Create your own private folder in Customizing.
_______________________________________________________
a) Tools→ Customizing → IMG → Execute Project → SAP Reference IMG→ Logistics - General → Batch Management → Worklist → Define Worklist Folder
What does the flag public mean?
You can differentiate between public and private worklist folders. Folders can be assigned to any number of users. The content of a public folder can be viewed and edited by all users assigned to it. In private folders only those batches that the user has assigned can be displayed.
2. Assign the public folder PUBL to your user.
Assign your newly created private folder to your user.
a) Logistics - General→ Batch Management → Worklist → Assign Worklist Folder to Users(BMUW)

Task 2: Using the Batch Information Cockpit
Use the Batch Information Cockpit to select and edit batches.
1. Call up the Batch Information Cockpit transaction. Select batches of materials in Plant 1100 that start with the letter “T”, and end with your group number.
a) Logistics→ Central Functions → Batch Management → Tools → Batch Information Cockpit (BMBC)
