Using Layout Variant in jobs that are scheduled to run in background

Former Member

Hi Guys,

I have an issue in using the "layout variant" in running a report in the background. Here is what i do to run a report.

I select a "selection Variant" and at the bottom of the Report input screen, I choose an User- Specific "Layout Variant" which i have saved with few columns only to show in the report.

When i run this in foreground, i am able to get the report with my "Layout variant" with only my selected columns. I could also export this output and it looks fine in excel.

When i run the same report with the same "Layout Variant" in background and save it to my local desktop as an excel file, my "Layout Variant" doesn't seem to work and i am getting all the columns and fields of the reports as such.

Is this the way, the "Layout variants" will work? Whether this will not work in background jobs? Is this the way standard SAP work?

Please guide me...

Good rating points will be given for useful inputs..
