Example
You wish to obtain a quick and straightforward overview of changes involving the material, order quantity, and price. This information is particularly important to you. You therefore assign the character A to these fields.
Although the account assignment data is of interest to you, it is not so important as the aforementioned data. You therefore assign the character B to the fields "account assignment category", "cost center", and "G/L account".
You can now sort column C (category) in display mode for the change document in order to obtain the desired sequence and grouping of the data.
