Selection variant - authorization

Hi,
I'm using standard selection variants for internal orders and cost centers (created via KOK3, KS13, OKOV etc.).
Some of the variants are used in customizing (as receivers of assesment) so only some users should be allowed to modify such selection variants.
However there's NO authority check during creation or modification af a variant.
Does anybody know how to add an authorization check here? Modification with customer authorization object for instance.
Best regards,
Jacek

Hi,
Please try authorisation object S_PROGRAM for program SAPLSVAR.
Thanks,

Posting period variant authorization

Hi
We have a issue with posting period variant authorization. Say for example we have 4 company code and 4 posting period variants and we want to restrict one particular user should have authorization to open and close for one posting period variant only. Because mistake other company posting periods are getting opened. so as we have one posting period variant for one company, we want to restict one particular user responsible for one particular posting period variant not for all OB52 transaction code. Please advise how to achieve this.....

Padma

Hi
I am not finding any thing called authorization field in OB52, where it is? please advise..

Dynamic creation of date in selection variant

Hi All,
I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field.
Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
Thanks
Sankar

As I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
See the help for variables
Selection Variables
The following three types of selection variables are currently
    supported:
o   Table variables from TVARV
        You should use these variables if you want to store static
        information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.
o   Dynamic date calculations:
        To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have
        type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D
        when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is
        no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using
        the input help.
        The system currently supports the following dynamic date
        calculations:
        Today's date
       From beginning of the month to today
       Today's date +/- x days
       First quarter ????
       Second quarter ????
       Third quarter ????
       Fourth quarter ????
       Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy
       Previous month
o   User-specific variables
       Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the
       program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,
       which can be created either from the selection screen or from the
       user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding
       selection fields when the user runs the program.
The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that
   fill select-options fields with single values.
i.e means we can do that with D also.

Printing Selection Variant in Report Painter

Hi, I am using ECC 5. There is a requirement for printing the selection variant in Report Painter (GR55) Reports. Presently there is a provision to print selection fields and values.
Is any way, I can print a Selection Variant and Name in Report Painter? I understood that the information is stored in Table VARIT. This table contains Lang., Report Name, Variant and Short text. I do not know how to get this info in Report screen.
Can any one help?
Advance Thanks
Venkat

Hi,Thanks for your reply. Let me explain.
When using Transaction Code GR55, enter Report Group, Execute. This will open a Report Paramenter screen. In this screen, if you select Goto --> Variant --> Get OR Get Variant icon, this will show the available selection variants. Select any one of them and run report.
In report it will pick-up the each selection paramater field and value NOT a variant.
Is any way to get the variant also printed in report?
Hope this will is clear.
Thanks
Venkat

How do you make report selection variant the default selection varaint?

Hello all,
I know how to create a Selection Variant for reoprts and I know how to create a User Variable that defaullts field values for a specific user. But can anyone tell me how do you have a specific Report Selection Variant Default for everyone? I know this one is probably staring right at me but I'm not seeing it. Your help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Bhatia,
That will only hold the data for that specific user. You can also do that via "user variables". What I would like to know is how do you get it to be the default for All users.
I am investigating the possibility of using t-code SE38 and changing the Values on the existing variants to contain the default data we'd like to see. I'd much rather create just one Variant per report and have that be the default variant.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Create a user-defined selection variant in transaction ME21N

Hi,
In transaction ME21N with the 'Document Overview' feature turned on we can view a list of standard selection variants. I would like to add a user-defined selection variant to that list. There is an OSS Note 377180 present which describes how to do that but(as per transaction SNOTE) that note cannot be implemented in our system. Is there any other way to get that done?
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alam.

I would suggest that you replay the transaction with breaks, so that you can see exactly what is happening (in the start options, set the SAPGUI replay options to stop at each ProcessedScreen)
It may be that the Selection Variant button is not present during replay. In this case, you would need to make the step where this button is pressed as optional.
ME21N is a difficult transaction to automate because it always remembers what you were last doing in it and restarts the transaction from that point. You can delete the user settings (so you always start the transaction as though for the first time) using the following code in your script:
ABAP.
* Delete all User-Settings in MM
DELETE FROM ESDUS WHERE UNAME = SY-UNAME.
* Delete all User-Settings in search help
DELETE FROM DDSHDEFSH WHERE USERNAME = SY-UNAME.
ENDABAP.

VT04 - multiple selection variants possible?

Hello,
When we create shipments "manually" via VT01n, we have 2 different selection variants to add deliveries onto the shipments:
- one variant which selects all deliveries without route schedule also those for which the goods issue date is in the future
- one variant which selects all deliveries with route schedule and where the goods issue date of delivery is set on "Today" or in the past
There is no way to "combine" these 2 variants into 1 variant, because we would miss some deliveries that way
We want to use transaction VT04/VT07 to automatically create these shipments.
But in the selection screen of VT04, you can only set one selection variant (field is not "multiple selectable) to add deliveries and there is no option to set the 2 selection variants we have created above
Are there any other options?
Thanks for your help.
Kr,
Alexander
Edited by: Alexander Vilain on Jan 21, 2011 12:11 PM

Hi Alexander,
They way I interpret your question is, when you use VT01N you have the option of grouping deliveries into one shipment i.e . multiple deliveries into one shipment.
Based on that understanding :
Did you try to use transportation chain option in VT04 to group deliveries.
Click on the "Create Transportation Chain "
And use " Multiple grouping criteria and data options " as required by you.
You can have same shipping type for example truck and group the deliveries as main, preliminary legs etc.
There needs to lot of testing to make sure deliveries are picking up correct and later VT07 to schedule batch job
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks

Selection variant F110

Hi,
Anyone knows how can I configure a selection variant for the payment program? I have gone as far as reaching the variant attributes that are copied directly from the assignment of the selection Screen, however the field I want to change PAR_UNIX it is greyed out and can't change it.... any idea?
tcode F110, pick a payment run that happened in the past, go to tab "printout/data medium", select a variant there for program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM, press mnaintain variant button and then variant attributes button. scroll down on the "object for selection screen and" and you will see the field PAR_UNIX greyed out. How can I change it to be available for input in the entry screen?.
Thanks

Hi!
The print program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM has no visible parameter PAR_UNIX as no file is created. That´s why the parameter is greyed out.
If you check other print programs which create a file (e.g. RFFOUS_T), the parameter accept input.
Best regards,
Reiner

User-defined variable in selection variant - doesn't work?

Hello,
Anyone had any experience of using user-defined variables (type B) in a selection variant? I can't get this to work in 4.7 or ECC 6.0. Seems like a bug - there's no way to specify the name of the variable. The theory behind their use is fine, but I wonder if anyone has successfully used them?
Thanks,
Chris.

In an ECC 5 system, I can get to these showing if I'm in a report selection screen and I use the "Goto > User variables" (or Ctrl-F6) option... but note that it will only show the menu option if there are report parameters that have a PID on them and where the PID is defined in table TUVID (see note 144459). That said, personally I've only used the "T" option and maintained system wide values in table TVARVC.

So I am having a similar issue. I have a fixed length flat file with 3 different record types.
1 a header ( length is 82 bytes with the first byte set to H ( single record always the first )
2 a detail record ( length is 382 bytes ) with the first byte set to D ( multiple records )
3 a trailer record ( length is 82 bytes ) with the first byte set to T ( single record always the last )
I created a UD OTD with 3 elements for each record type, RECORD_TYPE is the first field 1 byte. Matching for each on either H,D, or T. When I try and test the OTD with the Run Test button I get an unmarshal error
<SOD>""<POS>"HACCUMULAT..." failed input match, Fog#431, after <no path>: failed node: trailing junk in fixed/parent

Report Painter problem with empty selection variant

Hello,
I use the cost center selection variant for the column definition in Report Painter as characteristic value. This selection variant get only the cost centers which are valid from 1.1.2003 to 31.12.2004. The column of the report created by Report Painter which uses this selection variant display value without taking into account limitations follow from this selection variant. I expect value zero for year fiscal year 2007 in this column, because the cost centers are invalid in 2007 year but the report displays different value. The problem appeared after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
Best Regards
ZD

My problem with Report Painter occurred when I was creating my own report based on 1VK library.
In my example I used in the column definition characteristic Cost
Center, which is determined by selection variant, and Basic Key Figure
equal SWKG-Costs. For system date (18.07.2007) there are no valid
master data for the characteristic Cost Center but when I execute
report for fiscal year 2007 the column display no-zero value without
taking into account value of Characteristic Cost Center. I expected
zero value in this column because there are no postings for Cost
Centers (no valid cost centers were selected) in financial year 2007.
Could you help me with this problem ?

Selection variant for a report painter

Hi,
I created a report painter report. I want to create a default selection variant for a specific user. For example, I want user GIRARDJU to have company code=ADM, period 6 to period 13. I tried to create a variant and call it U_GIRARDJU but it doesn't work like it does for the standard SAP reports...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Julien

Hi,
First go to the report you have created.
Then save the selection criteria you want & give an appropriate name to your variant (eg: /INOKA).
When you execute the report next time, this variant will be there, & by double clicking it you'll get the saved information.
Best regards,
Inoka.

Costing Variant authorization Error

Dear Experts,
While creating Sale Order (MTO scenario) system is throwing a error "No authorization for Costing Variant XXXX in Company
Code XXXX. understand that system will calculate Sale Order Costing in this scenario. So, user should have Costing Variant authorization in his user profile.
Basically SD related users doesn't have authorization for Product Costing Objects.
And Basis guy has maintained the authrn by costing variants object level not by the T- Codes level.
How can I allow SD Users to Costing Variant authorizations?
is this the correct way?
Please help me.......

Balaji Bhonsle.

Dear Ajay,
Firstly thanks for your help.

Because Client is not ready to give entire costing variant authorization.
I strongly hope that, it doesn't work any t.code autr without CV Authn related to PC Object :K_KEKO.
Is there any possibility to do this t code autrn.

BMBC Dynamic Date selection Variant

Hello Team,
I want to create variant in BMBC -Batch Information Cockpit with Dynamic Date Selection. But it do not find the screen the to set-up variant attributes
This is the field where I want to have dynamic date selection, 1st Day of the month to Last day of the month.
Field name and program
I am using SE80
As you can see screen number 0100 is not showing up. and I have gone though all available screen but i could not find the field.
Please advise if dynamic date selection for this field is possible at all or there is other way.
Thanks

I don't think that it is possible to have dynamic date selection here. The whole selection screen is just dynamic, it has only place holders and you define in customizing which field is on the selection screen.
You actually save a selection variant via this extra big button for selection variants, which is quite different to the disc icon where you usually save your selection variants and where you have the option to define dynamic date fields.
