You use selection variants to select master data using one or more master data attributes. The variant contains the fields that the SAP system evaluates in your selection report. These fields determine both the content and layout of a selection variant.

The following selection reports exist:

  • RKKOASEL for cost elements
  • RKKSTSEL for cost centers
  • RKLSTSEL for activity types
  • RKPRZSEL for business processes
  • RKOSEL00 for internal orders
  • RKPSEL00 for projects

You enter the selection values in the appropriate fields. You can overwrite these fields in the application; you can also hide those fields that you do not require.

When maintaining the variant attributes you can also specify variables for selection variant fields.

You need enter the selection criteria for selecting the objects only once, and then save these criteria as a selection variant. You can then use this variant to call up the master data of the selected objects.

Example

  • If you want to display reports in the information system for objects with given selection values, you can also enter the <name of the selection variant> under the group.

  • If you want to define reports using selection variants, enter the <name of the selection variant> as the characteristic value under group. You can then for instance display all the cost centers for a company code in the report.

Activities

If you want to define more than one selection variant, proceed as follows:

  1. Enter a name for your variant in ABAP: Variants: Initial Screen.
  2. Transfer the Values default in the Subobjects group box and choose Create.

    The system displays the selection fields for the given master data on the screen Variant Maintenance: Report <your selection report>.

  3. Enter the values by which you want to select the desired fields.
  4. Choose Continue.

    You branch to the attribute maintenance in the selection variant.

  5. Enter a short text in the Description field.
  6. Save your entries.

Notes on transport

You can transport selection variants manually:

  • Choose Variants -> Transport request..
  • Enter the program name.
  • Enter the name of the variant to be transported.
