Default variant

Hi All,
I have created a variant for VA01 Transaction and selected fields which we need Using configuration button activated the variant and it is available throughout the client.. and it is working fine.
I want to know how to make this variant as default for all users in the system? some of the users have their own variant now we want to make one variant as default variant for all.
pls let me know if any one know abt this....
Thanks & Regards,
sksk.

Hi,
Following are the setps for creating variant, attaching it to the target transaction & making available for all the users -
1. Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction by changing the layout through hiding fields and screens.
2. Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 = ZVA02). Next allocate the transaction variant to this variant transaction.
In 4.6c, you can default your transaction variant as the standard variant. (SHD0 - Edit -> Activate/Deactivate as standard variant)
For more details, find the following link -

Hi Gurus,
I need help regarding one requirement, Our client want to have default variant which will have custom form name of selection screen of QGA3, along with the inspection lot number carried from QE01/QE02/QE03.

Create new transaction with default variant

Dear all,
I want to create a new tcode, which will be a replica of IW58 and save a default variant only in this replica.
Is this possible? If yes how to do it please?
Thanks a lot for your kind consideration
David

Maintain the variant you would like to use with IW58
Goto SE80, navigate to your Customer Package (Z*), open the node "Transactions". Right Klick -> Create Transaction.
Set a Transaction-Code and an apropriate Start Object (Most likely Dialog Transaction or Report Transaction). Assign the Report RIQMEL20.
Then fill in the Field "Start with variant" by selecting the variant you would like to use.
Hope that helps.

User specific default variant in a selectio screen

Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ? Please help.

Hi very Simple and easy solution:
In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
Hope That Helps

Reg: Test Configuration with Default variant

Hi Guru's
I am new here.. Guide me to achieve this.
I do created the Test script ,Test data and also the Test Configuration
Whats my problem is I do run the TC with external variant (File that i have mapped) .
its works fine but Default variant is not triggering all other variant are triggering.
What to do to run all the external variant including default variant . Guide me with steps.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anandh

Hi Anandh,
ECATTDEFAULT is a special variant which is not intended to be uploaded from external files.
If you use the download option to prepare your external variant file as a sample, you will see that ECATTDEFAULT is deactivated by using * in front. It's only downloaded to the sample file for giving the scripts import parameter defaults as a reference.
If you like use these default values for individual fields of other variants simply leave those fields blank in the other variants.
To have your test executed with the whole record of ECATTDEFAULT simply copy the *ECATTDEFAULT line in your external data file and give it an other similar name, e.g. ECATTDEFAULT1.
Kind regards
Jens

New T-Code with default variant

Hello Guru:
I create new t-code via copy standard t-code.
but how to set default variant to this new t-code.
seems like new variant still tied with old-t-code.
pls advise.

Hi Manthana99,
From what I know the variants are tied with the REPORT and not with the TRANSACTION.
Please see the tables below:
VARID (Variant directory)
VARIS (Assignment of variant to selection screen)
VARIT (Variant Texts)
VARI (ABAP/4: Variant storage (similar to INDX))

Setting Default Variant for Report Trans

Hi All,
Is there a way to set a default Variant to a reporting transaction? for example for ME2N how do I set a default Variant to be imported to the selection screen automatically once the report transaction is called?
This is useful if the user uses the same variant all the time.
Thanks in advance!

Pls try the below example
I give you one example,
Enter t-code ME2N, Then click on Dynamic field selection button.
Then double click on created by field enter enter any user id in it.
Then click on save button.After click on this screen your can see one other screen for variant.
Here you have to assign variant name and meaning. You can also change field status for report with help of this screen.
Before click on save button, tick on protect check box button and then click on save.
Then exit from transaction and enter ME2N.
Click on Get variant button. Here you can see list of variant, select your variant and get report as per your requirement.

Default variant for VL10C

Hello All,
My user wants to have a default variant loaded automatically, when VL10C is launched.
Any idea how to do that?
I tried to set up parameter in user profile LE_SHP_DEL_MON_LISTT but it doesnt work.
Your help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Michal

I have one additional question. .
When I go to transaction Vl10c and execute it with some selection criteria i get the work list. I modify the layout of the work list and save it. Then i want to go to settings-layout-administration to make a layout default but for some reason i am missing Settings option in my menu. I have only System and Help.
Regular menu for this transaction should be List Edit Goto Settings System Help. I have only System and Help.
Any idea how to deal with that?
Thanks for help!

When I execute the this report
problem 1). How can i shift the 7th field to 12 th field and save as a new variant.
Problem 2).If I rerun this new variant, how can I keep new set of arranged fields of new variant in the new order( means 7th field in 12 th position ).
I mean in while re-running the program the fields are arranged in old manner ( 7 th field in 7th position only - my functional consultant told me ) .

Selection of default variant on MF60 pull list

Hello,
I am working in REM, using Pull list --MF60 in ECC 6.0
My requirement is to set default variant on the MF60 screen for a User ID.
The user will save his screen input in the variant and it is attached as default to the user profile.
When the user comes to MF60 screen , he need not have to select the variant.The variant will come automatically , as it is attached to the user id.
Is the above requirement possible?
PP experts , please let me know about the same.
Waiting for your reply.

Go to MF60
On menu bar
Goto--> Variants --> get variant (here select variant)
Now again Goto --> Variants --> Save as variant

Set default variant for user in ME5A

Hi gurus,
It's possibile to set a default variant for the ME5A transaction for a user? Which parameter I must use in SU01?
Thanks
regards.

There's a way to add entries to that table.
Go to the table ESDUS through SE16N and activate the editing mode by entering &SAP_EDIT in the command field. It will give you information message in the bottom "SAP editing function activated" ("Maintain entries" check box will be visible).
Let us examine the ABAP code for the program behind ME5A
DATA: l_action LIKE esdus_s-action VALUE 'RM06BA00'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_SET_REPORT_USERVARIANT'
   EXPORTING
     im_report           = l_report
     im_esdus_action     = l_action
     im_standard_variant = l_variant.
MOVE l_action      TO my_esduscom-action.
MOVE 'USERVARIANT' TO my_esduscom-element.
MOVE sy-slset      TO my_esduscom-active.
Stay in SE16N and in the field "Act." enter RM06BA00 and execute. You'll see all the users who executed the ME5A (a.k.a program RM06BA00) and the default variant SAP selects is "SAP&STANDARD" which is a system variant, in the "Active" field. Change that value to what user want to be defaulted. Keep the value 'USERVARIANT' in the El. field. Click save on the top. It will popup a window records inserted, deleted, changed. Just hit enter.
Now whenever the user executes it will be defaulted to whatever you rewrote in the table.
Caution: Do not use &SAP_EDIT with other tables especially which share common primary keys it can serious problems in your database.

Report always shows default variant

Hello,
I've got a report where we can choose a variant in the selection screen.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SEL2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-002.
PARAMETERS p_layout TYPE slis_vari.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SEL2.
I've got it setup so that when the user runs the report, the field p_layout is filled with his default variant or if he has none it's empty.
My problem is when the field is empty the result ALV is always shown with the default variant.
For example:
User has 2 variants - SAV1 and SAV2 (default).
User enters selection screen and p_layout is filled with SAV2.
Scenario 1:
User presses F8 and the ALV is shown with the variant SAV2
Scenario 2:
User changes p_layout to SAV1 and presses F8. ALV is shown with SAV1 variant
Scenario 3:
User emptys p_layout (p_layout IS INITIAL), presses F8 and ALV is shown with SAV2 variant - the default one
What can I do so that when p_layout IS INITIAL the ALV shows all the columns?
This is how I define the layout:
       gr_layout = gr_alv->get_layout( ).
       MOVE sy-repid TO gs_layout_key-report.
       gr_layout->set_key( gs_layout_key ).
       gr_layout->set_save_restriction( if_salv_c_layout=>restrict_none ).
       gr_layout->set_default( 'X' ).
       gr_layout->set_initial_layout( p_layout ).
F4 help for p_layout:
   ls_layout_key-report = sy-repid.
   ls_layout_info = cl_salv_layout_service=>f4_layouts( ls_layout_key ).
   p_layout = ls_layout_info-layout.
Initialization of p_layout:
   gs_variant-report = sy-repid.
   CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
     EXPORTING
       I_SAVE        = 'A'
     CHANGING
       CS_VARIANT    = gs_variant
     EXCEPTIONS
       WRONG_INPUT   = 1
       NOT_FOUND     = 2
       PROGRAM_ERROR = 3
       OTHERS        = 4.
   IF sy-subrc = 2 OR sy-subrc = 0.
     p_layout = gs_variant-variant.
   ELSE.
     MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.
the sy-subrc = 2 is there to prevent error if user has no layouts => p_layout stays empty
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Thanga Prakash for your help, it lead me to the an awnser.
Even after I cleared the p_layout I still had the same issue but after reviewing the code once more I deleted the following line
gr_layout->set_default( 'X' ).
With this, if no layout was specified (p_layout IS INITIAL) the default variant was always called.
