User default variants

Hi,
Is there a way to assign a variant to a user or group of users in a transaction such as IH08? I refer to those selected by the 'Get variant...' button on the initial screen before the report is run.
The customer would always like the report to exclude deleted vehicles, but does not want to have to select a variant every time they run the transaction.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Thought I'd report back to help anyone else with this query.
Basically I found this could be achieved on a per user basis, by creating a default variant. This is done by naming the variant U_XXXXXX where XXXXXX = User ID. When the specified user runs the transaction the saved variant will always be applied.
I believe you can also create a standard system wide variant by using the naming convention SAP_TCODE_XXXX where XXXX is the transaction code, but I have not tested this.
Thanks,
Richard.

User specific default variant in a selectio screen

Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ? Please help.

Hi very Simple and easy solution:
In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
Hope That Helps

How can I restrict those fields and I want to use this variant as default at user specific level. Please advise me how can I set as default variant.

First you suppress the fields in Field status group and then create variant for those fields.

Set default variant for user in ME5A

Hi gurus,
It's possibile to set a default variant for the ME5A transaction for a user? Which parameter I must use in SU01?
Thanks
regards.

There's a way to add entries to that table.
Go to the table ESDUS through SE16N and activate the editing mode by entering &SAP_EDIT in the command field. It will give you information message in the bottom "SAP editing function activated" ("Maintain entries" check box will be visible).
Let us examine the ABAP code for the program behind ME5A
DATA: l_action LIKE esdus_s-action VALUE 'RM06BA00'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_SET_REPORT_USERVARIANT'
   EXPORTING
     im_report           = l_report
     im_esdus_action     = l_action
     im_standard_variant = l_variant.
MOVE l_action      TO my_esduscom-action.
MOVE 'USERVARIANT' TO my_esduscom-element.
MOVE sy-slset      TO my_esduscom-active.
Stay in SE16N and in the field "Act." enter RM06BA00 and execute. You'll see all the users who executed the ME5A (a.k.a program RM06BA00) and the default variant SAP selects is "SAP&STANDARD" which is a system variant, in the "Active" field. Change that value to what user want to be defaulted. Keep the value 'USERVARIANT' in the El. field. Click save on the top. It will popup a window records inserted, deleted, changed. Just hit enter.
Now whenever the user executes it will be defaulted to whatever you rewrote in the table.
Caution: Do not use &SAP_EDIT with other tables especially which share common primary keys it can serious problems in your database.

How enhance the default variant in standard transaction COOIS (SAP&COOIS) as per the user requirement

Hi,
I have one query that how to enhance the standard default variant (SAP&COOIS) for standard transaction COOIS.
If any one know solution pls share.
Thanks & Regards,
J.Goud

Hi Maine,
Thanks for your reply.
As you mentioned for your own program, you can control the parameter "I_SAVE", when calling "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
so already i have use the same logic and control the parameter through I_SAVE and here i am calling method ALV_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY instead of "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
and it works fine when we execute the report but the logic doesnt work when the user tries to change and save the layout variant on the output screen of the report.

Report layout with User default and gobal default

hi,
any authorization to control report layout, only some user ID can use "user default" layout, and part of user available to set the layout as default
thanks

Is is a custom-developed ALV report or an SAP-supplied one?
If if is custom-developed, you can register the following user-commands
&AVE - Save layout
&OL0 - Change layout
&OAD - Select layout
in parameter IT_EVENT_EXIT of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. When these user-commands are triggered, control passes to the user command routine in your callback program. In the callback routine, you can implement authorization/security checks.
Also look at parameters IS_VARIANT and I_SAVE to control use of variants.,
If it is an SAP-supplied program, try using the auth-object mentioned in my earlier post.

Default variant

Hi All,
I have created a variant for VA01 Transaction and selected fields which we need Using configuration button activated the variant and it is available throughout the client.. and it is working fine.
I want to know how to make this variant as default for all users in the system? some of the users have their own variant now we want to make one variant as default variant for all.
pls let me know if any one know abt this....
Thanks & Regards,
sksk.

Hi,
Following are the setps for creating variant, attaching it to the target transaction & making available for all the users -
1. Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction by changing the layout through hiding fields and screens.
2. Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 = ZVA02). Next allocate the transaction variant to this variant transaction.
In 4.6c, you can default your transaction variant as the standard variant. (SHD0 - Edit -> Activate/Deactivate as standard variant)
For more details, find the following link -

Setting Default Variant for Report Trans

Hi All,
Is there a way to set a default Variant to a reporting transaction? for example for ME2N how do I set a default Variant to be imported to the selection screen automatically once the report transaction is called?
This is useful if the user uses the same variant all the time.
Thanks in advance!

Pls try the below example
I give you one example,
Enter t-code ME2N, Then click on Dynamic field selection button.
Then double click on created by field enter enter any user id in it.
Then click on save button.After click on this screen your can see one other screen for variant.
Here you have to assign variant name and meaning. You can also change field status for report with help of this screen.
Before click on save button, tick on protect check box button and then click on save.
Then exit from transaction and enter ME2N.
Click on Get variant button. Here you can see list of variant, select your variant and get report as per your requirement.

Default variant for VL10C

Hello All,
My user wants to have a default variant loaded automatically, when VL10C is launched.
Any idea how to do that?
I tried to set up parameter in user profile LE_SHP_DEL_MON_LISTT but it doesnt work.
Your help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Michal

I have one additional question. .
When I go to transaction Vl10c and execute it with some selection criteria i get the work list. I modify the layout of the work list and save it. Then i want to go to settings-layout-administration to make a layout default but for some reason i am missing Settings option in my menu. I have only System and Help.
Regular menu for this transaction should be List Edit Goto Settings System Help. I have only System and Help.
Any idea how to deal with that?
Thanks for help!

Selection of default variant on MF60 pull list

Hello,

Waiting for your reply.

Hi,
Create the variants as U_username1 and U_username2.
Whenever user1 executes the transaction, he will get only his selection screen.
U_ is user specific variant declaration.

Report always shows default variant

Hello,
I've got a report where we can choose a variant in the selection screen.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SEL2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-002.
PARAMETERS p_layout TYPE slis_vari.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SEL2.
I've got it setup so that when the user runs the report, the field p_layout is filled with his default variant or if he has none it's empty.
My problem is when the field is empty the result ALV is always shown with the default variant.
For example:
User has 2 variants - SAV1 and SAV2 (default).
User enters selection screen and p_layout is filled with SAV2.
Scenario 1:
User presses F8 and the ALV is shown with the variant SAV2
Scenario 2:
User changes p_layout to SAV1 and presses F8. ALV is shown with SAV1 variant
Scenario 3:
User emptys p_layout (p_layout IS INITIAL), presses F8 and ALV is shown with SAV2 variant - the default one
What can I do so that when p_layout IS INITIAL the ALV shows all the columns?
This is how I define the layout:
       gr_layout = gr_alv->get_layout( ).
       MOVE sy-repid TO gs_layout_key-report.
       gr_layout->set_key( gs_layout_key ).
       gr_layout->set_save_restriction( if_salv_c_layout=>restrict_none ).
       gr_layout->set_default( 'X' ).
       gr_layout->set_initial_layout( p_layout ).
F4 help for p_layout:
   ls_layout_key-report = sy-repid.
   ls_layout_info = cl_salv_layout_service=>f4_layouts( ls_layout_key ).
   p_layout = ls_layout_info-layout.
Initialization of p_layout:
   gs_variant-report = sy-repid.
   CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
     EXPORTING
       I_SAVE        = 'A'
     CHANGING
       CS_VARIANT    = gs_variant
     EXCEPTIONS
       WRONG_INPUT   = 1
       NOT_FOUND     = 2
       PROGRAM_ERROR = 3
       OTHERS        = 4.
   IF sy-subrc = 2 OR sy-subrc = 0.
     p_layout = gs_variant-variant.
   ELSE.
     MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.
the sy-subrc = 2 is there to prevent error if user has no layouts => p_layout stays empty
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Thanga Prakash for your help, it lead me to the an awnser.
Even after I cleared the p_layout I still had the same issue but after reviewing the code once more I deleted the following line
gr_layout->set_default( 'X' ).
With this, if no layout was specified (p_layout IS INITIAL) the default variant was always called.
