Creating a User-defined Selection variant for Transaction ME21N

Hi,
In transaction ME21N with the 'Document Overview' feature turned on we can view a list of standard selection variants. I would like to add a user-defined selection variant to that list. There is an OSS Note 377180 present which describes how to do that but(as per transaction SNOTE) that note cannot be implemented in our system. Is there any other way to get that done?
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alam.

So I am having a similar issue. I have a fixed length flat file with 3 different record types.
1 a header ( length is 82 bytes with the first byte set to H ( single record always the first )
2 a detail record ( length is 382 bytes ) with the first byte set to D ( multiple records )
3 a trailer record ( length is 82 bytes ) with the first byte set to T ( single record always the last )
I created a UD OTD with 3 elements for each record type, RECORD_TYPE is the first field 1 byte. Matching for each on either H,D, or T. When I try and test the OTD with the Run Test button I get an unmarshal error
<SOD>""<POS>"HACCUMULAT..." failed input match, Fog#431, after <no path>: failed node: trailing junk in fixed/parent
HACCUMULATED BENEFIT TRANSACTION FILE 20080801 20080825 0 0

Not sure whats going on, so if anyone has any suggestions on where to look that would be great
Thanks

Create a user-defined selection variant in transaction ME21N

I would suggest that you replay the transaction with breaks, so that you can see exactly what is happening (in the start options, set the SAPGUI replay options to stop at each ProcessedScreen)
It may be that the Selection Variant button is not present during replay. In this case, you would need to make the step where this button is pressed as optional.
ME21N is a difficult transaction to automate because it always remembers what you were last doing in it and restarts the transaction from that point. You can delete the user settings (so you always start the transaction as though for the first time) using the following code in your script:
ABAP.
* Delete all User-Settings in MM
DELETE FROM ESDUS WHERE UNAME = SY-UNAME.
* Delete all User-Settings in search help
DELETE FROM DDSHDEFSH WHERE USERNAME = SY-UNAME.
ENDABAP.

User defined Selection screen for Logical database

hi all,
 can we display a user defined selection screen instead of the default selection screen in LDB . eg pnp
cheers
senthil

Hi,
to my knowledge, the selection screen of a logical database can only be changed (versions!) in the logical database itself.
What you can do is, write a program with your own selection screen an then either call another program that uses the LDB or - much better - you call the LDB from your program with function module LDB_PROCESS!
Example taken from the example library (TA ABAPDOCU):
REPORT demo_logical_database.
DATA wa_spfli TYPE spfli.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_carr FOR wa_spfli-carrid.
DATA: callback TYPE TABLE OF ldbcb,
 callback_wa LIKE LINE OF callback.
DATA: seltab TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
 seltab_wa LIKE LINE OF seltab.
callback_wa-ldbnode = 'SPFLI'.
callback_wa-get = 'X'.
callback_wa-get_late = 'X'.
callback_wa-cb_prog = sy-repid.
callback_wa-cb_form = 'CALLBACK_SPFLI'.
APPEND callback_wa TO callback.
CLEAR callback_wa.
callback_wa-ldbnode = 'SFLIGHT'.
callback_wa-get = 'X'.
callback_wa-cb_prog = sy-repid.
callback_wa-cb_form = 'CALLBACK_SFLIGHT'.
APPEND callback_wa TO callback.
seltab_wa-kind = 'S'.
seltab_wa-selname = 'CARRID'.
LOOP AT s_carr.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING s_carr TO seltab_wa.
APPEND seltab_wa TO seltab.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_PROCESS'
 EXPORTING
 ldbname = 'F1S'
 variant = ' '
 TABLES
 callback = callback
 selections = seltab
 EXCEPTIONS
 ldb_not_reentrant = 1
 ldb_incorrect = 2
 ldb_already_running = 3
 ldb_error = 4
 ldb_selections_error = 5
 ldb_selections_not_accepted = 6
 variant_not_existent = 7
 variant_obsolete = 8
 variant_error = 9
 free_selections_error = 10
 callback_no_event = 11
 callback_node_duplicate = 12
 OTHERS = 13.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
WRITE: 'Exception with SY-SUBRC', sy-subrc.
ENDIF.
FORM callback_spfli USING name TYPE ldbn-ldbnode
 wa TYPE spfli
 evt TYPE c
 check TYPE c.
CASE evt.
 WHEN 'G'.
 WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-connid, wa-cityfrom, wa-cityto.
 ULINE.
 WHEN 'L'.
 ULINE.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
FORM callback_sflight USING name TYPE ldbn-ldbnode
 wa TYPE sflight
 evt TYPE c
 check TYPE c.
WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-seatsocc, wa-seatsmax.
ENDFORM.

User-defined selection list support in HA Release 6.5

Dear all, As in Hyperion Wired for OLAP v4.1.2 and Hyperion Analyzer Release 5.0.3, it can allow users to create user-defined selection list for a dimension under "Advanced" option of Cube Navigator, is there the same function in Hyperion Analyzer Release 6.5? If no, is there any turnaround or alternative?Thanks for your help.Regards, Zero

Hello,
You must have defined user command for the radio button. This is not required. Just try putting it in at selection screen. AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP rgp1.
the moment the user clicks the radio button it will go to this event and call the screen. Just use AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

Hi Oscar ,
You need to create optional date prompt variable in BW which fills your requirement .
Ex : If you require report should always run for 1st of the month to last of month .Then create Optional date variable in BW with interval .write customer exit ,
if from date is left blank it should take 1st of the month and if todate is left blank it should take last of the month .
when creating webi schedules , leave prompts as blank.

Display variant for transaction FBL3N - can it be protected?

Hi,
I have made a display variant for transaction FBL3N (G/L account line item display).
Can I protect this variant?
I don't like other users to overwrite it.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Line layout variants depend on a few things.
1 authorizations.
you need to make sure general users cannot change the standard layout. This is done via settings, layout, administration.
2. Personal variants, you can create your own variant and set it up just for yourself.
This can be done by selecting the user specifc tick box. The naming will have to be different but a user wont be able to see or change your variant.
3. Lastly you can set your variant in FB00, however all this does is assign a variant to a user, someone with either the correct authorization or a variant that is not a user specific one COULD be changed.
Hope this helps.
Please award points if useful.

User-defined fields in Enjoy transactions

Hi,
we have created two user-defined fields and added these in the entry variant for Enjoy transactions. However, we would like the fields to show with fewer characters. We have tried to reduce the length in the entry variant, but it seems that you cannot do this. We do not want to reduce the length of the field in the database.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Moly

User Exit to add user-defined selection critieria onto VL10G

Does anyone know how to add user-defined selection criteria onto VL10G - Sales and purchase order display screen? OSS note 524424 states the userexit to transfer user-defined selection criteria from the selection screen to the report but no information on how to add the selection criteria on the screen. Is that something can be done through configuration or user-exit?
Any advice or sample is greatly appreciated.

I was in a hurry, I forgot to add, the user role specific selection screen assignment to VL10G is done at "delivery scenario" level
The delivery scenarios that are predefined in the system can be found under Logistics Execution -> Outbound Process -> Goods Issue for Outbound Delivery -> Outbound Delivery -> Create -> Collective Processing of Documents for Shipment.
You can make the following settings in a delivery scenario:
Selection screen
You can use the selection screen parameters to define the appearance of the selection screen used to select the delivery list.
There are three combinations of selection parameters available that each include a different number of tabs.
A long selection screen with no tabs
A selection screen with three tabs
A selection screen with six tabs
The selection criteria is the same on all three screens in the standard system, it is simply arranged differently.
This parameter also triggers scheduling of the report for processing the delivery list, with the same three available tab options.
Customer enhancements are also possible in the LV50R_PREFZ1 program, which should be triggered from a delivery scenario.
User role
In the standard system, a predefined user role is assigned to each delivery scenario. If necessary, you can copy these user roles into your own user roles, make changes as required, and then assign them to a delivery scenario of your choice.
If the user role assignment for a delivery scenario is changed in Customizing, the new settings are valid for all users that carry out this delivery scenario.

Transporting user defined selection screen from one server to another

Hi,
Krishna, All the Objects(prms,classes,tables,stru...) will be transported thru Transport Objects only..
Check Utilities->version->Version Mgt -> Here u will have the Transport number(if it's created under trnasportable obj).If you do not find TP no,then u would hav saved that as a Local Object.
Then Relase the TP no from SE10 Trnx.

Transaction Variant for Transaction FV60 (Parked AP Invoice)

Hi All:
I have been successful in creating a transaction variant for transaction code FV60 (Park AP Invoice). My objective was to get rid of the post and save as completed buttons on the FV60 screen. But when I simulate the document, the post and save as completed buttons appear again and I have been unsuccessful in getting rid of these and deactivating/hiding them.
Can anyone please help me or has anyone done this before?
you help is very appreciated
thanks
Brian

Hi you can hide the button as follows;
While doing SHDO Variant Creation , in the confirm screen entries dialog press Menu Functions button and in the dialog expand Function setting tree and select BU (POST) and press Deactivate button (or F2 key) then select PBBP(Save as completed) and press F2 again.
Now save the variant and activate it.
Now check the tcode, those two buttons will be hidden.
This will solve your problem.

Selection variant for a report painter

Hi,
I created a report painter report. I want to create a default selection variant for a specific user. For example, I want user GIRARDJU to have company code=ADM, period 6 to period 13. I tried to create a variant and call it U_GIRARDJU but it doesn't work like it does for the standard SAP reports...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Julien

Hi,
First go to the report you have created.
Then save the selection criteria you want & give an appropriate name to your variant (eg: /INOKA).
When you execute the report next time, this variant will be there, & by double clicking it you'll get the saved information.
Best regards,
Inoka.

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I use LabVIEW 7)?

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I
use LabVIEW 7)?

Hi,
Take a look at this example, it uses property nodes to select tha
active plot and then changes the color of that plot.
If you want to make the number of plots dynamic you could use a for
loop and an array of color boxes.
I hope this helps.

Problem with user defined selection-screens

Hi,
in my case, i have a default selection screen and a user defined selection screen. Now, after selecting a radio button in default selection screen, the user defined selection screen is called. after executing it report output is displayed. now if i press f3 (back) it is going to default selection screen. here my requirement is, when i press f3 it should go to the user defined selection.
Can u plz help me solve this.
bye n regards
sree

Any modifications to screen 1000 will be lost the next time the program is generated.
When the user hits the back key from the report output, your ABAP is restarted just like when you originally started it. That is why you are getting the default selection screen again.
Use the AT USER-COMMAND event. When BACK is hit from the report, use the SUBMIT command to re-execute the program, passing it the selections from the default selection screen. Leave out the RETURN option.
For help on filling the selection screen during SUBMIT, help is available at
