How to update LTDX table for ZReport of T-Code FBL5N

Question

Hi,
We have copied report RFITEMAR(T-code FBL5N) to ZRFITEMAR(T-Code ZFBL5N), to meet some of our requirement.
Now, It is not showing Layouts in F4 help of screen field "Layout" in ZFBL5N and also we are not able to set default variant for the same.
I found the issue is, First it goes to table LTDX to search for any default/1SAP variant but it didn't find any entries in the table.
If we can make this entry(Report: ZFITEMRA, Variant: 1SAP) in table LTDX, then issue can be solved. Please let me know if any other way is available for this type of issue.
Thank you.

Hi
FI_ITEMS_DISPALY is used by FBL1N, FBL3N and FBL5N and now (in your system) ZFBL5N, but the problem is FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY expects to be called only by standard transaction so:
  if not is_u_variant-variant is initial.
*   check existence of named variant:
    perform alv_variant_check changing x_varexist.
    if x_varexist is initial.
      message i000(msitem) with is_u_variant-variant.
    endif.
  else.
*   check existence of default variant:
    perform alv_default_check changing x_varexist.
  endif.
  if x_varexist is initial.
*   take 1SAP, if it exists:
    clear is_u_variant.
    case acctype.
      when 'D'.
        is_u_variant-report = c_program_ar.
      when 'K'.
        is_u_variant-report = c_program_ap.
      when 'S'.
        is_u_variant-report = c_program_gl.
    endcase.
    is_u_variant-variant = '1SAP'.
    is_u_variant-username = sy-uname.
    perform alv_variant_check changing x_varexist.
    if x_varexist is initial.
      clear is_u_variant.
    endif.
  endif.
As you can see, the fm check if the variant exists and if you don't move any variant the fm check if a default variant exists, if both controls fail then fm overwrites the report name.
So I believe you should create a default variant in order to avoid the fm overwrites the report name
