Define subscreens for coding block

R/3 System account assignment transactions use subscreens, which contain the various account assignment fields. When generating the screens for these transactions, the system searches for the most suitable subscreen, that is, the one containing the most required fields.

If there is no subscreen that contains all the necessary fields, you have to enter the additional fields in a separate dialog box.

You can define your own subscreens in this step. This means you can structure your subscreens to suit your own requirements and thus avoid having to enter account assignment fields in an additional dialog box.

Note

Any changes you make apply in all clients and for all transactions that use the coding block.

Requirements

To be able to maintain subscreens, you must have authorization to maintain cross-client tables ( S_TABU_CLI).

Defining subscreens

To define a subscreen, proceed as follows:

1. On the Maintain Coding Block Subscreens: Overview screen, select the Create function.
The system displays the Maintain Coding Block Subscreens: Detail screen.
2. Enter a 4-character number and a description for your subscreen.
The numbers 9000 to 9999 are reserved for customer subscreens. The system proposes the next available number from this interval. You can overwrite the proposed value, if required.
3. Enter a number between 1 and 9 in the Priority field (1 = highest; 9 = lowest).
The priority allows you to "fine tune" the search for the most suitable subscreen.
4. Maintain the Active indicator.
When looking for suitable subscreens, the system only takes into account those which are both active and generated.
Note
This function allows you to deactivate both your own subscreens and the standard SAP subscreens if you do not want to use them.
5. Select the Fields you want to use in your subscreen.
You select a field by assigning a valid position on the subscreen.
Each subscreen can accommodate a maximum of 10 fields. The positions are numbered from 1 (1st line left) to 10 (5th line right). In several posting transactions ( ->) larger subscreens with a maximum of 40 fields are possible, but these subscreens are not selected during most transactions.
In certain fields you can display master data texts for the field values. To do this, select the "With text" field. An entire row is necessary for this field.
Example
Let us assume you have defined your subscreen as follows:
Field Name Position With text
Asset 1
Order 3 X
Cost center 2
Material 5
Plant 6
In this subscreen the account assignment fields would be displayed as follows:
Asset Cost center
Order Short descrip. of order
Material Plant
6. When you have finished maintaining your subscreen, you have to save it. Subscreens are saved in two steps:
a) You store the subscreen in the system using the Save function. The subscreen is, however, latent.
Subscreens which are not yet effective are flagged as "Not generated" in the overview list.
b) You activate the subscreen throughout the system using the Generate function.

Note

If you have no further use for one of your own subscreens, you can either delete it from the list, or deactivate it using the Active indicator. The latter method has the advantage that you can regenerate the subscreen later and use it again.

Maintaining SAP subscreens

The changes you can make to the SAP subscreens delivered in the standard system are very limited:

Note

If you try to delete an SAP subscreen, the system deletes only the changes you made and restores the standard delivery version.

Reset to standard

Using this function, you can restore all the subscreens to the standard delivery version. Your changes are not lost, however:

Generate all

Using this function, you can generate all subscreens

Activities

1. Check whether the standard SAP subscreens meet all your requirements.
2. Create new subscreens if necessary.
3. If necessary, change the priority or the active indicator for the preset subscreens.
