Finding in Lists (SD)

Use

In the lists that are not managed by the ABAP List Viewer, you can use the Find (or search) function to reduce the list to those documents which you need. Depending on where you place the cursor, you can use the Find function in several ways:

Note

This function is the same as Edit ® Set filter in the ABAP List Viewer.

Procedure
Cursor in the command line

Place the cursor in the command line.

Choose Edit ® Find.

A dialog box appears in which you can specify search fields. Possible search fields include the user who created the document, various organizational data, or the document date.

Select up to three search fields.

Choose Enter.

An additional dialog box appears in which you must define the selected search fields further. Choose Enter.

The system displays the documents that meet your search criteria.

Cursor is on a field in the list header

Place the cursor in the header line in the list, such as the document date field.

Choose Edit ® Find.

A dialog box appears in which you can limit the search criterion to a set of values. In addition, you can set a string or initial indicator. If you set the string indicator, the specified value may only appear as a character in the selected field. When using an initial indicator, do not enter a set of values. The system displays all the documents for which the chosen field is blank.

Enter your selection criteria.

Choose Enter.

The system displays all the documents that meet your search criteria.

Cursor is on a field in a column

To find documents that match the criteria in a column, place the cursor on a field in the column.

Choose Edit ® Find.

Only those entries in the list which meet the search criterion are displayed. If, for example, you place the cursor on item 10 in the item column and then choose Edit ® Find, the system displays a list of all documents with item 10.
