List Shift Notes
Application component: Production Orders
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   You can use the List Processing function (transaction SHN4) to carry out targeted searches for shift notes with certain selection criteria. The system then shows the shift notes in list form. The list of shift notes additionally provides all the key processing functions for shift notes. 
Key features:  Different Views for Selection  You can now choose between the following views:  Basic Search  The Basic Search supports the inexperienced user in quickly finding the shift notes for a certain period.   In the basic search, the system uses all work centers or hierarchies for which the user has the authorization to display the shift notes and determines the shift notes for them within the selected evaluation period.  The evaluation period can be stipulated based on the current date through specification of a number of hours or days into the past or future.  In addition, a full-text search facility is available.  Advanced Search  The advanced search provides predefined queries for the experienced user. Thus, for example, you can search for shift notes for a certain work center or for a hierarchy.  In the advanced search, you have flexibility in your choice of evaluation period. The following options are possible:  Relative time specification  If you choose this option, the system shows the fields  Start in Past and  End in Future . From this data, the system then determines the evaluation period starting from the current date.   Relevant to today  If choose this option, the system selects only those shift notes that were created or changed today (between 0 hrs and now) or whose event period overlaps the current day.  Recurring time period  If you choose this option, you can choose a firm, regularly recurring period, such as the early shift of the last five days. For this purpose, the system shows the fields Period: Start Time and End Time , with which you can specify the exact time, and  Days in Past and  Days in Future , with which you can enter the desired number of days in the past or future respectively.   Period  If you choose this option, the system provides fields that enable you to specify any evaluation period you wish.  If you select the No Foreign Events checkbox, the system can filter out the shift notes with an event that lies outside the evaluation period. Such shift notes do not then appear in the list of shift notes.   No straddlers  A straddler is a shift note that was not created or changed within the evaluation period and whose start (start date/time of the event entered) lies before the start of the evaluation period and whose end (end date/time of the event entered) comes after the end of the evaluation period. Such shift notes thus "straddle" the evaluation period.  If you select the No Straddlers checkbox, the system filters out the straddlers and does not display such shift notes in the list.   If you do not select the checkbox, shift notes of this type are included in the list.  Customer's own selection criteria  The new BAdI COCF_BD_SN_LIST_CUSTSEL is additionally available. You can use it to extend the selection criteria by adding a customer's own section.   Comprehensive Search  The Comprehensive Search includes all the selection criteria that exist for the selection of shift notes.   In the Location area of the screen, you can stipulate selection criteria for work centers and hierarchies. It is also possible to expand a hierarchy by selecting the Expand Hierarchies checkbox. The system then determines all work centers for the stipulated hierarchy. The system then checks whether there are shift notes for these work centers and displays them in the list of shift notes.   In the Evaluation Period area, the Long-Runners option is offered in addition to those mentioned above.   Long-runners are shift notes containing entered events whose start date/time already lies in the past and that also have either a still-open event end or an already defined event end in the future.  If you choose this option, the system choolses all shift notes that are long-runners. In addition, you can specify as of when a shift note is to be treated as a long-runner in the Earliest Event End in the Future field.   The system then displays the long-runners in the list of shift notes. In addition, you can use the None with Open End and None with Defined End fields as filter criteria to exclude the affected shift notes from selection.   Further selection criteria are:  Category  Reference object  Shift note type and shift note number  Administrative data such as date of creation, reporter, or event date.  Display deleted shift notes  You can use this checkbox to search for shift notes that have been flagged for deletion. However, this checkbox is only offered if you have the enhanced authorizations. See also: Enhanced Authorizations for Experts     Functions in the List of Shift Notes  In the list of shift notes, you can execute various functions by selecting the desired shift note and then choosing the appropriate pushbutton. This applies to all functions except the creation of shift notes. The following functions are available:  Create Shift Note  After saving, the user is taken back to the list of shift notes. The new shift note is displayed at the end of the list. As a basic rule, the new shift note is always displayed - even if it does not satisfy the selection criteria for the list.  Copy Shift Note  With the Copy Shift Note pushbutton, you invoke the Create Shift Note transaction (SHN1). In the process, the system adopts the values for the plant, work center, category, and reference object from the shift note that you previously selected as a template. If change tracking is deactivated, the system also copies the long text. If change tracking is activated, the long text is not copied.
