Set of Hits Management (SAP Library - Specification Management)

Set of Hits Management

Purpose

Using set of hits management, you can save, edit, and load the results of complex specification searches as required in the form of sets of hits. As the system does not start a new search of the specification database when you load a set of hits, performance is improved considerably.

Caution

A set of hits only ever contains the specifications that already existed at the time the set of hits was saved in the system. Specifications that were created subsequently in the system and that would also fulfill the search criteria that led to the set of hits are not automatically included in the set of hits. In this case, you must repeat the search and save the set of hits again. Searches that you require regularly for this purpose can be created as queries (see Query Management).

Specifications that existed at the time the set of hits was saved in the system, but were then deleted, are not displayed when the set of hits is loaded.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Product Safety, you have carried out the following IMG activities:

In the IMG activity Specify Groups you have defined groups.

The groups are used to store and edit sets of hits in set of hits management.

In the IMG activity Specify Group Trees and Assign Groups you have assigned groups to the group tree for sets of hits.

Process Flow

You can carry out the following activities in the initial set of hits management screens:

You can create a set of hits by starting a specification search (see Searching Manually for Specifications) or by executing a query.

You can load a set of hits that already exists.

The set of hits that is generated or loaded is displayed in the hit list (see Specification Management Hit List and Specification Information System Hit List). From the hit list, you can remove unwanted specifications from the set of hits (manually reduce it) and save, unify, form the intersection of, and reduce sets of hits (see Basic Functions in the Hit List). With the help of drilldown reporting, you can execute a query of the system in the background and automatically save the set of hits that results (see Executing Drilldown Reporting Jobs).

Sets of hits are managed in groups. In the group overview, you can copy or move sets of hits between the groups, delete them completely, or edit their header data.
