Documentation

Definition

A selection of criteria stored in the system.

Using a selection variant you can store specific criteria you want to use in selecting your objects. This saves you having to enter the same data every time you start object selection.

For selection variants you can use, for example, fields from the order master data, but also classification attributes, status selection profiles and activity grouping codes, amongst others.

You define the selection variants in the Implementation Guide "overhead cost orders -> order master data -> Selection and collective processing -> define selection variants".
