Changing the User Interface for Contract

Use

You use this function to make all of the fundamental settings for the processing of loans. You can use the same functions as those under Displaying a Consumer Loan and the additional functions described in the Scope of Functions section.

Prerequisites

You need to have completed the following IMG activities in the Customizing settings for Loans Management :

  • You determine which fields the system ALV Grid Control offers in the column set on the Model Calculation tab page in the IMG for Loans Management under Start of the navigation path Transaction Management Next navigation step Define Condition Types End of the navigation path . The system only displays those that are filled with a value for the loan in question.

  • The fields offered in the column set in the ALV Grid Control on the Contract tab page are determined by the system. There are numerous fields from the contract master data.

  • The field descriptions depend upon your condition types. You can adjust the descriptions in the IMG for Loans Management under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Basic Settings Next navigation step Define Indicators for Interface Fields End of the navigation path .

    The original descriptions of the fields are in the corresponding ABAP dictionary table.

    You can also adjust the description of the user fields under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step User Fields End of the navigation path . If, however, you have defined a description for this field in the IMG activity Define Indicators for Interface Fields , the system uses this description preferentially.

Scope of Functions

  • You can determine which fields the system displays in the functions Create, Change , and Display Consumer Loan in all ALV Grid Controls, and the width of the individual columns for all users. These settings have priority over the settings made by the users themselves.

    For more information, see SAP List Viewer (ALV) Grid Control (BC-SRV-ALV) .

    • Model calculation and model comparison:

      On the Model Calculation or Model Comparison tab page, in the respective ALV Grid Control, choose the functions under Layout Settings .

    • Contract

      Within the Start of the navigation path Consumer Loans – Administration function choose Administration Next navigation step Process Layouts for Contract Fields. End of the navigation path

      • Three rows are available. You can decide which fields are to be displayed in each row. SAP recommends that you arrange the fields by subject, for example by conditions or contract master data.

      • You can create and change several layouts, containing the fields from a field set, for each row.To do this select the relevant row and choose Change Layout .

      • You can have the system display the user-specific layouts that exist in the system.

      • You can determine the fields offered by the system depending on the status of the loan.

        Call a loan with the required status and choose A Start of the navigation path dministration Next navigation step Edit Layouts for Contract Fields End of the navigation path

        When a loan is processed the system displays the fields according to the status of the loan when it is called. The selection of displayed fields only changes when the loan is saved in another status.

        You call the loan by choosing Start of the navigation path Consumer Loan Next navigation step Edit End of the navigation path . The loan has the status Application . The field selection corresponds to the status Application .

        Enter Contract in the Status field. The field selection still corresponds to the status Application .

        Save the loan in status Contract . The field selection corresponds to the status Contract .

  • The following table contains an overview of which of the layouts supplied by SAP you can adjust for all users (within this function) and at a user-specific level (in the functions Edit, Change and Display Consumer Loan ):
