Selection Variant in Std Report

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When I goto a report transaction (for example ME2N) some of the selection fields values in the seleciton screen defaults (from cache memory?). But when I select a Variant the defaulted values do NOT clear out. And the Variant does NOT have any value for those fields.

How does the user resets/clears all the selection fields before selecting a variant?

Thanks in advance!

hi,

This may be due to the Protect variant tick while maintaining the variant....

Pls check...
