Topic overview

The Cockpit: Supplier quotations/line items application is primarily used to query supplier quotations via their line item information, such as item or status data. You can use this application to obtain an overview of the recorded quotation line items. In addition, further actions can be carried out from the application for one or more line items, such as releasing or blocking quotation line items.

For a general description of all cockpit applications, including information on the usual handling of the query and work panes, see the Cockpits article. For information on customizing, business entities, and authorizations, see the Supplier quotations article, which describes the voucher application. The following article, in turn, discusses topics that apply specifically to the Cockpit: Supplier quotations/line items application.

Application description

You can use the Cockpit: Supplier quotations/line items query application to obtain an overview of all or selected supplier quotation line items. Further processing options are also available:

• Display the voucher references chain for an individual voucher line item.
• Use a quotation number to switch to the Supplier quotations application and further process the voucher
• Perform application-related actions

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

Query pane

The query pane is used to store query fields. As a rule, the most important query fields are already provided. However, the number of query fields and their placement can vary.

The query pane is saved for each view. You can determine which query fields you want to be displayed. To do so, you 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.

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

For information on the meaning of individual fields, refer to the explanations in the Supplier quotations article.

Detail 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:

• 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

The table available in the work pane displays the queried supplier quotation line items. You can determine yourself which information on the supplier quotation line items should be displayed. You can also create several views to view a supplier quotation line item in different ways with different information.

If you have also activated the detail search buttons, the table will contain additional header rows and detailed information.
