Use

The line layout is the definition of the list format for the items to be displayed. Line layout variants consist of a number of fields. These constitute the columns of the list and therefore determine the line layout of a list line. All lines in the list have the same line layout. The line layout also determines the output of the cleared items for a payment document in the payment list.

The category of the line layout variant is an important attribute: Single item variant or totals variant.

With totals variants, the selected items are cumulated before the output for all non-amount fields of the variant, so that a variant that only consists of a business partner/contract account/amount only gives one list line for 100 items with the same business partner/contract account.

Prerequisites

 You have defined line layout variants in Customizing (see IMG structure: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable Basic Functions Account Balance Display Define Line Layout Variants ).

Features

The system outputs each output line in accordance with your specifications of the line layout. If the totals variant is the category of the list layout variant, the single items are cumulated before output.

You can also define a hierarchy of line layout variants. In the system, this is defined as a totals variant with subsequent variants. This hierarchy has a maximum of four levels.

In the line layout, you can define a Pointer field (field name, POINT ) - normally the first field of the variant. Click on this field to display the items of the selected lines in the next lowest variant.
