Valid Values With Pre-Selection
Valid Values With Pre-Selection
Valid values with pre-selection capability are the most complicated of the valid values lists. They allow you to limit the values displayed in the list to those that meet the selection criteria specified in the initial pre-selection window.
When you request a valid values list with pre-selection, a window of enterable fields is displayed. You may enter valid data into these fields to be used as selection criteria for the valid values list, exit the window and return to the screen, or request valid values for a field on the pre-selection window. If you enter valid selection data, only values that meet the criteria are displayed in the valid values window. If you do not enter any selection criteria, all possible values are displayed. The following example illustrates how valid values with pre-selection works.
You want to inquire into a sales order; however, you do not know the correct sales order number. When the Sales Order Inquiry Function Select Screen (OP800S01) is displayed, you place the cursor on the sales order number field, press F4, and a pre-selection window is displayed.

A Valid Values Pre-Selection Window.
The Sales Order List Criteria Select Screen (OP100W01) displays eleven enterable fields. You may enter data into any, all, or none of these fields to use as selection criteria for the sales order number valid values list. In this case, you must enter either the bill-to customer or the part number. However, in some pre-select screens all of the fields are optional. Because you would like to limit the list further to a specific customer, you decide to enter a customer number. However, you do not know any valid customer numbers, so you enter information in the Company and Location fields, place the cursor on the Bill-to Customer field of the pre-selection window and press F4 to obtain a list of valid customers.

The Bill-to Customer Valid Values Window After Pre-Selection.
As you can see, another valid values window is displayed and you select a customer to return to the Sales Order List Criteria Select Screen. You also want to select only those orders with an order type of B, C, F, or G. So, you enter these four values into the Order Type field (some pre-selection fields allow you to enter more than one value at one time).
