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
Ian

  • Setting a global display variant

    While I try to get the report for IH08,I am trying to set a layout,but there only user specific and default display layout is present.
    I am not able to create it globally?
    Is there a way?

    You can modify the default layout at system using transaction code OIYC. Run the aforementioned tcode and choose "Selection Screen list change mode" and then Click on "Attributes on top left side of the screen and maintain them.
    The layout will be automatically set as default layout with layout name "/SY". You don't have to mention layout name.

  • 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 doesn’t solve your problem ..please explain your question with the help of tr. codes and what you’re trying to do !!
    I’m sorry , its really making me knutt by reading your question again and again .
    Thanks

  • User Specific Display Variants

    Hi
    Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
    Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
    Thanks

    Hi Eric,
    I'm a bit busy now and I cannot give you a complete solution, but sure can give you some c(l)ue. Just see if you have some success. If you do not, then i wuill get back to you later.
    Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
    ==========================================================
    LTDX  --> Generic storage of display variants
    LTDXD --> Default display variants
    LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants
    LTDXT --> Display variant texts
    ==========================================================
    The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

  • Display Variants in ALV

    Hi,
    I copied an existing Z report program to a new program to conform to the naming standards and deleted the old program. (I could do renaming as well but did it this way)
    When copying the program, all object including the selection variants were copied but the ALV display variants were not copied to the target program.  Any thoughts on this please?
    I tried using a simple program to copy the LTDX (Generic storage of display variants) and LTDXT (Display Variant Texts) entries of the old program to the new program. I checked that all entries in LTDX of the old program now exist for the new program too. When I execute the program, only the global ALV display variants are available for selection i.e all display variants that start with u2018/u2019. The user specific variants are not available although all entries in LTDX and LTDXT for the user display are in the respective tables
    Thanks for respondinding.

    Thanks Satyasuresh. I used a similar program that copies variant entries from tables ltdx and ltdxt for a source program to new entries in the same table for the target program.
    parameters report like ltdx-report obligatory.
    parameters report2 like ltdx-report obligatory.
    select * into table lt_ltdx from ltdx
                    where report = report.
      select * into table lt_ltdxt from ltdxt
                    where report = report.
      loop at lt_ltdx.
        lt_ltdx-report = report2.
        modify ltdx from lt_ltdx..
      endloop.
      loop at lt_ltdxt.
        lt_ltdxt-report = report2.
        modify ltdxt from lt_ltdxt..
      endloop.

  • Display variant in  ALV grid

    Hi ,
    i have developed an interactive report in which form the first grid display i will move to the second grid display.
    Problem:
                 For the first list there is an display variant. when i navigate to the second list it is using the same display variant form the first list ( this should not hapen ). so many of the fields are not be displayed in the second list.
                Is there any way to differentiate the display variant from first and second list.
    Please help me. sample code will be more helpful.

    hi santhosh
        You can very well create 2 variants in your report for grid display...just restrict some fields n create 2 variants and while executing jus choose which variant you need to run..

  • 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

    When I save the new variant it asks me for package or local object.
    Cutrrently I have selected n saved as local object but what is the real time scenarion.Do we need to select any package on this screen.I am not aware of these things in detail so nwant to know the difference between a local object and a package and is it functional consultant's task to do this or developers should do this since they can select the package
    Please advise on this.

  • How to get the name of the currently used display variant

    Dear all,
    I found the user-exit EXIT_SAPLGRAP_001 for programming download authorization.
    With us no standard user is allowd to download data from R/3. With the user-exit it would be possible to allow certain downloads. one problem i solved already.
    For programming the second authorization i need the name of the currently used display variant in RKPEP000. Where can i get the name. I tried user-exits for RKPEP000, but i didn't find the name. I didn't find it in SYST either.
    Thanks and reargs
    Monika

    First you need to enter those names. Right-click the songs (Windows) or go to File>Get Info (All Platforms), then go to the second tab from the left to insert the information.

  • 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

  • Problem in saving ALV display variant with filter

    Hello,
    I'm displaying an ALV grid with function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. When I load a diplay variant and apply a filter, I could save new layout. But when I run the report without a display variant, then apply a filter to the result, I couldn't save filter option when saving display variant. In the "save" tab of save layout dialog, filter checkbox is not displayed. This happens in 4.6C version. Is it a bug or am i missing a point.
    Thanks,
    Mustafa.

    Slm Burak,
    'IT_FILTER' parameter is empty. Users apply a filter but couldn't save filtered list variant. When they run the report with saved display variant, list is displayed without filters.

  • How to disable GLOBAL query variants in Portal (ANALYSIS Template)

    Hello Experts,
    Does anybody know how to disable the saving of global query variants on the selection screen?
    Currently if anybody goes in and saves the variant with Description and puts something in the Technical Name, it saves that variant as global, so that everybody can see it. If they put something in the description only and leave the technical name blank, then it saves the variant as local. Therefore, how would I go about disabling the saving of global query variants?
    Thank you,

  • 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.

  • ALV Display Variant copying between programs

    There is a report program say PROGRAM1 whose ALV display variants we want to copy to the ALV display variants of another program say PROGRAM2.
    Both these program share the same ALV output structure design. My questions are
    1) Can the display variants of an ALV be copied into another program.?
    2) Can this be managed programatically?

    Hi,
      Try using LVC_VARIANT_SELECT and LVC_VARIANT_SAVE fms.
      First call LVC_VARIANT_SELECT to read variant from the first program and then call LVC_VARIANT_SAVE to save it for the second program.
      Take a look at report BCALV_GRID_11 for reference
