Hi,
My requirement is this:
I have created a variant in VF04 to run the billing due list. I have created a background job that runs everyday and creates the invoices. The output condition record (RD00) has been set to date and time = 4(print immediately). The result is that invoices are printed automatically after they are created. I want the invoices to be printed in the alphabetical order of the name of the sold to party/payer (meaning if there are 20 invoices to be printed, forst print 5 invoices of customer A, then 5 of customer B, then 5 of customer C and 5 of customer D). Currently they are printed as VF04 selects them in a random manner.
I have tried the following 2 solutions:
1. Through VF31
a) In the condition records for RD00, set date and time to 3 (set to application own transaction).
b) In the definition of RD00, in the tab sort order, select field Sold to Party
c) Create a variant for VF31 with sort order as 04 (sort fields 1-3) to select the invoices created by VF04
d) Create a background job to run immediately after the job to create invoices has finished.
The above method creates invoices in the ascending order of the sold to party number, not name.
How can you add the field Name of sold to party to the field catalog?
2. Create a display variant for VF04
a) I ran VF04 and sorted the name of the sold to party. I couldn't save it as a display variant.
b) I went to transaction VOF1, but I saw that this is to add/remove fields to the standard display variant. I cannot add a sort to the name of the sold to party
So, again, is there a way to create a display variant for VF04 with the field "Name of sold to party" sorted in ascending order?
