Create
Selection Variants
In this step, you create a
selection variant for collective processing in periodic bulk
processing. You use collective variants for the following functions in the
Project System.
- Determination of project-related incoming
orders
You can define both the content and the
structure of the selection variant.
Example
If you want to select your objects by date,
define a selection variant which contains only the master data fields relevant
to dates.
Activities
1. Create your
own selection variant as follows:
a) Access the
function "Selection variants".
The screen "ABAP/4:
Variants - Initial Screen" is displayed.
b) Enter a name
for your variant in the corresponding field, select the object component
"Values" and press "Create".
c) You branch
to the screen "Maintain Variants for <your report>". The selection
fields which are defined for the corresponding ABAP/4 report are displayed
here.
d) Enter the
corresponding values for the required fields.
e) Press
"Continue".
f) You branch
to attribute maintenance for the selection variant. You can assign the
following field attributes here:
Protected
The value you have
defined for the field can no longer be overwritten in the
application.
Hidden
The field is hidden
from the selection variant display.
Variable
You use this
indicator to define a variable for a field. The field is then provided with
the corresponding value at runtime.
g) When you
have maintained the attributes and entered a short text in the "Description"
field, you can save your entries.
This variant is now available when you access
collective processing for settlement and surcharge calculation.
