Define Layout
of Worklists
In the following sections, you define the
layout of list displays for work lists.
You vary the layout of the work lists the same
way for all deliveries, billing documents and invoice lists. The general
procedure is therefore described in this menu option. In the menu options for
the individual deliveries, billing documents and invoice lists (see "Sales and
Distribution" --> "Reports" --> "Work lists" and selection of the
respective work list), you only find the respective additional
information.
Note
- If you copied your specifications for the list
display from one client into another, you must generate these specifications
in the new client.
To do this, choose the menu option "Environment" -->
"Generation".
- The SAP System automatically generates the
work list for all the relevant items. You must NOT activate the update of an
index.
General
procedure
You can make the following settings for the
work list display:
- create a new display variant
By means of a
display variant, you determine which fields are displayed on the screen when
displaying a work list.
Every display
variant has its own information.
One display variant can contain the number of the sold-to party, for example,
while another display variant contains the number of the ship-to
party.
You can call the
different display variants when displaying the work lists.
- change the existing display
variant
To change a display
variant you can, among other things:
- change the sequence of the fields
- delete fields from the display
- change the selection criteria
- create or change the totals
variant
Totals can be
calculated according to different criteria in the display of a work list. The
criteria each form one totals variant.
- determine the default values
One display variant
and one totals variant is allocated to a work list as a default value. These
variants are displayed during the first call of the work list in the
session.
- Choose fields for searching, sorting and
summing up in a list
Proceed as follows for the individual
settings:

variant

display variant, you must make the following specifications:
- Specify a three-digit key. The key must start
with the letter "Z".
Choose the fields
for the display variant in exactly the same sequence that you want them to be
displayed on the screen. A field list is available as an entry tool during the
selection.
- Define the column headings.
- Define the print layout and the display. To do
this, you must specify the output format and the output position of the
individual fields for the display format.
Choose one or more
totals variant for a display variant.
The line layout of the display variant must contain the fields of the chosen
totals variants as a requirement.
In addition, choose
the fields for the user-defined searching, sorting and summing up in the
list.
You might have to
define additional fields for every display variant by choosing the required
fields from the field list.

variant

variant, choose it and make the changes on the corresponding detail
screens.
