Documentation

Definition

Contains the position of an area on the area group page.

Use

Use this field to position the areas on the area group page by assigning numbers to them.

• The area with the lowest number appears in the top-left position.
• The area with the second lowest number appears in the top-right position.
• The area with the third lowest number appears below the area with the lowest number.

The system determines the positions of the areas by sorting the numbers. Therefore, using the numbers 1, 2, and 3 has the same effect as using the numbers 10, 20, and 30. SAP recommends you use numbers with blank intervals (such as 10, 20, and 30). This way you can later insert another area, at any position, without renumbering the other areas. You can use numbers from 1 to 999.

If you do not enter a position number for a table entry, the relevant area will not appear on the screen.
