using SHD0(transaction variant) and disable the fields

[Former Member]

Hi I need to disable certain fields in VA01 and I am using SHD0(transaction variant) for this.

My question is, what will the end result?

I want my user to use VA01 (and not Zva01) and I dont want to create another t-code for the same ( with all the screen

modification I have done thru transaction variant ).

So how will I assign the transaction variant that I have created to VA01.

<u>Help.sap.com says:</u>

<i>Using a standard variant is one solution to this problem. No new transaction codes are necessary with standard variants.</i>

Hi Flora,

You can overwrite t/code VA01 with your transaction variant. But this is not best SAP Practice. You still want to keep standard SAP t/code VA01.

You may want to create custom transaction via SE93 and call above transaction variant.

Hope this will help.

Hi ferry, thanks for replying.

If we open va01 in SE93 we can see that the check box

"Maintenance of standard transaction variant allowed"

is checked.

Wil this be helpful to solve my problem.

Hi Flora,

I believe so and please give it try.

Apologies ... I can not confirm since I don't have SAP system now. I have done in the past and it worked.

Please keep the original VA01 to avoid confusion later on.

Use Standard Variants For VA01 and activate standard variant using SHD0.
