Definition

Use

You select this checkbox to specify that the query selection criterion is compound. A compound selection criterion combines two existing selection criteria by a Boolean operator (AND or OR). If you want to combine more than two selection criteria, you have to use more than one compound selection criteria and combine them in a binary-tree-like structure (see example below).

In the standard system, the system assumes that the Boolean operator AND combines all selection criteria of a query. That is, the system only retrieves result data that fulfill all selection criteria. If you want to combine selection criteria by Boolean operator OR, you have to define a compound selection criterion. If you use Boolean operator OR, the combined selection criteria have to refer to the same query field.

Note: You can use the same selection criterion in only one compound selection criterion.

Dependencies

If you select this checkbox, you must enter values in fields Criterion ID 1 (Criterion ID), Criterion ID 2, and Bool. Operator (Boolean Operator).

Example

You have defined a selection criterion C1 as MATERIAL = PROD01 and a selection criterion C2 as MATERIAL = PROD02. Based on these criteria, you create a compound selection criterion C3 and define it as C1 OR C2. In this example, the system retrieves result data for both materials PROD01 and PROD02.

You have defined three selection criteria C10, C11, and C12 and you want to combine them with Boolean operator OR. To do so, you create the compound selection criteria C13 = C11 OR C12 and C14 = C10 OR C13.
