Creation of Variants

hi friends,
How to create variants in webDynpro , as we have selection-screen variants in R/3.
Thanks&Regards,
janakiram.

Hi,
There is no such thing as variants in WDA, but you could possibly achieve partially similar functionality through some creative usage of customization/configuration of your application - assigning default values etc.

Mass Creation of Variants

I have hundreds of products that all have the same variant configurations, and I understandably don't want to pay someone to manually go through the WebTools interface to create all the variants. After looking through the WebTools database, I am planning on creating a little SQL script that will copy the variant information from one product to another.
1) Select all records from Variant table where ConfigPartNo = 'itemtocopyfrom'
2) Create new rows in Variant table that match the previously selected rows, switching out the ConfigPartNo to 'itemtocopyto'
3) For each of the first selected VariantIDs in the Variant table, Select all the records in the PartsVariant table where VariantID = VariantID
4) Duplicate each of those rows, substituting the new VariantID of the parts created in step 2
I can't find anyplace else that is affected by the creation of variants. Will this work, or is there a better way to approach this?
Thanks,
Derek

In case anybody else is interested, I whipped up this in Access VBA today. Basically all the form does is have two list boxes filled with all the products in WebTools. You can only select one from the FROM listbox, but you can select as many products in the TO listbox as you want. This code then loops through all of the selected TO products, duplicating all the variants settings of the FROM column.
My code is only lightly commented and does very little error checking, but it does the job. One thing to note if you end up using this code is that it doesn't check to see if it is duplicating variants, so if you click it twice or run it on a product that already has variants, it will add all of the variants from the FROM product.
Depending on how much I need to use this, I may extend it a little more so that I can choose to copy only certain variant categories rather than all variant categories, but we'll see. If I do anything significant, I'll hopefully remember to come post it here.
If anyone is interested in the original Access database that runs this, just send me an email at derek AT seatability DOT com and I'll send it over to you.

Delivery creation select variants must be checked

Hi Gurus,
in selection variants for delivery creation by batch were wrong on 2 points :
date selection was too large (till D30 instead of D5)
shipping point was incorrect.
Please help me

Goto T.Code SE38 and give the program name. You will find 4 options below and choose the variant and click the Change Button.
You will be in the next screen, here you will have the option to change the variant, now click the change button and change the Shipping point.
Once done save and back to the previous screen. Now press the Attributes button, this will take you to the screen where they have defined the Selection variable. You will find a Selection variable button on top of your screen, press that and this will take you to the next screen here you will find that the date has been maintained as D30, change this to D5 and save the variant.
Lo! you are done. verify the date one more time before you run the job and that's it.

Mani.

Creation of variant to paas on list of users using a table

Hello All,
I got a requirement to create a report in FI-GL with the requirement for selection and layout as follows and how to incorporate the same in the
List of Users (through variant) and Doc. Type (user input) :
To exclude transactions, which are not manual journal entries, a table should be created with exclusions.
*This table will contain two types of exclusions:*
Document types which will never been used for manual journal entries, since their nature is system related (SAP R/3 standard). In principle, this table will be fixed
List of Users
which are not related to persons, but to automatic transactions. This table needs to be verified and updated on regular basis.
Could any one suggest me how to do a vaiant for the user through a table and that too this table should ba updated on regular basis.

Dynamic creation of variant

Hi Friends,
      I need to schedule a report in background at runtime.... for that i got a function Module SUBST_SCHEDULE_GENERATOR
in this function module, we need to pass variant, but as the report is a BDC and should run for different values at every run, values i can get at runtime.Here i need to create a variant for those values ........so that i can pass it to the FM.
Is there any function module or any other way to create a variant at runtime.
or is there any other way to create a background job snd in that case how to pass screen fields..
Thanks & Best regards

Auth. resrict creation of variants in Selection screen of BEX

Hi Gurus,
Do you know how I can restrict users from creating variants in the BEX?
Thanks!

Hi,
In NetWeaver BI 7.0 authorization object S_RS_PARAM must be maintained for the user so that the user can create a variant.
But in your case you want to restrict user from creating a variant.
So, in that case authorization object S_RS_PARAM should not be maintained for the user to restrict them from creating variants in BEx.
For reference check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/3e243c0fc9072fe10000000a155369/content.htm

DYNAMIC CREATION OF VARIANTS

Hi All,
i want to run the report in the back ground and the selection screen having the date as selct-options
and i want to put highest date as yesterday for every day when i run in back ground, then how can i create the variant dynamically where the highest date is varying.
regards
Krishna

As per what i understand, you want the high value of the date field to be populated with yesterday's date.
In that case, what should be the low value?
There are 2 ways you can achieve this.
1st Method
1. Create a variable in TVARVC with TYPE as 'S'.
2. Populate the same variable in the INITIALIZATION event of your program.
3. Create a variant and use the Variable populated above.
2nd Method
1. Populate the date field with the reqd values in the INITIALIZATION event of your
    program.
2. Create a variant and in the variant, choose "Save field without values" for the date
    field in the selection screen.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Balaji

MB1B: Variant transaction is not showing the message of document creation

Dear MM EXPERTS n GURUS,
When we create any document using T-Code MB1B, on successful posting it gives a message: Message no. M7060, Document 4900556951 has been saved and is stored in the database.
Now, we have created an variant of this Transaction (ZMB1B) and assigned this Z-Transaction to the user. Original Transaction (MB1B), has been blocked for that user, because - user should use only ZMB1B.
Problem is that after saving the document in Z-Transaction, user come out to main screen (SAP EASY ACCESS Screen) with a message You are not authorized to use transaction MB1B Message no. S#077
While document has been saved in database.
Why it is not showing the message - Message no. M7060, Document 4900556951 has been saved and is stored in the database.
Thanks in advance.
DSC

Dear GURUS n EXPERTS,
As I have mentioned in my previous thread - After creation of Variant if I block or not assigned the original T-Code i.e. MB1B, system gives message Message no. S#077 You are not authorized to use T-Code MB1B.
If I don't block the or assigned the Original T-code, there is chance to user will use original T-Code instead of variant.
How can we solve this problem.
Please advice.
With thanks,
DSC

Variant Creation in Transaction MB51

Dear All,
I faced one Issue during creation of Variant in MB51 Transaction is like Below.
In Posting date field From to To in that i required from date is fixed and To date is Dynamic (Current date - 3)
So how can i set this?
In Variants we can give dynamic date calculator to calculate date as we required.
Does there is a option to add more selection option (ie if I have to add a Fixed date , Current date -3).
Where I can do this?
Regards,
Murari Shah

Hi,
> In Posting date field From to To in that i required from date is fixed and To date is Dynamic (Current date - 3)
Follow as following,enter your From date & Select Save as Variant, New window appears, there enter your Variant Name & Short Text,
Now Select Posting date from the Selection Screen-Field Name, there go to 3rd last column for "Selection variable" in posting date line & press F4 over there & select "D: Dynamic date calculation",
Now go to last column " Name of Variable" press F4, new screen appears, in that scroll down & double click on "Date - xxx, Date + yyy (work days)" or also you can use "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy", New window opens, here enter the values in numbers w.r.t. date,
If you want to Consider today's date always then put 0 in the first field or you can put addition of no. off days as per your choice, then in second field put 3(system will add 3 days from today date),
Then in field " Work days are determined according to factory calndr." enter "IN", press enter & save your variant, then execute again MB51 after coming out of all screens & check whether you requirement is achieved.

Background job is cancelled dut o variant not exist

Dear friends,
In my program I have created a variant using FM 'RS_VARIANT_CREATE', and after the creation of variant , i'm submitting the job immediately, but the job get canceled with error message, specified variant is not defined.
when i checked the VARID table the variant gets updated, the time differnce is approximately 8 sec for both varaint creation and job start timre. Can any one face this type of issue, could any one help on this.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Right after you create your variant use the statement COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
If it doesn't work you can do something like this
While f_found = space.
select * from varid
where report = 'XYZ'
and variant = 'MYVAR'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
f_found = 'X'.
else.
wait up to 1 seconds.
endif.
endwhile.
I still think try COMMIT WORK AND WAIT after calling RS_VARIANT_CREATE.
Kind regards,
Marius

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Hi developers,
if i create a variant for execute a query in BI 7.0 with flag for user the system work, while I create a global variant I have problem with the authorization. There are specifics authorizations object for the creation of variant global or are necessaries particular objects.
Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance
Domenico

Hi Domenico,
If its authorization problem, try and consult your Basis team. Specify them for which transaction (or) rather for which objects you are having the authorization issues. I guess they should help U with it.
Hope this will help.
