Define Selection Variants for Cost Centers

Aselection variant contains the fields that are to be evaluated in your selection report. These fields determine the content and structure of a selection variant.

The following selection reports are available:

- For cost elements RKKOASEL
- For cost centers RKKSTSEL
- For activity types RKLSTSEL
- For business processes RKPRZSEL
- For internal orders RKOSEL00
- For projects RKPSEL00

You enter the selection values in the corresponding fields, and can overwrite these in the application. You can hide the fields that you do not require.

When you process "variant attributes", you can specify variables for selection variant fields, and so on.

Example

If you wish to select your objects by time, then define a selection variant, which only contains master data fields for times.

Standard Settings

The following selection variants are defined for internal orders:

Activities

If you wish to create your own selection variants, proceed as follows:

1. Enter a name for your variant in the "ABAP: Initial screen for variants"
2. Confirm the "Values" default setting in the "Subobjects" group box, and choose "Create". In the "Variant maintenance: Report <your selection report>" screen, the system displays the selection fields for the corresponding master data.
3. Enter the values or variables in the fields that you wish the system to use for selection.
4. Choose Continue.
This takes you to the Attribute maintenance screen for the selection variants.
5. You can assign the following field attributes:
The value that you specified for the field can no longer be overwritten in the application.
The system hides this field from the selection variant.
You can define a variable for a field, such as a user-defined selection rule (compare with the "Define selection rule" section). The field is filled with the corresponding value during runtime.
6. Enter a short text in the "Description" field.
7. Save your entries.

This variant is now available for the corresponding selection report.

Transport notes

You can transport selection variants manually by proceeding as follows:
