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.

Function Module that will retrieve the Field Catalogs of a Display Variant

Hello Experts,
Are there any function modules that I can use to retrieve the field catalogs (fields to be displayed in ALV report) by passing the display variant name?
An RFC needs to apply this to determine which field(data) to be passed to XI (calling system) depending on user login.
Thanks in advance!

These are the various FM available for Variants (field Layout)
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_ALL_MAINTAIN Maintain all display variants for one object
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET Read default display variant (description only, w/o field catalog)
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE    Checks whether a display variant exists
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4           Display variant selection dialog box
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_MAINTAIN     Definition of a display variant outside the list context
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SAVE         Save a display variant
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT       Read a display variant
Regards,
Amit

ABAP Query display variant problem

Hi,
We have three different SAP clients development DV1, Staging ST1 and production PC1. I have created an abap query for which I m trying to create a global display variant (not user specific). I m able to do so easily in DV1 and PC1 systems. But when I try to create a display variant on ST1 by first running the report and then going to menu Settings->Layout->Save . I find that by default the User-Specific checkbox is selected and disabled. Because of this I can create only user specific display variants for my queries.
Where can I change the settings so that when I go to the above menu the User-specific checkbox is enabled and I m able to create global display variants ?
Thank you for reading.
Krishna

I am confuse after reading your question , any way we can adding "default" variant in SQ01. You can also assign the same variant in SE93 , when you create T-code for the specific query !!.
Well if it doesnt solve your problem ..please explain your question with the help of tr. codes and what youre trying to do !!
Im sorry , its really making me knutt by reading your question again and again .
Thanks

Global display variant authorisations

Morning
Anyone know the authorisation to use to ensure that I can create global display variants for QM reports such as QA32? I thought it may be SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN but this does not seem to make any difference.
Cheers
Ian

THanks for your help Raja
In the end the solution was not far away. A colleague of mine found in the area that I was in earlier.
Customizing->Quality Managment->Quality Inspection-> List Definition->Define Variants (List View Function).
Select this and then choose QA32/33 Inspection Lots. Then choose the bottom option Maintain Field Selection List. You are then presented with the program selection screen as you are in the previous two options. Crucially however, you need to execute the program and it then takes you into the list display maintenance.
It was the last step that was the breakthrough. I have documented it for future searches on the same subject.
Cheers

Setting display variant in BDC

Hi Guys,
   I am trying to set a particular custom display variant for item layout during BDC for MIRO. I am able to populate the MIRO screen field RM08M-ITEM_LIST_VERSION with the correct variant name, but the layout does not change accordingly. I tried doing a recording for this, but even in the recording when I try to switch between variants the layout does not change.
My questions are:
1) Am I doing someting wrong here?
2) Is this something which can be done through BDC? If yes, how can I do this?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Nanditha

Hi Nanditha,
You have to change the options when you do the call MIRO.
Parameter NOBINPT in OPTIONS must have the value 'X'.
Define the OPTIONS structure:
DATA: LF_OPT LIKE CTU_PARAMS.
Give the OPTIONS parameters a value:
MOVE 'E' TO LF_OPT-DISMODE.
MOVE 'S' TO LF_OPT-UPDMODE.
MOVE ' ' TO LF_OPT-CATTMODE
MOVE ' ' TO LF_OPT-DEFSIZE.
MOVE ' ' TO LF_OPT-RACOMMIT
MOVE 'X' TO LF_OPT-NOBINPT.
MOVE ' ' TO LF_OPT-NOBIEND.
CALL TRANSACTION 'MIRO' USING BDCDATA
                        OPTIONS FROM LF_OPT
                        MESSAGES INTO ERRORMESSAGES.

Variants for alv

please let me know about variants in alv??
with details.
why we use variants at alvs??
please let me know

We can change the display of the list by using the display variants. Basically the display variants decide the appearance of the list. We can save display variants of the list by going Settings  Display variant  Save of the ALV display.
We can ask the ALV to use a particular display variant for display. We have to pass the variant name to the display FM through the parameter IS_VARIANT (explained earlier). We can also provide a selection to the user in the selection screen to select a particular display variant. The FM used to obtain the F4 help for the selection of the layout or the variant is explained next.
F4 HELP FOR DISPLAY VARIANTS (REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4)
The function module REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4 gives a popup to the user to select the display variant from a list of variants, which have been already saved.
Some of the important parameters of the above function modules are:
1.      IS_VARIANT (Like DISVARIANT) (Export Parameter)
Pass the program name in the field REPORT of this structure.
2.      I_SAVE (Export Parameter)
Set this parameter as A if you want to give the user an option to save an output layout user specifically or as a standard variant.
Set this parameter as U if you want to give the user an option to save an output layout only user specifically
Set this parameter as X for standard save only
Leave it blank to provide no save option.
3.      ES_VARIANT (Like DISVARIANT) (Import Parameter)
Pass the same variable as was passed for the first parameter. When we select a particular layout to be used, The FM returns the name of the variant in the field VARIANT of this structure.

Vidya

How to get the fields in a display variant

Hello gurus,
I have created variants for an ALV display that I can select on my selection. This works fine.
Now I need to know during the execution of the program what are the fields that have been selected in the display variant so that I can export the selected fields in an excel sheet that I send by mail. The file is currently being sent with all the possible fields .
Is there a module function that allows the program to know which field is present in the display variant?
Thanks,
Parvez

Hi,
Try these: REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET.
REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4.
.also see the link for more Details:

How to create variant for table/view ?

Hi,
When I go through SM30, I find a radio button called variant. I don't know the effect.
Can anyone tell me how to create variant for table / view ?
I want to know when we need to create variant for table/view.
Best regards,
Chris Gu

hi ,
Whenever you start a program in which selection screens are defined, the system displays a set of input fields for database-specific and program-specific selections. To select a certain set of data, you enter an appropriate range of values.
For further information about selection screens, refer to Selection Screens in the ABAP User's Guide.
If you often run the same program with the same set of selections (for example, to create a monthly statistical report), you can save the values in a selection set called a variant
Procedure
To create a new variant:
       1.      On the ABAP Editor initial screen, enter the name of the program for which you want to create a variant, select Variants, and choose Change.
       2.      On the variant maintenance initial screen, enter the name of the variant to be created.
Note the naming convention for variants (see below).
       3.      Choose Create.
If the program has more than one selection screen, a dialog box for screen assignment appears. The dialog box does not appear if the program only has one selection screen. The selection screen appears in this case.
       4.      If there is more than one selection screen, select the screens for which you want to create the variant
5.      Choose Continue.
The (first) selection screen for the report appears.
If your program has more than one selection screen, use the scroll buttons in the left-hand corner of the application toolbar to navigate between them and to fill the fields with values. If you keep scrolling forwards, the Continue button appears on the last selection screen.
       6.      Enter the desired selection values, including multiple selection and dynamic selection.
       7.      Choose Continue.

Creation of a Variant for FBL3N

Hi Gurus,
Actually, i want to create a variant for GL line item display with posting date range as last month's date range.
For eg. if i use that variant in october, it should pick posting date range from 01.09.08 to 30.09.08 and i use this variant in november, it should pick posting date range from 01.10.08 to 31.10.08.
Please help me in solving this issue.
Thank You

On the report's selection-screen:
1. Hit the SAVE button to create a variant
2. In the table 'Objects for Selection Screen':
               2.1. scroll to the row showing your input selection field (say posting date) and
               2.2. in column 'Selection Variable' of the respective row   select 'D'.
               2.3. in column 'Name of the Variable' of the respective row select 'Previous month'

Problem in SHD0 about creation of Transaction Variant for VA02

Hi All,
My goal is to create a Transaction Variant for VA02 Variant that doesn't display the "Object Status" button under the page "Status" in the Header of Sales Orders.
To do so, I created a Transaction Variant in SHD0 (named ZTEST_VA02), the creation process creates the Screen Variants too, and i named them ZTEST_VA02_<dynpro_number>.
The Dynpro where I can found the button to hide is the SAPMV45A / 4305, so the Screen Variant Name is ZTEST_VA02_4305.
My problem is that If I test the single Screen Variant (ZTEST_VA02_4305) using the button in SHD0, I can see the whole transaction with my modify (the "Object Status" button is hidden), but testing the entire Transaction Variant ZTEST_VA02 I cannot see the modify and the Button is pretty visible.
I even tried to create a Transaction with Variant, in SE93, that launches the transaction VA02 with the variant ZTEST_VA02, and I tried to assign the Transaction Variant I created as a Standard Variant, in both cases the problem is that the modify doesn't appear to be applied.
For me this is a real mistery because If the Screen Variant is right (It works) I would expect to see that even the Transaction Variant is correct.
Does Anyone have (or have ever had) this problem?
Thank You very much for your attention.
Regards,
Claudio
PS: I forgot to mention that I'm working on SAP ECC 6.0

screen number where the 'Obj.Status' button is ' 4456

does anyone got the solution?
