Customer-Specific Enhancements

Creating Pricing Reports with Variants

As a prerequisite for the following area menu enhancements, you may have to set up new pricing reports and/or selection variants for pricing reports.

Creating pricing reports is described in the unit Creating Pricing Reports

Note You receive a selection variant for a pricing report, if you execute a pricing report (transaction V/LD), enter the selection criteria (for example, the number of customers) and then choose Goto ® Variants ® Save as a variant.

Maintaining Area Menus

The standard area menu for condition maintenance is COND_AV. This should not be changed, but – if required – can be copied and supplemented.

You can create your own area menus in Tools ® ABAP Workbench ® Development ® Other tools ® Area menus (Transaction SE43). You can create a tree structure in the area menu (more information on maintaining area menus can be found in the extended help in transaction se43). In the tree structure you can enter a pricing report with or without a variant for selection for condition maintenance. You can also determine whether the list should be executed with or without the selection screen when double-clicking in the navigation tree of the area menu (The selection screen is needed for the pricing reports pre-defined in the standard system, as they always have required entry fields). The pricing report is then available for selecting condition records to be maintained in your own area menu.

Example You want to give an employee a selection for maintaining conditions, containing the customers that he is responsible for.

You execute pricing report 28 from the standard system. This contains customers as a selection.

You enter the corresponding customer in the selection and save this selection as a variant.

In the area menu that you assign to the employee, use the transaction SE43 to enter the name of the pricing report and the name of the selection variant.

Caution Note that here the name of the pricing report is not entered as 28, as was the case when selecting the pricing report, but an internally assigned name, that was entered alongside 28. You can also see this name by displaying the pricing report (transaction V/LC). In our example the name is /1SDBF12L/RV14AK28.

Assigning Employees to the Area Menu

The area menus that you have set up can be assigned by an employee himself. He must go into the area menu and choose Environment ® Assign area menu.

Note In the area menu that you have assigned, only those activities that work with the selected pricing reports are supported. You cannot integrate any other activities here that, for example, use a transaction.

Defining Screen Variants

There are screen variants available in the standard system. In Customizing you can set up your own screen variants under General Settings ® Field Display Characteristics ® Configure application transaction fields (transaction SHD0):

Choose Goto ® Screen variants.

Enter transaction VK31.

Enter the program name SAPMV13A.

Enter the screen number 3011.

Choose Create screen variant.

The transaction chosen is then carried out. Also maintain the sequence and width of the fields.

There is an additional dialog box where you can select the field you want.

Note Not all of the options that you are offered are suitable for condition maintenance. You cannot select obligatory. The following functions are supported:

Column sequence
Column width
Invisibility
Issue only

You can select the screen variants for field selection in the conditions overview screen, for representing the condition records in table form.
