Fields for Selection, Search, and Sort Functions in SAP FICO

For selecting, searching, and sorting, you can determine which fields should be displayed for every function separately. You can also determine the sequence in which the fields appear in the selection screen and you can enter the required field description.

All the specifications needed for these functions are already contained in the standard system. You can change or add to these predefined entries.

The figure below shows the selection screen for the open items and the selection fields that are possible (see figure 1 below). In the figure above this, you can see the specification as to which fields should be displayed for selection (see figure 2 below). An accounting clerk will often want to specify the gross amount or a document number for selection. That is why these fields were placed at the beginning of the field list.
