Definition

Selection criteria for groups.

Supplementary Documentation - GRPHELPSEL0001

Use

Groups are hierarchically structured. Each hierarchy node corresponds to a group.

A top node is a group that is not present in any other group as a sub-group.
An end node is a group that does not contain any sub-groups.
In a group such as this, the values for which the group was created (cost centers for example) can be combined.

Using other selection criteria, the system first selects the relevant groups; for example all cost centers in controlling area 0001 that start with the letter "G".
The system then checks the hierarchical relationships that exist between the members of the selected groups.

If necessary, you can reduce the number of hits further according to

  • All nodes

    The system ignores the relationships between the groups within the hierarchy. All groups found are displayed.

  • End nodes only

    From the groups found, the system displays the end nodes only.

  • No end nodes

    The system ignores the end nodes from the groups found. The end nodes are not displayed.

  • Top nodes only

    From the groups found, the system displays the top nodes only.

  • With selection variants

    The situation regarding selection variants is slightly different in that if you select the With selection variants field, the system displays the selection variants as well as the groups.

Dependencies

Example

Controlling area 0001 contains two group hierarchies:

0000000000 666666666
1111111111 7777777777
2222222222 8888888888
3333333333 9999999999
4444444444
5555555555

The different selection criteria provide the following results:

  • All nodes
    Groups 0000000000 through 9999999999
  • End nodes only
    Groups 3333333333 through 5555555555, 9999999999
  • No end nodes
    Groups 0000000000 through 2222222222 and 666666666 through 8888888888
  • Top nodes only
    Groups 0000000000 and 666666666.
