WEEK 1 UNIT 5

MERGING TABS
Part 1: Please perform the demonstrated tab merging as shown in the video first.

Part 2: In this exercise you will build a customized view of the material master record for Sue.
Since she monitors the purchase orders, she is only interested in certain portions of the
entire material master, including purchasing- and plant stock-related data. You will provide a
single screen overview of all relevant information, without having to switch tabs.

The end result should look like the following:

Here are steps to build the screen, exercising many of the functions you have learned in the
course.

1) Display a purchase order using transaction ME23N.

Click on the Other Purchase Order button .

Enter a purchase order number (For example: 4500000078) and hit enter.
Click on a material number in the item overview table. This goes to transaction MM03.
You should now be on the Purchasing tab.

2) Create a new flavor.

3) Move the following objects to the free area on the right, outside of the tab strip control:
Material number / Description / Plant container (You may need to click more than
once to select this.)
General Data group control
Purchasing values group control

4) Switch to the Plant Stock tab. You can do this two ways:
a. Either by exiting flavor edit mode, selecting the tab and returning to Edit mode
b. Or by using the blue navigation arrows at the bottom of the tab strip to display the
tabs that are not shown, then double-clicking the tab (It might take several clicks of
the blue arrow to reach the Plant Stock tab).

5) Move the following objects to the free area on the right, outside of the tab strip control:
Current period label, Month and Year fields from the General data group
Plant stocks in the current period group control

6) Change the font size of the Current period label to match the related group box title size
and look.

7) Select the entire main tab strip control and hide it.

8) Select all the controls you moved outside the tab strip and change the Left in value to
0, then use the Align Objects editor feature to left align the screen.

9) Move the Back (F3) button from the standard toolbar to the User Area, positioning it
to the same place you had it in the Display Purchase Order flavor. Add the same label and
size it to match the PO display.

10) Hide all toolbars, the menu and the Services for object button (left to the screen
title) to finish the flavor.

11) Set it as the default for your user.
