Operation Catalog - Detail
Click a code in the Operation Catalogs list to open its Object Page detail view. This view follows the SAP Fiori Object Page pattern and is divided into a header area and a set of sections presented as tabs. The page opens in display mode by default; click the Edit button to switch to edit mode.
Header
The header displays the key facts about the operation at a glance:
- Resource — a facet showing the default resource assigned to the operation.
- Operation Type — a facet showing the assigned operation type.
- Last Modified — a facet showing the date and time of the most recent modification.
The header toolbar contains the Edit, New, Delete and Duplicate actions.
Which sections are shown is driven by the selected Operation Type: Subcontracting appears only for external operation types, the Times and Quantities sections are hidden for time-less operation types, and a Milestone section appears for milestone operation types.
Body
The sections shown depend on the operation type, as the note above explains.
Deletion is permanent, and an operation referenced by a routing or a work order takes those references with it. Review the dependencies before deleting one.
