Demo 2.4: Review a work list

ONLINE LISTS
Online lists display lists of master data—such as materials, vendors, and pur-
chasing info records—and documents—such as transaction documents, FI,
CO, and material documents—that are generated during the execution of a
process. The content and appearance of these lists are defi ned using selec-
tion parameters and scope-of-list parameters. Selection parameters determine
which documents will be included in the list, while the scope-of-list parameters
defi ne which data will be included for the selected documents. In addition,
numerous other parameters such as dates, master data (e.g., vendors), and
organizational data (e.g., plant) can be used to narrow the data in the report.
Figure 2-15 shows the initial screen for the display of purchasing documents.
The inset shows choices for the selection parameters.
The reports are displayed in one of two available formats—a standard
list format using the SAP list viewer or a grid format using the ABAP list viewer
(ALV) grid control. Examples of these formats are provided in Figure 2-16 and
Figure 2-17, respectively.
The list viewer and grid control provide several options for displaying the
report output. These options are illustrated in Figure 2-18 and are explained
as follows.

• The select detail allows the user to select a line on the report and
drill down for more details.
• The set fi lter option is used to limit the list to only those items that
meet specifi ed values. For example, the list can be restricted to
purchase orders where the quantity ordered (one of the columns)
exceeds a specifi ed value.
• Lists can be sorted in ascending or descending order in a selected
column.
