Create Report Variants for Correspondence (SAP Library

Create Report Variants for Correspondence

In this activity you can define the variants for the correspondence that you require.

You define the selection variants independently of the company code and the type of correspondence.

Example

Correspondence type internal document, program RFKORD30, variant SAP09

Recommendation

Usually only the fields in the output control and print control areas, as well as the field correspondence in the test run area, are of interest for a selection variant.

The remaining fields in the test run area are used if the documents are to be output directly with the print program.

Activities

1. Find out the name of the appropriate print program. You can get an overview of the existing programs using the function Tools -> Program search. To search for standard programs, enter RFKORD*, or to search for customer-defined programs ZFKORD*, for example. An up-to-date list of programs is displayed.

2. Select the required program from the list and run it. The system takes you to the selection screen.
Here you can either change an existing variant or create one of your own.
To change a standard variant, you can display the variant using the function fetch variant . You can then change these variants and then save them under your own name (customer name range).
To create your own variant, enter the selection criteria directly and then save this variant under your own name (customer name range).

3. In Customizing, specify the report name and the variant for the report assignment for the correspondence type. You can do this in the activity Assign Programs for Correspondence Types .

Additional information

There are report variants for the different correspondence types in client 000. For more information about the system settings, see the corresponding program documentation.
