Where-Used List for Specifications

Use

In the standard system, a where-used list is supplied with which you can determine specifications that contain the specifications selected in the hit list in one or more of the following ways:

The selected specifications are contained in compositions or listings as components.
The selected specifications are specified as references.
The selected specifications are specified in the transport classification.

You also have the option of defining your own where-used lists in Customizing for Product Safety in the IMG activity Manage User Exits using user exits of the user exit category SUB_USAGE (where-used list in the hit list). If you specify a number of user exits for where-used lists for a specification category, a dialog box appears in the application in which a list of all where-used lists for the specification category is displayed. You can enter the following information:

You can specify whether the where-used lists are linked logically with AND or OR.
For each where-used list you can specify parameters on the basis of which the where-used list is executed, that is on the basis of which specifications are searched for.

Note

You can only specify parameters for a number of where-used lists if these where-used lists provide specifications of one specification category only as the result.

If you have defined only one user exit for a specification category, a dialog box appears in the application in which you specify the parameters.

Integration

You can also include a where-used list for specifications as a search step in a query (see Creating a Specification Search Directly as a Query). The selection of individual specifications from the where-used list will be lost, however, meaning that the where-used list is run when the query is executed for all specifications in the hit list.
