In this step, you can select fields for the following screens:

  • Task lists
  • Header screens
  • Sequence screens
  • Operation screens
  • PRT overview
  • PRT details

All of the screens where field selection is possible are combined into individual screen groups (for example, all list or detail screens for task lists).

For each screen group you define the modifiable and influencing fields:

  • For modifiable fields, you use an indicator to determine how the individual fields are displayed on the screen:
    • Field is ready for input (standard setting)
    • Field requires an entry (required entry)
    • Field is display only
    • Field is hidden
    • Field is highlighted

      If, for example, you determine for the list and detail screens for confirmation within the network that "work center" is a required entry, you must maintain the work center in all confirmations.

  • For the influencing fields, you determine how the modifiable field is displayed on the screen, depending on a value (for example, "work center" is a required entry for a certain order type).

Note

The field selection settings you define can be transported and will remain unchanged when you upgrade to a new release.

If a modifiable field becomes a required entry because of a change to an influencing field, the system does not check whether this field is filled in objects that already exist.

You cannot modify required fields that are already hard-coded for the application.

Standard settings

There are no default settings for field selection.

The modifiable and influencing fields are defined for each screen group and cannot be extended.

Activities

You have several options for defining a field selection:

To maintain the indicators for modifiable fields independently of any influencing value, proceed as follows:

  1. Place the cursor on a screen group.
  2. Choose the function key Modifiable.

    All of the fields that you can modify for this screen group are displayed.

  3. Maintain the indicators and save your entries.

To maintain an influencing value for an influencing field and then the indicators for modifiable fields, proceed as follows:

  1. Place the cursor on a screen group.
  2. Choose the function key Influencing.

    All of the fields for which you can maintain influencing values are displayed.

  3. Double-click on the influencing field for which you want to maintain a value.

    All of the fields which you can modify for the influencing value are displayed.

  4. Maintain a value in the field Contents and the corresponding indicators for the modifiable fields.
  5. Choose Enter.

    Your entries are accepted.

  6. Maintain additional values for the influencing field, or select additional fields using the function key Influencing.
  7. Save your entries.

To maintain an indicator for a modifiable field and specify the values of the influencing fields, proceed as follows:

  3. Double-click on a modifiable field for which you want to maintain influencing values.

    All of the influencing fields appear on the screen.

  4. Place the cursor on an influencing field for which you would like to enter a value and select New Values.

    You see a dialog box.
