The master data of appropriation requests has been distributed to several tab pages because of the large number of possible fields involved. You can specify the content of these tab pages yourself. You thereby avoid having half-empty tab pages that might result if you suppress a number of field in the screen layout. You can specify the following for the tab layout of these tab pages:

  • Number of tab pages (maximum of 8)
  • Titles of the tab pages
  • The field groups that appear on each tab page, and the position in which they appear

Note

All field groups that contain required fields have to be placed on tab pages (that is, you cannot omit a field group of this kind).

You can organize your user fields using customer enhancement AAIR0002.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

You enter the tab layout in the appropriation request type. If you do not enter your own tab layout there, the system uses the standard tab layout.

SAP provides a tab ayout rule containing all field groups.

SAP provides 11 pre-defined field groups.

Recommendation

Some of the same organizational units appear in both the "Requesting organizational units" field group and in the "Responsible organizational units" field groups. When you make an entry in one of these "mirror" fields (such as responsible company code and requesting company code), and the other corresponding field is blank or 0, the system automatically copies the entered value to the 'mirror' field. If you place these two field groups on different tab pages, this exchange of values is no longer transparent. SAP therefore recommends that you place both of these field groups on one tab page.

Activities

Create layout rules:

  1. Enter a key and a description for the tab layout rule.
  2. Specify the number of tab pages and their titles. The number in the "Tab page" column specifies the position at which the tab page appears (from left to right).
  3. Specify which field groups appear on the tab pages. The number in the "Position" column specifies the position at which the field group appears on the tab page, from the top down.
