On transaction FBL3N report change layout and save layout icons not activ

Hi,
I am working on upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC6.0. On transaction FBL3N report change layout and save layout icons not active; only select layout icon is active.
Please advise how these two icons can be activated.

Hi,
The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70.
Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
most restricted one: You can only select layouts which have
been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
named above are inactive with activity 03.
I guess that your user-id have set activity 03 for this object.
The SAP notes 374656 and 409190 are recommended.
So, if the values 01 and 02 are not included, then
the user can't change and save layouts.
For the line item display in FI the authorization
object FI_IT_ALV has been created as an extra security check in addi-
tion to the ALV authorization object S_ALV_LAYO.
Please check note 374656 where you should be able to find
relevant info about this. Also note 637554 should be helpful.

Aidan

IN ALV Report 'SAVE LAYOUT' option missing

Dear All,
I have created one report in ALV GRID using ABAP OBJECTS(Using class CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER and
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID).But in output when i click on change layout option i am not getting SAVE layout option.
I have already passed I_SAVE parameter = 'A' while calling metod SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY. But i didnt worked.
Please do needful.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi,
You can manage display variants by using parameters, is_variant and i_save of set_table_for_first_display. Here are options for variant handling. <structure_name> is the variant-defining structure of type DISVARIANT. The field report in this structure should contain the value of sy-repid.
Hope this helps. Reward points if helpful.
Thanks,

REporting - Change Layout

How Do Everyone!
I am currently amending an existing ABAP report. I notice
when I run this report that there are three icons on
the tool bar. Change / Select / Save layouts.
When you press the change layout icon, a pop up appears
displaying two columns. 1) Columns 2) Column Set
Can anyone tell me where I can change the Column Set to
add more fields into this.
Cheers
Andy

Andy
Basically in the layout setting you have two windows "Column" (LHW) and "Column Set" (RHW). LHW lists the columns which are displayed in the layout while RHW has the fields which are available for display but not selected so far.
If you are building your ALV list via ABAP code in the field catalog for the paritcular field you need to set
the no_out parameter to 'X'.

ALV report - copy layout to another user

Hello,
I have a question about ALV reports.
In ALV we have option to select layout and save it by user-specific.
How to copy this layout to another user?
Is there some function/Bapi?
Thanks in advance,
Michal

Hi Michael,
Here are the steps I documented for managing this procedure:
First Step is to READ the Layout into the Program
 The parameters for the layout can be found in table LTDX
Goto SE37 and enter: LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX
When (READ) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
An example is shown below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
Execute.
Now our next step is to WRITE the information from the program into table: LTDX
While at the Function Builder Screen enter the new function module: LT_DBDATA_WRITE_TO_LTDX
When you (WRITE) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
When completed, your input screen for (WRITE) should look like the screen below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
IMPORTANT When entering information for IS_VARKEY, remember to use the u201Cnew useru201D ID
When entering information for IS_VARIANT, remember to enter information exactly as found in table LTDX and remember that the parameter: DEPENDVARS may be needed to complete your entry
Now Execute the Function Module. When completed go to table: LTDX and confirm that your new entry has been added.
Pre Checklist:
1.) Capture entries (users) you want to copy from table: LTDX
2.) Make sure you have access to execute function modules/eCATT scripts
3.) Make sure you have table display access (needed to find and validate updates)
If you'd like the documentation with screen shots please reply with your email address.
Cheers,
Robert

Download ALV report with layout to application server

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
I have one ALV Grid report. This report is very time consuming.
That is why, user wants this to be run in background every night and in the morning when user comes to the office that ALV report should be on user's drive in excel format.
However, it should run with one specific variant and that variant should be dynamically populated. (I have handled this part)
It should also apply specific layout that has many filtering conditions.
As I can not download ALV to excel in background, I decided to download it to the Application server.
My problem is that when run in background, in spool ALV report shows o/p with proper filter conditions that is 5 out of 20 records.
But, when I write this report o/p to Application server, it writes all the records in there, i.e., all 20 records. It does not take into account all the filters. [:(]
I also tried downloading spool to excel, but o/p is not neatly formatted. All columns are fying here and there.
Any suggestion, how can I write ALV o/p to Application server with layout into consideration?
P.S. I have searched forum for this type of query, but no apt responses.
Thanks

did u downloaded the report with standard option provided in the alv and checked the data? that is populating all 20 records?. if so then use coding for achieving the standard one
at the end of selection do like this ..
SET USER-COMMAND ' %PC' .
and in the user-command use like this..
case sy-ucomm.
when ' %PC'.
give the file name ..
do processing ..
endcase.

Cost Center field in ME55 Report (Change Layout)

Hi all,
In ME55 (Collective Release for PReq) Cost Center is available as one of the "Selection fields", but it's (Cost Center field) NOT available in Change Layout Function (after you execute the report).
The requirement is the user want to see the Cost Center field in the ME55 report layout instead of having to drill down to each PR to see the Cost Center assigned to the PR Account Assignment.
Since Cost Center field in NOT available in the Change Layout function of ME55, How do I add it to the layout? Do I need enhancement? If so what do i need to do?
Thanks in advance

Hai,
Please copy the RM06BF00 into zRM06BF00 & take help of your software engineer/abaper for modification of this program for adding cost center in the output.
With Regards,
Jaheer.

'Save layout' button missing in the ALV report layout screen

Hi Friends,
 In one of our ALV report the 'save layout' button is missing in the report output screen.i have used the OO concept for creating the ALV output and not the function module.I have attached the code below used for creating the ALV grid.
CREATE OBJECT alv_grid
 EXPORTING i_parent = g_container_2.
CALL METHOD alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
 exporting
 i_structure_name = 'PA0002'
 is_layout =
 CHANGING
 it_outtab = gt_outtab
 it_fieldcatalog = wa_fieldcat.
But i'm not able to trace why the 'save layout' button is missing in the output.Can anyone of you help me in sorting out this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Vadivel.

Pass A to I_SAVE parameter. That will give the options to the user to save the layout outs.
I_SAVE = SPACE
Layouts cannot be saved.
I_SAVE = 'U'
Only user-defined layouts can be saved.
I_SAVE = 'X'
Only global layouts can be saved.
I_SAVE = 'A'
Both user-defined and global layouts can be saved.
Regards,
Ravi

Control User Specific button in ALV report

Hi,
Can anybody please suggest me how to control "USER SPECIFIC" button in ALV report layout using authorization object. I mean if you can tell me which authorization object is responsible to control the "USER SPECIFIC" button.

additional info to what Lakshmi already said:-
normally the restrictions for saving layouts/display variants are done at 2 levels:
1) The developer of an ALV list first predetermines the authorization in the 'i_save' parameter within the code.
I_SAVE = ' '     -
layouts cannot be saved
I_SAVE = 'A'   -
user-specific and cross-user layouts can be saved
I_SAVE = 'X'   --- cross-user layouts can be saved
I_SAVE = 'U' --- user-specific layouts can be saved
2) The second level comes to us restriciting the S_ALV_LAYO which gives access to users to save global layouts if I_SAVE for that particular transaction is A or X.
for example, a report has I_SAVE= 'A', which means
it will allow to save User-specific layouts without any restrictions.
and if user has S_ALV_LAYO then he can save both User-Specific and Global Layouts(variants).
it would be better to keep this object separate.

Add $ and % to fields in ALV report

Hi,
How to add $ and % sybmbols to field values in ALV report. I cannot use a Char as I need to do totals and subtotals for those fields.
Best Regards
Suresh

Hi,
You cannot use % or $ or any special characters if you want to use the standard SAP totaling ans subtotaling.. you need to create another field adjacent to that field and show the currency or %.
Otherwise you need to do the totaling logic yourself and then you can use $ or %
Cheers:)

FBL3N change layout and save layout icons not active

You are missing an authorization object in your user profile. Run FBL3N and then run SU53 to see which auth obj is missing. Then send those details to your Security.

Displaying an ALV report using a saved layout.

Dear friends
In ALV report there are 2 standard buttons.
One says "select Layout CTRLF9" and another one says "Save Layout CTRLF10".
Using this I can select the layout and save it using some variable.
Now I want to create a field in the main screen so that when
I enter this saved name and run the ALV report, it should show
report using the layout I entered selected (which was saved earlier).
Where will this variable get saved and how can i access this and make it
display using this layout.
Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hide Change Layout Button in ALV report o/p for MB52 Tcode

Hi,
Is it possible to Hide Change Layout Button in ALV output for Report MB52 using authoriztaion.
We have created a layout in which we are hiding some coloumns which the user should not see.
But if the change layout button is active then the user can add those coloumns to output.
Is this possible through authorizations. I want to avoid doing any chnages to the std sap program.
Thanks & Regards,
Fawaz
