Hi,
I have an issue while selecting the required fields for selection on the Standard table.
VBAK --> Settings > Fields for Selection> Select required fields and save it as a variant.
It looks good for that day but it again changes to the standard selection fields on the selection screen.
Is there any way that i can keep the Fields for selection on the selection screen ?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Regards,
Kittu

No,
if anyone changes the selection fields in the way you described the report and the selection screen will be created and generated anew!

Hi,
selection screen variant creates at runtime. Whenever a new variant will be created the screen sets that fields of the variant during execution.

Hi Kittu,
The SE16 tool generates Selection Screens automatically for the Table and chosen fields therein the user selects. Unfortunately the tool is User Independent, thus other users can change the fields for selection thus rendering any Variants created useless. This is because of internal numbering identifiers for fields instead of field names making up the variant. SE16 has always being regarded as a development tool hence its limited functionality.
I however may suggest that you could utilise ABAP Queries instead by way of transaction SQ01/SQ02 or SQVi. These may offer you a better solution.
Best of luck,
