Default Layout by PR Document Type

[#1]

I am trying to define different layouts based on different PR document types. I noticed there are two fields when defining a new document type.

Field Selection

Layout

I have been able to use the Field Selection option to control what is available on the screen, but not the sequence the fields are in. I am not sure how the Layout field is suppose to work, but I entered the Variant I created on ME51N, but it didn't work.

Any help or clarification on the Layout field would be much appreciated.

Bradley E...you had asked in one of your post about the purpose of the layout field on field selection. Did you ever get an answer on this? We have a value of SRV in that field and I'm wondering what it means (and what will happen if I remove it.) I'm trying to figure out why our validity dates aren't coming up anymore on framework PRs and I think it might have to do with this layout field.

Thanks!

What is the purpose of the layout field on the document type?

If you want to make the field at the req either required, op[tional or you can hide with this config.

The config from SPRO will not help you te setup the Lau out at ME51n Level

You can create a variant at Me51n and save as the z name then next time you will log in you will see the same layout of the field sequence but you can't set up based on the document type except you do custom modification.
