Documentation

Definition

The field catalog of a usage often contains a number of condition fields that have a similar meaning (for example, customer number and sold-to party).

This indicator designates that the system, in addition to the condition field entered, also gets all other condition fields that use the same check table. All of these fields then form a group (this is not the same as a field group!).

Use

For example, you want to implicitly get all fields that semantically are the same as the customer number, then you simply have to name a suitable representative field and set the grouping indicator for it. The system then groups all of the fields together into a group.

During a search for key combinations, the system considers all of the fields in a group.

When selection criteria are entered, all of the fields can use a common selection parameter.

Dependencies

The effect of this indicator depends on the foreign keys defined in the dialog communication structure (such as, structure KOMG).

Example

The system determines the related fields for field KUNNR.

HIENR (customer in customer hierarchy)

KUNAG (sold-to party)

KUNWE (ship-to party)

KUNRG (payer)

KUNRE (bill-to party)

All of these fields together can form a group.
