Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction by changing the layout through hiding fields and screens.

Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 = ZVA02).

Hai vijay,

Transaction Variants is used to make fields Mandatory, Hidden or Display. Also applicable to screens and tabstrips.

You can hide unwanted screens and fields in any of the standard SAP programs without changing any of the standard programs. Additional features such as making the variant as default on the standard SAP transaction code is only available as of 4.6x.

Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction by changing the layout through hiding fields and screens.

Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 = ZVA02).

Next allocate the transaction variant to this variant transaction.

In 4.6c, you can default your transaction variant as the standard variant. (SHD0 - Edit -> Activate/Deactivate as standard variant)

Read the application help provided in SHD0 trxn.

Regards,

Srikanth.

Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.

To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).

Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).

To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.

Hi,

Transaction variants

Transaction variants adjust complex SAP System transactions to customer business processes, by e.g. hiding superfluous information and adding other information such as pushbuttons, text or graphics. You can put a transaction variant call in a user menu by entering the transaction code and variant which you created in the transaction SHD0.

Variant Transaction
