Features

New User Interface for ABAP Lists

Various ABAP lists already delivered have received a new interface. Many of the lists delivered by SAP have very individual graphic display and interaction options. With the new interface, these display options are harmonized and standardized so that the user can take advantage of the capabilities of the list without knowing the individual functions of each list.

When you activate the business function, the new interface will be used as standard for ABAP lists. For some of these lists, you can subsequently define (mostly at report level), whether you want to use the new interface or one of the ABAP lists previously delivered.

This might make sense for the following reasons:

  • The users may know the appearance of a list well and not want a new interface.

  • In some cases, the standardization of specialized user interfaces means you then have to do without individual functions. Users may prefer to retain individual functions and accept that interfaces are not standardized.
