Default Selection Variant

Hi All,
I might be missing something obvious here but here goes...
Is there a way to set a default selection variant (e.g. for transaction code ME57 (RM06BZ00)) by user? Do I have to program this or is there any easier way?
Using ECC 5.0
Thanks,
Niall

Taking Rob's idea a little further, you could write a wrapper program and assign it to transaction code ZME57. Here is the code for the wrapper program.
report zrich_0001 .
start-of-selection.
data: report type rsvar-report value 'RM06BZ00',
        variant type rsvar-variant .
variant = sy-uname.
submit (report) via selection-screen
                using selection-set variant
                       and return.
Here the wrapper program is submitting your report using the variant that is named after the user id.

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.

Selection Variant for Standard transaction

Hi,
The requirement is that, On starting a standard transaction the initial selection screen should appear with a default selection variant selected in it.

Prabaharan.G

Sudhir,
Are you sure about that ? I think the the SHD0 transaction creates screen variants only for "normal" screens, dialog boxes, and subscreens . Not for List display (and selection screens) ..
I read this at - <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7d/f639fe015111d396480000e82de14a/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7d/f639fe015111d396480000e82de14a/content.htm</a>
For example try and create a transaction variant for standard transaction FBL1N (make the Company code field Output only) .. is it possible ?
Will someone please verify.

Create cross-client selection variant

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to create a cross-client selection variant. I am trying to run a report with a default selection variant but will require the variant to be available in all clients. I'm working on an R/3 release 4.6b system.
Regards,
Andy.

Hi,
Create variant prefixing "CUS&" followed by variant name, this will create a system variant and ask for a TR. the variant thus created will be available in all clients, If not you can just import the Tr created to all client using transaction SCC1.
Award points if found usefull

How do you make report selection variant the default selection varaint?

Hello all,
I know how to create a Selection Variant for reoprts and I know how to create a User Variable that defaullts field values for a specific user. But can anyone tell me how do you have a specific Report Selection Variant Default for everyone? I know this one is probably staring right at me but I'm not seeing it. Your help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Bhatia,
That will only hold the data for that specific user. You can also do that via "user variables". What I would like to know is how do you get it to be the default for All users.
I am investigating the possibility of using t-code SE38 and changing the Values on the existing variants to contain the default data we'd like to see. I'd much rather create just one Variant per report and have that be the default variant.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Dynamic creation of date in selection variant

Hi All,
I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field.
Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
Thanks
Sankar

As I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
See the help for variables
Selection Variables
The following three types of selection variables are currently
    supported:
o   Table variables from TVARV
        You should use these variables if you want to store static
        information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.
o   Dynamic date calculations:
        To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have
        type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D
        when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is
        no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using
        the input help.
        The system currently supports the following dynamic date
        calculations:
        Today's date
       From beginning of the month to today
       Today's date +/- x days
       First quarter ????
       Second quarter ????
       Third quarter ????
       Fourth quarter ????
       Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy
       Previous month
o   User-specific variables
       Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the
       program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,
       which can be created either from the selection screen or from the
       user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding
       selection fields when the user runs the program.
The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that
   fill select-options fields with single values.
i.e means we can do that with D also.

Unable to set default layout variant in POWL

Hi Experts
We have performed below activity in POWL_QUERY to assign default layout variant.
1. Choose Layout variant.
2. A browser window for the POWL_MASTER_QUERY appears.
3. Change the sap-config-mode from "X" to "config" within the URL.
4. Now you can define your layout variant and save your changes.
5. Log on to the Customizing client and start transaction POWL_QUERY.
6. Assign your created layout variant in the Layout selection field.
But Still I am not able to see selected layout.
I am using NWBC 4.0 and NW - 7.02.
Please advice.
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi!
          We have same problem!
         The layout can be selected in application, but it is not taken as default.
     We appreciate your feedback
Best Regards.

CATS_APPR_LITE - Default Selection Criteria?

Hi Gurus,
I could use a little help setting the default selection criteria fields for the CATS_APPR_LITE transaction. Please provide directions on how after choosing selection fields desired by business ( i.e. Time Administrator) how to make the chosen selection fields the default for all users. It does not appear this can be done through the variants (unless I am missing something). Please help.
Thanks.

Hi
For making a DEP default to a particular employee make use of the IT0105 where you define the system ID of the employee and when the employee opens the cat2 sheet it refers to the sysytem id and opens the particular DEp assigned to him only.

Default a Variant to all Users

Hi Gurus,
Requirement: My company is setting up the new DC (Distribution centre). Users use transaction WA08 to create PO based on allocation table. Now we want to create separate PO for DC. There is a check box already available (WA08>Vendor Purchase Order Tab>Generate Separate PO for each (Distribution Centre).
Now we want to tick this check box for each and every user. Please note that we do not want to create a Z transaction for this purpose.
I think there is a way, where we can set a default variant and assigne that to each users so that when any user use transaction WA08, he doesn't need to tick the check box.
It would be a great help if some one please let me know the process to do that.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi Chandra,
Thanks for your response.
I tried to first use this transaction and selected transaction variant tab, enter the name as ZWA08 and press the create
button which takes me to the wa08 screen where i could tick the required field and saved it.
This also generated a default screen variant like ZWA08_0281.
I also created a variant group ZVARGRP and assigned my user id to it.
When i click on the transaction button on this screen it give me message "Variant group ZVARGRP is not used in transactions".
Chandra, it would be a great help if you can kindly provide me to follow the steps as i am not able to do it.
May be i am not doing it in a proper sequence.
Please also let me know if i need to assign var group for each and every user one by one or is there a way to do it in one go.
Regards,
Sunil

Default Layout Variant

Hi Friends,
What is a default layout variant? How to create one?
Thanks in advance.
Tamilarasan

hi, something additional to Raja input.
you can load a layout for ALV in programing way.
the ALV variant be stored in table V_LTDX, you can select out the variant record from it. So you can call the ALV with some difference, code like following:
DATA: L_LAYOUT TYPE DISVARIANT.
L_LAYOUT-REPORT = SY-REPID.
L_LAYOUT-USERNAME = XXXX. "user name
L_LAYOUT-VARIANT = XXXX. "the variant name you saved
CALL METHOD GO_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
EXPORTING I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT'
IS_VARIANT = L_LAYOUT
Then the ALV will be display as the layout you want, without special choose.
Hope it will be helpful.
thanks a lot

MM - me21n Selection variant in document overview

Hello,
I would like to ask you whether it is possible to set up the Document overview in me21n as follows:
"Open Purchase Requisitions" to be shown immediately in overview, once me21n screen opened. So there will not be any need for using the selection variant manually and choose the purchase requisitions manually.
Thank you
Katarina

CN41 default display variant

Hello,
I have been struggling with this request for a while.
We just upgraded from 46B to ECC60. for report CN41, the user want to setup a default display variant so every time they logon, they don't need to manually pick a display variant. In the 46B version, you can save a variant as a default variant through variant management on the report display page. But in the ECC60, it's gone. I tried and tried, but there is no way I can find to save a variant as default in the ECC60 version. Also, the users don't want to have the project expanded to WBS levels at all when they execute the report. They want all the projects to be collapsed when they execute the report. I don't know how to set this up either.
I tried cn41n, but you can't do drill down and can't make the projects all collapsed either.
Please help.
I have tried every way I could and can't find the solution.
thanks in advance.

Hi Cindy
Assuming that I understood your issue.here is the solution for one of your troubles.
1) In the CN41 report Menu bar click on Evaluation --> Get Profiles/Variant
2) In the pop-up that opens up note the subprofile you are using for displayed fields
3) Goto SPRO --> PS --> Info Systems --> Technical project reports --> Define profiles for displayed fields --> select structure overview --> enter the subprofile you are using for displayed fields --> Add the fields you want to be defaulted as new entries -- SAVE.
4) Once you have done this go back to the profiles/variant screen and select the profile once again
This should solve your issue

IH01 default screen variant for all users

Hi,
I want location hierarchy, equipment installed and BOM explosion checked in the transaction IH01 for all users. I can do this through a screen variant but the user will have to choose it every time he enters this transaction. Is there a way that the above fields default as checked everything a user enters the t-code? I looked for it in SPRO and could not find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ajay

hi
if the variant you have created is the only one available then it will display to all the user,but the if some other variant is there with user name then it will be displayed for the user logged on .
only thing is don't authorize the user to create the variant
from SAP help:
Each user can also create their own selection screen. The selection screen defined by you is only then proposed by the system, if no individual selection screen has been defined for the user under their user name.
If you want to define an individual selection screen for each user, and the user-specific selection screen should be proposed automatically when the report is called up, the name of the report variant must begin with U_USERNAME.
Maintenance of selection variants
When you execute the function, you reach the initial screen with all the selection fields. There you can define the standard selection screen. This selection screen is then always proposed if no individual selection screen has been defined for the user under the name U_USERNAME.

thyagarajan

Default Screen Variant

Hi FI Gurus,
Can you please suggest me how can we put any given variant as default for transaction S_ALR_87013614. I mean to say that whenever I execute this transaction, system must respond with the required variant, so that i dont need to select variant every time.
Regards,
Vikash

Go to SHD0 and create a transaction variant and put it under standard variant. Note this will effect all the users who executes the s-Alr- report, this can also be restyricted to particular users only

SAP PM T codes IH01 & IH03 default selection change

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how can I change default selected parameters of transaction codes IH01 & IH03 without variant option?
E.g. I want to have checked or selected Installed equipment selection option of IH01 or IH03.
I do not want to use variant for this.
Regards,
Kedar

Hi Kedar,
As earlier suggested, variant option is a solid part for selection variant.
Let me tell you some info if you about to change SAP_TCODE_IH01 variants?
All reporting transaction will have a standard variant which starts with SAP... if you about to do any changes, it will affect globally. So normally clients prefer to keep this variant as blank. So any kind of users can use this variant to get datas.
Also they will maintain additional global variant, which you create by keeping \ in front of the varint name. They will create varint with respect to their requirement.
Highly recommeded is to keep the Stnadard variant globally and create new variant for different purpose.
