 Order Manager And Collective Processing Of Master Data Changes Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The Order Manager provides you with a graphic user interface to manage master data. This interface is easy to use, and fast to learn. Collective processing enables the expert to process the data efficiently for the management of master data for internal orders.

Features

The linking element between work steps is a worklist, which can be filled either by using a selection variant or selecting single orders ( personal worklist). The worklist last used is saved specifically for its user and is available again next time the user logs on to the system.

The worklist displays the master data fields for the selected orders in columns. This is an ALV grid list with the following functions: Sort, find, details, set filter, print, and your own display variants . You can save the layout either user-specific, or for all users.

You can display or change single orders from the worklist. You can also create new orders, possibly as a copy of an order in the worklist.

You can also select single orders, and process them in the new collective processing for orders. Collective processing enables you to (for example) replace entries in individual fields in the selected orders with a common value. If you select individual columns as well as the orders in the worklist, and if these fields are allowed for collective processing changes, then these columns are available in collective processing as being changeable. If you do not select any columns, then the defaulted columns are changeable in collective processing.

You can store calculations for internal orders.
