Implementing Sap With an Asap...

 

 

Global defaults:

If a field is only ever going to have 1 value in your system, then you can set the one value in the global fields section under Global Settings in the IMG. Note: the System parameter "dynpro/global_fields" must be set to "Yes" for changes to be effective in global fields. In the profile concerned, set this system parameter to "YES" in the Computing Center Management System (transaction RZ10).

Creating transactions with default values:

Also in the Global Settings in the IMG, you can create transaction variants that will always have a certain default. Typically you would combine this with special menus for the users who are to use these 'defaulted' transactions.   Do not confuse this with changing the default values for the standard transactions (eg: document types, posting keys or line layouts), in the IMG under Default Values for Document Processing or Select standard line layout for document change/display.

Personal User Settings

Following are a variety of ways that you can tailor the SAP system for yourself (ie personal settings only) to make your SAP enquiries and/or data entry a bit easier and faster or more efficient. 

Type of Setting Instructions
Default   Decimal, Date and Printer format Follow menu System / User Profile / User Defaults to specify.
Personal Defaults for data entry fields Click on the field help for the field and then technical info.  If the field has a 'PID' (parameter id) then you can default it.  For example company code is 'BUK'. Go to System / User Profile / User Parameters to specify the 'PID' and the value that you would like it to have.
Remove document fields you personally do not need when entering journals (for example: special GL, inter company, foreign currency etc. Follow menu Accounting / Financial Accounting / General Ledger / Environment / User Parameters / Editing Options, and set the options appropriately.  This will remove those fields from the screens for your userid only.
Personal Defaults for FI Line Layouts: If you need a different line layout than the one that the project team has setup as the standard for fast entry or document overview or line item display etc, this can also be set in the 'Editing options' above.    Here you can specify the screen templates and line layout variants that you would like to have personally.

These are actually  Parameter Id's.  Once you have tailored some layout selections, you will see that they have appeared as parameter ids in your User Parameters list.

Some PID's for layouts are:

  • FZ2 - fast entry (try SAP01, or SAP02 for two lines to test)
  • FBZ - document overview
Message Line or dialog box - Changing the way your information, warning and error messages appear Often when learning, people do not somehow always notice the message at the bottom of the SAP window. Sometimes they simply need to maximise their SAP window so that it is fully visible, however some people need the info, warning and error messages brought to their attention with a little more forcefulness.  Click on the three coloured circles at the far RHS of your function pushbutton toolbar.  Here you can set whether you would prefer a dialog box for your errors.   The dialog box does however soon become annoying as you have to acknowledge every message.
