Hi,

The situation we go for final window is,

You may want to display or query values on the first page that are determined only during processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the letter text of an invoice. However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items. Or you may want to query on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which the system calculates only after processing all pages.

In such a case, you use the final window: Processing first skips all windows of this type in the tree and works its way to the end of the tree. Only after the actual processing is finished, the final windows are processed in the order in which they appear in the tree (from top to bottom). Now any information is available that is known only at the end of the form processing

Copies window

use the copies window to define an output area for the print output, whose content you want to appear either only on the copy or only on the original

we use this window type only if you want to print copies of your form

We Need to Generate a table in order to maintain the table via SM30.

This is how you create a Table Maintenance Generator,

1)Go to Se11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table maintenance generator.

2)In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group, Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name), Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one step. we should give maintenance screen number.

3)After clicking on create button, a table maintenance generator will be created.

4)To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.

5)We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table entries by choosing Maintain.

6) Before creating a table maintenance, create a function group for it. You can use one function group for many table maintenances. Authorization groups can be created from within the table maintenance generator .

reward if it helps..

Regards,

Omakr.

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator

Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.

Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.
