Standard vs User Created FI Line Display Variants

Hello folks,
I'd like your opinion on the following problem:
Requirement: Display variants which begin with a special character other than / that is not in the sap standard variant name space, and can
only be defined by selected users.
We have users in ecc 6.0 that may create and save User Specific display layouts (those beginning with an alpha character), but we need to have
the same display layouts saved as User Independent, that is Shareable with all other users and still begin with an alpha character....    
But we cannot give access to create/change Standard display layouts (those beginning with a slash / ), as our Standard display      
layouts/variants must remain protected and changeable only by designated users.                                       
Any ideias if this is possible?
If it's not possible, no problem, I'll reward anyway.
Thank you for your help.

Officially... cross-posting between the forums is not allowed... but sometimes both a security (technical) and functional aspect is very helpfull.
The ability for moderators to mirror threads is unfortunately not available... ... So I will lock this thread.
Please use => Standard vs User Created FI Line Display Layouts/Variants for security contributions to this question.
This keeps the answers together in one place....
Cheers,

  • 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.

    The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

  • Using Select all to create multiple lines in a sales order

    Hello SAP experts,
    In our business practice users create multiple line sales orders with reference to contracts and use the copy paste method and then assign each line to the contract manually.
    After a few years of this practice i found a new way to create multiple lines but it doesn't quite work correctly. When you have created the first line of an order if you click on the select all button the system will ask you how many lines do you want to copy. I don't know if this is standard SAP but 3 things don't happen when we use this 1) The schedule line information is blank 2) conditions do not copy from the contract even though the contract has been referenced. 3) Since there is no schedule line information the order fails when saving and we get a update terminated message.
    I am having problems finding any documentation around this function so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    error when updating is
    Transaction..   VA01
    Update key...   4D358878A8B601AAE10080000A2C4982

  • 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

  • ALV display Variant

    hi,
    I wrote a code for allowing the user to choose a display variant in the selection screen. The user chooses the required variant in the selection screen and views the ALV grid accordingly. This code is working fine in the development server but as it was transported to the quality server, somehow it has stopped working.
    Any new variants that are created are displayed in the selection screeN F4 help, but somehow the variants are not working.
    Could anyone suggest where i am going wrong?
    Thanks,
    Aviroop

    try to comment it and see./
    it will work..
    you are telling that alv Fm set the default variant.
    if you don't want then comment it, then what ever you choose in selection screen will come in the output otherwise defaut variant overrides the selected one.

  • Pre-populated in user create form

    Hello there,
    I want to have user create form that displays some pre-populated fields in Access Manager. I have added the new fields and can see on the user create form but I want to populate these fields with the values from database or some other resource. Any idea how can this be done?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are various ways this can be done. One way is to use a back-end application to pre-populate a copy of the PDF with the data and then serve it to the user, but that is quite complex to implement. Another way would be to use parameters in the URL to do it. That can be done more easily with a script.

    Hi Charlie,
    Thanks for this help.However I have couple of doubts.
    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.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Need to displaye message "User created successfully" after creating user

    Hi,
    I need to display message "User created successfully" after creating a user in OIM i.e after clicking on create user button, thie message should be displayed. Please guide me in this regard.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    In ideal situation when you create an user and user gets created successfully the user profile page displayed.
    Now, if you want to show your message on top of that then you need to customize the Create User jsp.
    If you want to show new screen with required message then you need to create an custom screen,action class and some modification in struts framework.

  • 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.

  • 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.
