Filtering Items (SAP Library - BOMs (PP-BD-BOM))

Filtering Items

On the item overviews, you can filter the items according to various criteria. To do this, enter a filter object in a dialog box or combine several filter criteria in a dynamic filter. All the items that do not match your filter criteria are filtered out of the item overviews.

Note

The filter settings remain active only during the current BOM processing session. If you process the BOM again at a later date, you have to reset the filter.

To set filters, choose: Edit ® Filter.

If you filter according to object, only the items of one specific object type are displayed. To do this, select a Filter object:

Material

Document

Class

Without object (text item, for example)

You can filter according to whether the item has Object dependencies or Classification data.

If you filter according to Item category, only the items of one specific item category are displayed.

You enter the item category of the items you want to see in a dialog box.

Filtering Dynamically

If you want to combine filter criteria so that you see an even more precise selection of items, choose Filter ® Dynamic.

Select the indicators for one or more datasets:

Object filter

Item category filter

Classification filter

Object dependencies filter

Note

The filter settings remain active during the current BOM processing session. If you want to display an overview of all the valid items again, choose Edit ® Filter ® Hide.

Filtering by Effectivity

On the item overview the changes with all effectivity types are displayed in the standard system. With the effectivity filter, you can hide certain items. Further information on effectivity filters can be found under Filtering Items According to Effectivity.
