    2. Display variants enable you to specify which information is to be displayed in a list (such as the log).

    Display variants enable you to display additional fields (such as the area of responsibility or grouping term), or hide unnecessary ones, and so adapt the list to suit your requirements. For more information, see Functions of the ABAP List Viewer.

    2. To print the log that is currently displayed, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text. In certain logs, you can obtain a print preview by choosing This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

    To print the logs generated by the costing run, choose Environment ® Costing Run ® Print Logs in the Product Cost Planning menu. For more information, see Structure link Printing the Log.

  2. Sending Messages

Note

The error management key in the costing variant determines whether you can send messages through Structure link message control.

The message is sent on the date that was specified in Customizing for Product Cost Planning (for example, when you save the cost estimate). For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Product Cost Planning under ® Basic Settings for Material Costing ® Error Management ® Define Message Control.

To send messages, select the messages in the log and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text or Extras ® Send messages.

Note

Messages are normally only sent in Product Cost Planning via message control. If you want to use this function for sales order costing, order BOM costing or preliminary costing for product cost collectors, you must first of all change the setting in the costing variant and then make the necessary settings in Customizing for Product Cost Planning.
