Symptom
-
Filtering PO line items using two separate conditions in the Material field returns results that match either condition instead of both
-
expects the filter to apply AND logic but system returns OR behavior
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
-
Open the Manage Purchase Orders app.
-
In the filter bar, enter two separate conditions in the Material field.
-
Execute.
-
Observe that results include materials matching either of the entered values, not both.
Cause
The filters support multiple values but interprets them using OR logic. The system does not combine multiple values as an AND condition. This is standard design for the filter framework.
Resolution
When an AND-style filter is required, users must combine the conditions into a single filter expression using wildcard characters (*) where applicable.
General approach:
<Condition1>*<Condition2>
This format:
-
Applies both criteria within one filter value
-
Allows the system to interpret the full string as a single pattern
