Technically, the order overview is an ALV Grid Control . A fundamental characteristic of the ALV Grid Control is that it offers a set of standard settings and functions. This is not necessarily completely available in every application within the SAP system. However, the specific settings and standard functions, which are described in the ALV Grid Control documentation, are triggered in all functions in the same way.
