Screen Sequence Groups

[Former Member]

Does anyone have a reference to the different screen sequence groups for Sales Document Types and how they are different from each other? I want to set my Text Determination for my Quantity Contracts to allow the Text in overview screen, but I get message no. VC249 which tells me that my ZCQ order type is assigned to screen sequence group LP and LP cannot be used with text edit control. This message suggests that I reset the text ID (what does this mean?) or assign order type ZCQ to a different screen sequence group in Customizing for order types. I hesitate to switch my order type ZCQ from LP to AU without knowing just what changes this will cause. Any help is appreciated.

"Reset" in this case probably means that you should blank out the text ID because it is not allowed.

As for changing the screen sequence group from LP to AU, that'd probably mean some significant difference since AU is for orders while LP is for outline agreements, like contracts. I'm not sure if changing that is a good idea or not, but you could try it and see if it works for you.

Generally speaking, screen sequence control is a pretty complicated process and unfortunately I don't have good documentation about how it all works so that it would explain to you what such a change means.

I've seen quite a few posts and blog entries (mainly in the CRM area) here on SDN about this topic, so those may help you in understanding the whole thing. Search for screensequencecontrol as the search term.
