Issue in LM51 while doing stock counting.

[Former Member]

When we use to do the counting for the physical inventory record at WM level using LM51 transaction. we need to come back to main screen to enter the new storage type and storage bin (by going through all the screens in backward direction-which we have saw while trying to counting).

Is there anyway by which we can directly go to the main screen, once click on the back button rather than going through all the intermediate screens. It will be very tedious tasks, if there are 100 storage bins to be scanned using handheld device.

Please refer the attached document for more details with screenshots.

Kindly advise any solution to overcome this scenario.

Thanks,

Hi JJ

You can create an extra button which when clicked can take you back to first screen. This can be done by ABAPer.

You have to create a screen variant in LM00/LRFMD so that only the user who has this screen variant will be able to see this screen

It is possible to do so through development.

With that you can still only issue a command to go back one screen. If you want it to go back more than one screen, you will have to create a screen variant for all the intermediate screens. At that point, you may as well create a custom program and own the code rather than jumping around screens in SAP's native program where you are not entirely sure of which program variables you are clearing when.

Unfortunately there is no native way of doing this. The LMxx transactions are all written to cover a wide variety of scenarios, but unfortunately this means it is not efficient for most specific scenarios.

The only way to do this is write a custom version of the RF transaction. And if you are going to do that, I would highly recommend redesigning the screens to exactly fit your business needs - The warehouse folks will really thank you
