives). To do so, choose Extras ® Data source.

Choose Program ® Execute in background.

In the dialog box, enter the print parameters (printer, number of copies) for your background job, and choose Print.
