Transaction and Screen Variants for Customer Account Group

[Former Member]

Hello,

For VA01 transaction and a specific order type we have a transaction variant with several screen variants.

One of the screen variant is for SAPLV09C program and 5001 screen. Here are set as mandatory the Tax Number 1 and 2 fields. This two fields are available only for a specific customer account group.

Now, I don't know where the connection is made between the screen variant and the customer account group.

I need to set as optional the same fields for another customer account group.

Can somebody tell me what am I missing?

Regards,

Hi Daniella,

To maintain the transaction Variant, you will need to to go to transaction  SHD0. Enter transaction code and you can search absed on Standard Variants, Transaction Variants, and Screen Variants. Then click on the screen variant and click on change. Then you can maintain the Transaction Variant. Please, check with your developers before making any change as you may need their help.

here are two useful documents:

The documents show how to create, but you can use it as a guide to change the Transaction Variant.

Hope it helps,

Hi Daniella,

As far as I know, in the screen variant you can't make different system reaction depending on the value of a field. You need some coding.

You can use instead userexit FORM USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in program MV45AFZZ to control by account group if tax fields are filled and display a message accordingly. Ask for the help of an abaper.
