Selection variant - save as personal

Hi - I have the following scenario:
E.g.: Txn. ME51N
- doc.overview ON
- selection variant "purch.reqs"
- create your own selection screen, and save as a variant (F11 or Goto - variant - save)
Question is:
- how to make this variant personal - to prevent other users from seeing it? I have tried with "only display in catalog" - but this does not make sence for these variants ...I thing ...
please advice. brgs ziggy

  • Can report selection variants be saved for personal use only?

    I have created some sap selection reports which  allow the user to create and save selection criteria variants.  These become automatically available to all users.
    Is there a way I can alter this so all users will only be able to view/use variants they have personally created?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi,
    Checking the user specific option sounded like the answer to my question.  However,  I don't see that as an option on the save popup.
    I see only for background processing,  protect variant and only display in catalog.  Perhaps this is an option not installed for copy of sap?

  • Functionality for Select and Save layout in a report output

    Hi,
    I had developed a report program containing several fields in the output and requires the Functionality for Select layout and Save layout in a report output.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Shariq.

    While calling the FM for List Display ( "REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY" or "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" ) set the Parameter I_SAVE for Setting the Layout and Selecting a different Layouts.
    The possible values for I_SAVE are "A", "U", "X" or others. Depending on the requiement you can set different values for the Parameter I_SAVE.
    ' ' = display variants cannot be saved
    Defined display variants (e.g. delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation independently of this flag.
    Changes can not be saved.
    'X' = standard save
    Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
    User-specific saving is not possible.
    'U' = only user-specific saving
    The user can only save display variants user-specifically
    'A' = standard and user-specific saving
    The user can save a display variant user-specifically and
    as standard display variant. The user chooses in the display variant
    save popup.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MM - me21n Selection variant in document overview

    Hello,
    I would like to ask you whether it is possible to set up the Document overview in me21n as follows:
    "Open Purchase Requisitions" to be shown immediately in overview, once me21n screen opened. So there will not be any need for using the selection variant manually and choose the purchase requisitions manually.
    Thank you
    Katarina

  • Delivery creation select variants must be checked

    Hi Gurus,
    in selection variants for delivery creation by batch were wrong on 2 points :
    date selection was too large (till D30 instead of D5)
    shipping point was incorrect.
    Please help me

    Goto T.Code SE38 and give the program name. You will find 4 options below and choose the variant and click the Change Button.
    You will be in the next screen, here you will have the option to change the variant, now click the change button and change the Shipping point.
    Once done save and back to the previous screen. Now press the Attributes button, this will take you to the screen where they have defined the Selection variable. You will find a Selection variable button on top of your screen, press that and this will take you to the next screen here you will find that the date has been maintained as D30, change this to D5 and save the variant.
    Lo! you are done. verify the date one more time before you run the job and that's it.
    Regards,
    Mani.

  • VA05 Variant save

    Dear Gurus,
    I have change the colums settings and hide some of the colum, but "save" button in the setting>layout is freeze, so i cant save any required layout, kindly guide.
    yes at the selection screen variant button is available if i run any one and made changes in it that is also not incorporated if i again run the variant.
    secondly is there any option so that i can count the number of sales order appear in va05. currently only sales order numbers are coming and very difficult for the user to communicated the number of sales order.
    Looking for the gurus response.
    Regards,

    if you have authorization for tcode su01 then add a parameter "SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN " and maintain X for this parameter in your userprofile. (otherwise ask basis to do so.)
    variant save issue will be solved IA.
    regarding count issue, no standard report is available. however if you dont want to use saq query for it, u may use a little tip to get the count.
    i.e. in field for sales order number in VA02 or VA03, press F4 and enter the document type and other criteria if needed. sap seach screen will return the list of sales order as per your search criteria. beneath the results returned system shows the total number of entries found. Hence this is your number of sales order as per your search criteria.
    Hope it addresses ur 2nd requirement too.

  • 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
