Different entry screens are delivered for some infotypes. Depending on the transaction class ("A" for employee, "B" for applicant) or the country grouping, a different screen can be used. In addition to this, you can also change the characteristics of the individual screen fields: For example, you can define fields as required-entry fields or suppress any fields that are not required. You may want to suppress field attributes in accordance with certain employee control data.
Example
You want to suppress the field Foreman's area in the infotype Organizational assignment (0001) and make the field Administrator HR master data into a required-entry field.
Requirements
In the view "Screen assignment", a single screen and a list layout is assigned to every infotype.
Standard settings
These alternative screens are already preset by SAP depending on transaction class and country grouping.
Activities
Screen modification is identical for all employees or all applicants.
Find the entry for the current screen. If necessary, create a new entry for the screen. The variable key must be empty when you do this.
On the detail screen, determine which fields are to be modified.
Screen modification depends on the organizational assignment of the employee or on the infotype's subtype.
Find the entry for the current screen. If necessary, create a new entry for the screen. The variable key must always be empty for the first entry when you do this - this is the basic entry.
Assign the name of a feature. The naming convention is "Pnnnn", where "nnnn" is the number of the infotype.
Maintain the feature. Use the structure "PME04", all fields are allowed.
Make a new entry per return value of the feature. By doing this, you include the return value in the variable key.
Assign the number of an alternative screen, if applicable.
Determine the screen modification on the detail screen.
If you do not enter a return value of the feature, the entry for which the variable key is empty, i.e. the basic entry, is valid.
An alternative screen should be used.
Determine a basic entry as above and predefine the feature Pnnnn.
Determine the variable key by using the feature and in accordance with the transaction class, country grouping etc..
Make a new entry for the variable key.
Assign the number of the alternative screen.
The screen modification in the detail screen now applies to the alternative screen.
