You can add your own display variants and their names to the standard display variants. In the detail screen for defining display variants you can determine which fields will be displayed in the basic list of journal entries. The Insert before.../Insert after... function displays a list of fields that you can add to the variant.

Under Environment, you must assign at least one permitted totals variant to each display variant. This is a prerequisite for the totaling function. Also under Environment you can choose a field selection for each display variant. If you do not do this, the display variant is assigned to the field selection that has been maintained as the default field selection under Goto (see below).

The display variant can be set to status Inactive if it should not appear in the selection screen.

After you have maintained the variants, you should Generate them if the list of fields for column structure was changed. You then need to save the settings.

You define the totals variants in the same way as the display variants. A maximum of three fields can be chosen from the totaling field list.

The Default values... function determines which display variant and totals variant is to be the default on the request screen.

There is no need to maintain the field name under Sort, since the system always sorts the basic list according to the first four displayed fields. Neither do you need to maintain the Selection criteria. Even though these functions do not require maintaining for the Consolidation journal entry reports, they are nevertheless displayed due to the fact that Journal Entry Report Customizing is cross-application, and these functions are needed elsewhere in the system.
