Procedure documentation Setting Defaults Before List Creation Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

It is possible for you to manipulate the list display even before creating the list. For this purpose, the system provides you with various functions in the menu option Settings.

Display Variant

You may choose a display variant. The display variant determines the contents and the structure of the list. Various standard display variants are provided for you to choose from in a dialog box, independent of the selection criteria which you entered. Additional and special variants may be defined in Customizing by your system administrator. Special variants make up a display at schedule line level which may lead to longer run-times as they contain very detailed information.

List Starting Point

You may choose whether you reach the list totals screen first or the list of individual documents. To do this, go to the List initial screen and choose Settings ® List begins with. A dialog box appears. Choose between individual or totals displays.

Totals Variant

If you have chosen the totals screen for the list starting point, you will be asked to specify your totals variant. You can either use the standard totals variant proposed by the system or you may choose your own summation fields.

To choose the standard totals variant:

  1. Choose Settings ® Totals variant in the initial screen for list display.

    2. A dialog box appears containing the totals variants that match the selection criteria you entered earlier.

  2. Decide whether you want to sort the list in descending order. If you do not select the Descending field with a check, the list is automatically sorted in ascending order.
  3. Choose a totals variant. Position the cursor on the variant of your choice and choose Enter.

A system message informs you that the summation fields have been saved.

To choose your own summation fields:

  1. Choose Settings ® Totals variant in the initial screen for list display.
  2. Choose the function Choose fields in the totals variant dialog box. Another dialog box with summation fields appears.
  3. Decide whether you want to sort the list in descending order. If you do not select the Descending field with a check, the list will be automatically sorted in ascending order.
  4. Choose up to a maximum number of three summation fields in the order of your choice (enter 1, 2 and 3).
  5. Choose Enter to confirm the summation fields. A system message informs you that the summation fields have been saved.

Display

By choosing Settings ® Display in the list initial screen, you can check which settings you have made. A dialog box appears in which the totals variants, the list starting point, as well as the display variants which you have chosen are listed.
