In Release 3.0 the field "Controlling area" has been removed from the initial screens of CO application transactions. This means that users who work within a single controlling area do not have to make the same entry every time a new transaction is started.
The value for the controlling area is stored as a user parameter in the SAP System. You can define it manually by using the function "System -> User profile -> User parameters" to enter a value for the Parameter-ID "CAC" for each user. This value is then set automatically when the user in question logs on to the system.
You can also use the function "Set CO area..." in all initial screens and main application menus to display and change the current controlling area. The new value is then set automatically for all subsequent CO transactions you use. Every change to the controlling area must be confirmed explicitly by the user.
If you work in more than one session, you should note that any changes you make to the controlling area are valid for all the other sessions in which you are working.
Batch input sessions which use the field "Controlling area" should be changed so the popup "Set Controlling Area" is displayed before the transaction itself is started:
| Transaction name: | OKKS |
| Function pool: | SAPLSPO4 |
| Dynpro number: | 0100 |
| Field name: | SVALD-VALUE(1). |
When creating batch input sessions automatically, you can use the function module 'K_KOKRS_SET_BATCHINPUT' to do this.
