 Selection Tab Pages

Definition

Selection tab pages divide the selection area in the Batch Information Cockpit thematically according to selection criteria.

Use

You enter your selection criteria on the selection tab page(s).

Structure

The standard system displays the following selection tab pages:

  • Material

  • Batch

  • Classification

    On this selection tab page you can select batches by:

    • Batch class

    • Classification status(es) of the batches

    • Selection class and characteristics

      If you want to display characteristics for a batch, or according to characteristics, then you must enter a selection class and choose .

  • Stock

  • Shelf-life

    On this selection tab page you can select batches from various stocks according to their shelf life.

    You influence the display of the SLED status using the Remaining shelf-life field in the Selection Result: Batches/Stock .

    Example Example

    In the Remaining shelf-life field, enter 10 days and leave all indicators for the SLED active.

    The batches whose SLED expires within the next 10 days are indicated with .

    The batches whose SLED has expired today are indicated with .

    The batches whose SLED expires in more than 10 days are indicated with .

    If you do not make an entry in the Remaining shelf-life field, the system interprets this as 0 days.

    This means that batches whose SLED expires today are indicated with . Batches whose SLED has already expired are indicated with , and batches whose SLED expires in the future are indicated with .

    For batches where the SLED is not known, the column SLED Status in the Selection Result: Batches/Stock shows .

    End of the example.

  • Worklist

    You can use this selection tab page to make a selection according to the contents of one or more worklist folders.

  • ATP/Display units of measure

    You can use this selection tab page, you can obtain information about the availability situation of batches for a specific requirements date.

    You can display the stocks and ATP quantities in the following units of measure:

    • Base unit of measure

    • Batch-specific units of measure (product and proportion unit of measure)

    • Alternative unit of measure (for example, purchase order unit of measure)

  • BAdI

    You can use this selection tab page to work with a customer-specific selection via BAdI.

    SAP delivers two example implementations for this BAdI:

    • Inspection lots

      You can use this implementation to select by batches in inspection lots. In the Selection Result: Batches , the system displays the inspection lot numbers relevant for the batches. Click an inspection lot number to display the inspection lot in a new session.

      For more information, see Customizing for Batch Management under Start of the navigation path Batch Information Cockpit Next navigation step Selection Enhancements Next navigation step Define Selection Enhancements/Selection Enhancements: Assign User Groups End of the navigation path .

    • Batch-related objects

      You can use this implementation to select by batches in different objects (for example, in sales orders, deliveries, handling units, and so on). You can display additional information on the objects (table fields) in the Selection Result: Batches .

      In addition, you can display the batches that have gone into producing the selected batch (top-down) or the batches that have resulted from the selected batch (bottom-up) in the Selection Result: Batches .
