Error: Variant 1706 intended only for background processing.

[umeshasawa3]

*I have created a variant 1706 At T Code: ME51N (Create purchase requisition).*

*Now when I go to this transaction & click document overview on push button, SAP throws error as Variant 1706 intended only for background processing .*

*How to get rid of this error.*

Hi,

go to any report ,while create / or saving options , it has some check Boxes for varint to Hide fields or to run the variant in background Only..

to try to remove the Only background option in variant.

go to table VARID-->and change field 'ENVIRONMNT' from B to A then it will work..

or Use FM 'RS_VARIANT_CHANGE' by passing the variant name and Report name Remove the Environment Flag..

Hi,

try this way...

go to se37--> Fm 'RS_VARIANT_CHANGE' ->enter Report name (RM07DOCS) & Variant Name (1706)

-->execute

--->next select Variant attributes and Uncheck the 'Only in back ground'

save and come back...

I am having a similar error with when I created a variant 'T01' in transaction ME21N.

I tried following steps,

     SE37

--> Functional Module: RS_VARIANT_CHANGE

but I could only enter in display mode.

I am not able to enter in change mode because I don't have 'Access Key.

is there any other way?
