Internal order lists provide you with an overview of a number of selected internal orders. They list data (relevant for your purposes) from the order master data for the selected internal orders.
Master Data Index
Different selection variants are defined in the standard to help you with selection from the master data index. You can use the order master data fields as selection criteria. You can define your own selection criteria, or limit the selection using Selection Criteria .
You can go from here to the master data for the internal orders listed.
Example
You want to assign all orders that have a given combination of Responsible cost center/order type to a new manager.
Enter the responsible cost center and the order type as selection criteria. The system displays a list of all the orders that meet the specified criteria. You can branch to each of these orders and change the name of the responsible person.
You can generate an order group using the master data index for internal orders. You can use these order groups for overhead calculation and in reporting.
Note
You cannot use order groups (that you create with the Order list function) in order planning, nor can you edit them using the hierarchy function.
Cost Analysis
The system selects classification characteristics in order to analyze plan and actual costs. These characteristics are taken from the internal order master data. You need to generate them using the Implementation Guide.
You can restrict the selection by entering intervals or individual values in the appropriate fields. The system creates an order list, showing the orders which meet the specified criteria.
Note
The system only selects orders with order types for which classification is active.
You can find more information on classification in the SAP Library under Order Selection
