Set List Editing for Functional Locations in Service

Here, you can define the possible selection fields which occupy selection fields with concrete values and make the field selection for the list display.

Procedure

When you execute the function, you reach a screen in which you have several selection options.

You usually find the functions:

When you choose selection fields, you reach an additional window, in which you must mark 'Variant for all selection screens'.

By choosing 'Continue', you reach another screen in which you can specify attributes for the selections fields.

The attributes have the following meaning:

This means that this field is displayed in the selection screen, but is not ready for input.
For example, you have a selection field with a value which should not be changed by the user.
This means that this field is hidden in the selection screen and cannot be used as a selection criterion.
This means that this field is given a variable, not a concrete value.
For example, if the selection is always performed using a certain call horizon (for example, the current month). In this case, you would enter the variable 'current month'. The current month would therefore be proposed as a selection criterion.

Note

Each user can also create their own selection screen. The selection screen defined by you is only then proposed by the system, if no individual selection screen has been defined for the user under their user name.

If you want to define an individual selection screen for each user, and the user-specific selection screen should be proposed automatically when the report is called up, the name of the report variant must begin with 'U_USERNAME'.

Maintenance of selection variants

When you execute the function, you reach the initial screen with all the selection fields. There you can define the standard selection screen. This selection screen is then always proposed if no individual selection screen has been defined for the user under the name 'U_USERNAME'.
The name of the selection variant is always 'SAP_TCODE_XXXX'. XXXX stands for the relevant application transaction.

Maintenance or user-specific selection screens

This function is not set using Customizing.
The individual user maintains the user-specific selection variants by calling up and executing the individual transaction.
The user can call up the function 'Settings' from the list, and generate their own selection screen there using the function 'Set variants'.
The system thereby automatically generates the variant 'U_USERNAME', which is always called up for the user after saving for subsequent transactions used.

Setting the field selection settings

You maintain the field selection for the list by executing the report, and then choosing 'Settings' -> 'Display variants' in the list.

Note that the setting you make here for the field selection becomes a presetting, which is then always used if the individual user has not defined their own field selection.
