Displaying Items in an Accounting Document in List Format 

Description

In Release 4.5A you can branch directly to the respective accounting document in list format by double-clicking on an item in the line item display. You can reach the same screen using document display.

If required, you can configure the jump from the line item display per user in the Financial Accounting options.

The list format of the items in the accounting document contains fewer functions than the existing document overview. However, the list display offers the user new functions, such as:

You cannot reach the following functions from the list display and you have to select them using the conventional path: Displaying/editing long texts, changing to another document, displaying secondary data such as tax data, long texts, or change documents, and other related objects.

In addition, the list display is not possible, or only to a limited extent, for archived and statistical documents.

Changes in procedure

You can make all the settings directly from the list display using the menu. By using user-specific line layout variants, you can control how the list is to appear on the screen according to your individual requirements. This way you can define the data you have selected for analyzing the business transaction or for further processing. However, only the standard fields from the line item display are available for the display. You cannot display special fields.

You define and manage line layout variants in a window in which you transfer the required display fields from all the fields available (right table) to the left table. You can configure other display variants here.

The standard system includes an initial display variant. You can define additional display variants (as well as an initial variant) according to your needs.
The line layout variants do not refer to the line layout for the traditional document overview. You have to create new variants for the list depending on the conventional format.
