| When you navigate to the initial screen of a transaction and find an unwanted screen variant there, you can delete it by following this next procedure. Procedure: Deleting a Screen Variant Step 1. | Follow the menu path Goto > Variants > Delete (Figure 13.14A). Figure 13.14. The menu path for deleting a screen variant.
| Step 2. | The Find Variant screen appears (Figure 13.15). This is a search screen on which you can enter one or more search criteria. Follow the instructions in Step 2 of the previous procedure (Calling Up a Temporary Variant) to use it. Figure 13.15. The Find Variant screen enables you to find a variant for an initial screen.
| Step 3. | The Delete variants screen appears (Figure 13.16). Double-click the name of the screen variant that you want to delete. Figure 13.16. Select the screen variant to be deleted on this popup screen by double-clicking it.
| Step 4. | The Delete variant screen appears, asking you to confirm the deletion (Figure 13.17). Hit the Enter key on your keyboard. Figure 13.17. Confirm the deletion of a variant on this screen.
| Step 5. | The ABAP: Delete Variants screen (Figure 13.18) appears, asking you to select one of two options: In all clients or Only in current clients. Select one, then click the Continue button (A). Figure 13.18. Delete the variant in all clients or just the one you're working in?
Note: The usual choice is In all clients, but it can vary with the SAP system. | Step 6. | The initial screen returns with a message in its status bar that the variant was deleted (Figure 13.19). Figure 13.19. Confirmation that a screen variant is deleted is displayed in the status bar of the initial screen.

You can quickly create a default data entry for any single field on an initial screen by following a simple shortcut procedure, rather than creating a full-blown screen variant. You have two options in this process. You can have the default data entry appear in a white, read/write field so that it can be changed if necessary. You can have the default data entry appear in a gray, read-only field so that it cannot be changed (that is, it is protected).
For an example, in this next procedure we create a default entry of 1000 for the Plant field of the initial screen in Figure 13.20. Procedure: Creating a Single Default Data Entry on an Initial Screen Step 1. | Enter the default data in the field (A). | Step 2. | Follow the menu path System > User profile > Hold Data to place the default data inside a white, read/write field, or Follow the menu path System > User profile > Set Data to place the default data inside a gray, read-only field (B). |
Figure 13.20. Creating a single default data entry via the System > User profile menu.
To undo this action: Step 1. | Click inside the field to select and highlight it. | Step 2. | Follow the menu path System > User profile > Delete Data. |
