Topic overview

The Cockpit: Distribution requests/line items application is used primarily to query distribution requests for line item information, such as items or status. The application provides you with an overview of the distribution request line items entered. You can also carry out further actions for one or more vouchers from the application, such as manually completing a distribution request line item.

For a general description of cockpit applications, which includes, among other things, the usual handling of a query and work pane, see the Cockpits article. Information on customizing functions, business entities, and authorizations can be found in the Distribution requests article, which describes the voucher application. The topics that apply specifically to the Cockpit: Distribution requests/line items application are covered below.

Application description

You can use the query application Cockpit: Distribution requests/line items to get an overview of all or selected distribution requests. In addition, further processing options are available, as the application allows you to:

• Display the voucher references chain for a single voucher line item
• Go to the Distribution requests application using a voucher number to further process the voucher
• Execute application-related actions

The application consists of a query pane and a work pane.

Query pane

Query fields are stored in the query pane. As a rule, the most important query fields are already available. However, the number of query fields and their placement can vary.

The query pane is saved per view. You can determine which query fields are displayed. To do this, select the desired query fields from the list of fields. The description of the query fields can usually be found in the What’s this help.

For a general description of query fields, see the Cockpits article.

For information on the meaning of the fields, please refer to the explanations in the Distribution requests article.

Work pane

A table is available in the work pane in which the queried distribution request line items are displayed. You can determine yourself which information is displayed for a request line item. To view a request line item in different ways with different information, several views can be created.

For a general description of the work pane, see the Cockpits article.

For information on the meaning of individual columns, refer to the explanations in the Distribution requests article.
