• Key Concepts: 
  Selection method is a feature of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP that allows users to define and maintain selection criteria for a database table. It enables users to select specific records from a database table based on certain criteria. The selection method can be used to filter data from a database table, or to restrict access to certain records. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the selection method, users must first define the selection criteria in the ABAP Dictionary. This can be done by creating a selection method in the ABAP Dictionary and then defining the criteria for the selection. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then use the selection method to filter data from a database table or restrict access to certain records. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a selection method, it is important to ensure that the criteria are defined correctly. This will ensure that only the desired records are selected from the database table. Additionally, it is important to remember that the selection method can be used to both filter data and restrict access, so it is important to consider both when creating a selection method.
