How to create a variant in VA05?

Hi,
  How can we create a variant in VA05 to make it available in the display variant list?do we need any authorization?
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Display variants can be administered in the result list, not at the selection screen. Do not mix up 'display variants' with normal variants which are a mere set of input-parameters.
To gain access to the 'administraion' and 'save' functions of the display variant, you need to have Parameter ID SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN on your user with value 'A'.

  • MMPV - Close period - How to create a variant

    Hello all,
    Transaction MMPV is used to close the MM period and open a new one. Currently, we run this transaction every month MANUALLY.
    We would like to create a variant that will open the new period automatically every month. The only problem is the period / year that changes every month (I do not know how to create a variant with changed values - if it is at all possible).
    How can we create a variant that will run every month to close the MM period ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Isaac

    Hello Isaac
    It is possible......But to make it happen you need to go with date field and not with Period and year.
    Steps -
    1 - Enter field FROM Comp Code and TO Comp Code
    2 - Enter the date (E.g - 05-Mar-2007)
    3 - Save as varient....Give the varient names as required.
    4 - Activate the 4th checkbox (Selection variable) in front of date field
    5 - Click on button 'Selection variable' at the top of screen.
    6 - Click on YELLOW light. This will turn it GREEN. Now you have 1st light as YELLO which was previously yello.
    7 - Click on the down arrow just below the yello light.
    8 - Select the appropriate option and save the varient.
    The day of batch job scheduling depends upon the options you selected in the 8th step.
    I hope it clarifies your dought and will allow you to create the varient as per your requirement.
    Best Regards

  • How to create a variant in ecatt?

    Hi all,
    I am new to Ecatt scripting. I hav a requirement from the user, that one ecatt is used for two sales org using two variants.
    I recorded as per the requirement ( first i created one basic script and called it in a master script ). Now I need to create two variants for the master script for the sales org.
    So could any one suggest how to create a variant in ecatt?
    Thanks in advance.
    Vijayakumar.G

    Hello Vijay,
    After recording parameterize everything whatever you want.
    In parameterization table leave the value field as empty, I mean don't give any value.
    Select the following in the menu,
    Utilities>Test configuration>Create
    Now, test configuration name will have the same of the test script name.
    Provide the details in the configuration tab. Then in the variants tab select the second radio button "Internal variants".
    In the variant table you can see the default variant "ECATTDEFAULT". You can make use of  this also. Otherwise you can also create your own variants by clicking "Insert variant" button.
    The variables whatever you have created in the test script will be there in the table. Now, Create variant and provide values for each variables.
    You can also select the variants which need to be executed.
    Now you can run the test configuration. It will be running number of times according to the created number of the variants.
    You can also create Test data for your test script and configuration.
    Try this, I hope it will help.
    Feel free to reward if it helps.

  • How to create a variant in VA01

    Hi Gurus,
    Can you teach me how to create a variant in VA01?  I'd like to have a default value in the sold to party field.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    hi,
    To show a default sold-to-party in this field when the user creates a sales order (VA01) we can use a function exit .This function exit is located in enhancement no V45A0002 . Before we can choose the exit we have to create a project in CMOD after that enter V45A0002 in the enhancement field and click on the components . In the components you will see the exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002 . This exit is used for our purpose.
    Double clicking on this exit will takes us to function builder (SE37) . This function exit has one exporting parameters and two importing parameters, we are interested in exporting parameter which is E_KUNNR of type KNA1-KUNNR i.e if we move the desired customer name to this structure(E_KUNNR) it will be shown in the field as the default value when we create the sales order. This function also contains a customer include ZXVVA04 . This include will be used to write our custom code .
    Double clicking on this include and it will prompt us that this include does not exists do you want to create this object ,select yes and the include will be created .In this include we can write our own code that will fill the field E_KUNNR.
    e.g. E_KUNNR = 301.
    Activate the include and Activate the project. Now when ever the SALES ORDER will be created , sold-to-party field will come up with a predefined customer .

  • How to create process variant in process chain

    What is a process variant? i try to add Infocube compression to the fi process chain. To accomplish this task, i have to create process variant. please tell me the step by step process how to create process variant and successfully add the compression to the process chain. Can i do it directly in production? Thanks to SDN community that i can count on.

    Hi Rafi,
    <b>Process variants</b>
    The process variant is the name of the process Within the process chain context, it displays the configuration of a process of a particular type set at the time of definition. A variant is only consistently defined together with the process type. A process can have various variants. With the load process for example, the name of the InfoPackage is the name of the process variant.
    The user defines the process variant at the time when the process is scheduled. With some process types, the variants are determined internally and are stored as GUIDs.

  • How to create a variant to a maintenance view (trans: SM31)

    Hi gurus.
    I have created a maintenance view (called z_jest). By running it from SM31 there is a variant option. However, I am not able to create the variant which I want to filter a selection upon in this transaction.
    I have even looked into transaction SE54 and created a variant for the maintenance table view there( called z_jestv). Then going back to transaction SM31 and view z_jest, i push 'Variant' radiobutton and type as variant: 'z_jestv', I only get the message: "Variant z_jestv for object z_jest does not exist".
    Can anybody please advice on how to create and/or connect the variant to the maintenance view?
    Regards LL.

    Hi Mahalakshmi
    Thanks for reply.
    When I look into the procedure, there is a prerequisite: "The basis dialog for which the maintenance variant is created already exists."
    I am a little bit unsertain if I miss this 'Basic dialog'. Can you please advice on how to check / create this 'basic dialog' before I go on to create the variant. (I need this 'basic dialog' as input in the procedure you sent.)
    (Note: I have already created a 'maintenance dialog' for the view, but I have a feeling, that is something different...)

  • How to create a variant for  a selection screen  button

    hi ,
          i have  created a selection screen for a normal report .   
    In the selection screen  there is one button after the selct option for company code. when user enters some company code and  presses the button the user i call a able contraol in which user gives some additional values for the comapny code.
    how  do i create variant.  when i create  varaint  for the slection screen  it does  not take into account the  other screen i called .
    so every time user has to click that button and enter some values and execute. please suggest  some way.
    THANKX IN ADAVANCE:)

    Hi,
          Inorder to create a variant for selection screen report, you need to enter valid data on the screen and click on the SAVE button which is available in the Menu.
          And regarding the button you were asking about after select option, it is not created manually it comes automatically,, you can remove this by mentioning no-extension after the select-option. You can get clear information of this if you do F1 help on select-option.
    My advice to you, make effect use of F1 help.

  • How to create a variant used in SM30,View variant in Parameter transaction?

    Dear Team,
    I have a view V_TCURR. For which I would be creating a parameter transaction for transaction SM30 by filling the default Values section (VIMDYNFLDS-LTD_DTA_VR, VIEWNAME,TVIMV-VARIANT). The values for first two fields are obvious.
    The question is on TVIMV-VARIANT How can we create a variant which can be used in tcode SM30.
    Delving a  little deeper show that these variants Obsolete since R/3 Release 3.1I: Selection variant for a table or maintenance view.
    Since R/3 Release 4.0, there are view variants instead of selection variants.
    The field only exists for reasons of backwards compatibility.
    If thats is so, How do I use the same in parameter transaction..?
    I have tried creating a view variant and use it parameter transaction but in vain..
    Please help resolve my problem. I hope I am very clear. If still need any clarification, please get back to me.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Reagards,
    Sai.
    P.S. Though there are multiple quuestions on simlar subjects none of them has been either answered or is completely relevant to mine.

    Dear Suman,
    Thanks a lot for the answer. Actually the Tcode is getting created if I do what you have said me.
    But when I run the tcode which was created by view variant created, I am not getting the desired details .
    To be more clear..
    Previously there was a variant (TMIMV-VARIANT) created with follwing criteria..
    Table TMIMV.
    TABNAME    VARIANT AS4POS            VIEWFIELD NEGATION OPERATOR     VALUE         AND_OR      TABIX
    V_TCURR     ZTHB     1     KURST     NOT     EQ     M     AND     2          
    V_TCURR     ZTHB     2     KURST     NOT     EQ     DWBP     AND     2          
    V_TCURR     ZTHB     3     TCURR          EQ     THB     OR     4          
    V_TCURR     ZTHB     4     TCURR          EQ     USD     OR     4          
    V_TCURR     ZTHB     5     TCURR          EQ     US$          4     
    When we run tcode created by paramaeter transaction.. viewname as  V_TCURR, TMIMV-VARIANT. I am getting the desired records for updation.
    But if I do the same using View variant with the same selection criteria
    Table            Field name     Operator      Comaparison  AND/OR
                                                                   Value
    TCURR     KURST     NE     'M'     AND
    TCURR     KURST     NE     'DWBP'     AND
    TCURR     TCURR     EQ     THB     OR
    TCURR     TCURR     EQ     USD     OR
    TCURR     TCURR     EQ     US$
    And the run the tcode created by using the view variant .. I am getting No entries found that match selection criteria...
    Could you please help and let me know if I am missing any step.. Kindly also check from your side how this can be achieved.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Sai.

  • How to create a variant to a report from another program at run time

    Hi experts,
                   when i am using FM  :  /OSP/REPORT_CREATE_VARIANT to create a report variant from a program then i am getting  an error 'For object /OSP/ERPNR , number range interval 01 does not exist ', how should i avoid it or can any one help me out to create a report variant from another program at run time with the results of the program.so that i can execute the report from here with this variant

    If i understand you,
    - You can use a FM like [RS_CREATE_VARIANT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=rs_create_variant+&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] to create a variant and then use it in the [SUBMIT|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096d67543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] statement USING SELECTION-SET.
    - But you may also use SUBMIT with WITH parameters which doesnt require variant creation and with much less programming efforts.
    - You can mix the two solutions also.
    So what is you actual requirement, also look at some documentation like [ Scheduling a Job: Full-Control Method|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096ce5543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm]
