Features

For assignment blocks that have been set up for configurable data retrieval, you can define which data records are selected and displayed by defining selection parameters as part of the user interface (UI) configuration.
As a result, only specific data is displayed in the assignment block.
The system performance can be improved because of a reduced amount of data retrieved from the database. Whether the system performance is improved or not depends on how the configurable data retrieval has been implemented for a certain assignment block.
You can change the selection parameters at any time, altering the data selection presented to the business user.
You can set selection parameters for each view usage (business role), because the selection parameters are specified as part of the view configuration.
Report Views with Configurable Data Retrieval Option (BSP_DLC_CONF_DAT_RETRIEV_USAGE) provides you with a list of all views that support configurable data retrieval.
You can use a Business Add-In to define additional data retrieval parameters for business partners.
You can find the BAdI in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management, under Master Data Business Partner Business Add-Ins BAdI: Selection of Business Transactions for Business Partner .
