Selection Screen 
Definition
A screen or a dialog box where you can select your data according to specific selection criteria during the capacity evaluation, for example work centers by work center name and plant.
Use
In the capacity evaluation there are several selection screens available where you can group various selection criteria. When you call up the capacity evaluation you automatically reach the screen Selection. Besides this initial selection screen there are the following fixed selection screens that you can call up at any time:
Selecting by work center
Selecting by order
Selecting by capacity category
You can also define and call up additional selection screens.
Structure
In Customizing you can define:
Which selection criteria are grouped on the selection screens
Which possible entries are offered for every selection criterion
You specify these qualities in multidimension sets or in combinations . You define multidimension sets for the screen Selection and for the selection screens that are integrated in the menu and you specify them in the Selection profile . For other selection screens you use combinations.
You can find information on calling up selection screens in Calling up selection screens .
Possible entries
For every selection criterion in a selection screen you can:
Combine entry fields for intervals or individual values as you like
Define default values (for example, from the SET/GET parameters) or fixed values
Default values are displayed in a selection screen and can be overwritten in contrast to fixed values. Fixed values are only displayed in the screen Selection list and cannot be changed in the evaluation.
Operators
On a selection screen where there is a field for an individual value there is also a field for an operator. Therefore, you can also define value ranges even if only one individual value can be specified for the selection criterion. You can use the following operators:
Symbols |
Meaning |
|
= |
eq |
equal to |
> |
gt |
greater than |
>= |
ge |
Greater than or equal to |
< |
lt |
less than |
>= |
le |
Less than or equal to |
<> |
ne |
not equal to |
In the standard, the operator = is preset for the single value. However, it is not displayed in the operator field on the selection screen. Even if you have specified this operator yourself the system does not display it on the selection screen.
Generic specification
To specify the values for the selection criteria you can also use the wildcard character *. By specifying CENTER* for work centers you select all the work centers whose name starts with CENTER.
Note
You have to enter leading zeros as with the order numbers.
