e elds that are automatically displayed for selection criteria aren’t the only elds
that can be used. By following the menu path Settings
➢
Fields for Selection, you
can choose additional elds to select. Remember that SAP will generally include the
key elds as selection elds. If you are adding in selection elds and you decide to
use this new eld, you will be faced with some very noticeable increase in run times
because tables are indexed by the key elds. You can check to see whether a eld
is an indexed eld by using SE12. ey are usually the top 2 to 10 elds and have
a check mark under the column key. Be careful, because SAP defaults so that only
500 entries are returned. If you require more than 500 entries, you can change this
option via the eld at the bottom of the selection screen.
Please remember that the elds being displayed are also defaulted and can be modi-
ed by using the menu path Settings
