Documentation

Definition

A variant can be specified for the selected receiver report of the report-to-report interface. All variants can be used for which the flag 'For background processing only' has NOT been set.

When the receiver report is called via the report-to-report interface the variant is processed in the following way:

• The transferred values of the sender report overwrite the values of the variant (except for fields that are protected. See next point).
• Parameters/select options that have been defined for the variant definition as protected, are not overwritten by the transferred fields of the sender report.
• Parameters/select options that have been defined for the variant definition as mandatory input field, are treated as mandatory fields. This means that if no value has been transferred for this field by the sender report and the variant does not contain a value for this field, the selection screen is displayed on which you have to enter the appropriate information.
