When you define a filter, all data of the product structure are copied as default values for the filter. You restrict the filter by deactivating the automatically selected default values.

  2. Select the function Multiple selection.

    You come to the screen Define filter: <Filter name>.

    1. Deactivate the objects you do not want to check.
      Example: Material, class
    2. Deactivate the object specific data per destination (for example, local system, ALE destination) that you do not want to check.
      Example for material BOMs: use, plant
    3. Select Copy filter.
      4. You return to the filter overview.
  3. Check whether the data for the filter is completely maintained.
