Topic overview

The Cockpit: Purchase order confirmations application is used primarily to query purchase order confirmations via their basic information, such as purchase order types and purchase order confirmation numbers. The application provides an overview of the order confirmations entered.

The main general description of cockpit applications, which includes the usual handling of a query and work pane, can be found in the Cockpits article. Information on customizing functions, business entities, and authorizations can be found in the Purchase order confirmations article, which describes the voucher application. The topics that apply specifically to the Cockpit: Purchase order confirmations application are covered below.

Application description

You can use the query application Cockpit: Purchase order confirmations to get an overview of all or selected purchase order confirmations. In addition, further processing options are available, as the application allows you to:

• Display the voucher references chain for a single voucher
• Go to the Purchase order confirmations application using a voucher number to further process the voucher

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 Purchase order confirmations documentation.

Detailed searches

Furthermore, a detail search can be used in addition to the main search with query fields in the query pane. Detail searches can be combined with the main search so that both the search criteria from the query pane and the search criteria of the detail search can be analyzed as AND link. To combine them, a checkbox is available in the grouping line of the detail search. In order to display corresponding results in the work pane, as well, a button is available carrying the name of the detail search. If this button is activated, another heading line will appear in the work pane, including relevant detailed information.

The following detail searches are available:

• Basic line items
• Sub-items

As a rule, the most important query fields are already available. You can determine which query fields you want to be displayed. To do so, choose the desired query fields from a set of fields. Usually you can find a full description of the query fields in the What’s this help. If required, use the value assistant for the query field.

Work pane

A table is available in the work pane in which the queried purchase orders are displayed. You can determine yourself which information is displayed for a purchase order confirmation. To view a purchase order confirmation in different ways with different information, several views can be created.

If you have also activated the detail search buttons, the table contains additional heading lines and detailed information.

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 Purchase order confirmations article.
