Up to now, there were separate transactions for creating, changing and displaying appropriation requests. Now this distinction no longer exists. Instead, you carry out all of these activities using the "Edit Appropriation Request" function.
Different Processing Transactions
There are now three different transactions for editing appropriation requests. The three differ from each other in their tab layouts and screen layouts.
In conjunction with the roles supplied by SAP, users receive not only a selection of transactions based on their job requirements, but also a screen layout in these transactions that is suited to their individual needs. In this way, appropriation requests that have the same request type can have a screen layout that is dependent on the duties of the particular user. You can also change the screen layout supplied by SAP, as well as the pre-defined tab layout, for all three transactions.
Editing Appropriation Requests via the Internet
Up to now, users could only create and change appropriation requests if they had access to an R/3 System (for example, in corporate headquarters).
Now you can create, edit and plan appropriation requests using the Internet. These transactions make use of a Web browser that provides access to an Internet Transaction Server.
This means that all employees of an an enterprise with a central R/3 System can maintain appropriation requests using the Internet, even if the subsidiaries do not normally have access to the R/3 System.
In Customizing for Investment Management, you can specify, per transaction, the search criteria that the system should offer for selection in the initial screen. You can also set search criteria as default values. Choose Master Data -> Control Data -> Edit Selection Criteria.
You enter the tab layout in the appropriation request type.
