Searching and Editing a Qualification Catalog

You can search, display, and edit qualification catalogs using the Qualification Catalog transaction (/MRSS/SQM_CAT).

Prerequisites

You are authorized to create, edit, and delete qualification catalogs (authorization object /MRSS/MNT). Authorizations can be restricted to certain activities, maintenance groups, and structure nodes.

Features

Searching

You can search for qualification catalogs from the Qualification Catalog initial screen (transaction /MRSS/SQM_CAT). If you do not know the catalog number, you can use the input help for qualification catalogs to search for specific header or item data. The search for the short text is not case-sensitive.

Editing

You must be in change mode to edit a qualification catalog.

Creating catalog items

To create a new item, choose (New Line at Same Level). If entries already exist, select an item at the required location in the tree hierarchy and choose (New Line at Same Level) or (New Subordinate Line). The system assigns a qualification number and you can enter a validity duration in days, a usable until date, a short text, and a longer description for the item.

Note

You can create only as many hierarchies in the tree structure as are specified in the header data of the qualification catalog in the Hierarchy Depth field.

End of the note.
Moving and deleting catalog items

You can move or delete selected items using drag and drop. You can also select several entries and move or delete them together. You can delete qualifications only if they are no longer used. To check this, select the qualification and call the where-used list from the toolbar of the tree structure. To do so, choose (Usages in Matrixes).
Changing the maintenance group
You can change the maintenance group of a qualification catalog only if the catalog is not used in a qualification matrix.

Creation of change documents

If you have activated the creation of change documents for qualification catalogs in Customizing at Qualifications Activate Creation of Change Documents for Master Data, the system logs your changes to qualification catalogs using the SAP functions for creating change documents. To call the change history for the catalog or individual qualifications, choose the corresponding entry under Environment Display Changes .

Note Note

The system does not log structure changes in the hierarchy of the qualification catalog. If you want to track these, check the changes of the field for the higher-level nodes.

End of the note.

Deleting

To delete a qualification catalog, enter the catalog number on the Qualification Catalog initial screen and choose Delete (Delete). You can delete qualification catalogs only if they are no longer used. To check this, call the where-used list in the qualification catalog. To do so, choose (Usages in Matrixes).
