Use

The system searches the entire worklist for the search string that you have entered. The system does not differentiate between upper-case and lower-case.

The systems searches the following data for all entries in the worklist:

  • Headers (for example, "Purchasing Organization")
  • Selection parameters (for example, purchasing organization "0002")
  • Selection parameter short texts that are displayed in parenthesis behind the selection parameters (for example, purchasing organization short text "Purchasing area South")

The system always searches the data below the node you selected. If you do not select a specific node, the system searches the entire worklist.

You can also run a generic search by entering the start of the character string. Use the extended search function to look at all possible hits.

Example

Examples of the generic search:

  • Search for plants "0001", "0002" and "0003". Use search character string "000" to do so.
  • You are searching for the name "Miller"
