Adding translations in a transport request using SE63 Translation Transport

First of all, ¡Happy New Year! Well, this is the first post of 2014.

When translating objects, like domains, data types, text messages and so on, a transport request is not asked in order to save all the object translations. So, when I noticed that, this really worried me.  But there is a report named RS_LXE_RECORD_TORDER that solves this problem and it is very easy to use. Only you have to do is enter the parameters on the selection screen and execute it. You can enter a date, a user, the object types and other useful parameters. Just a parenthesis about the Target Language field: it seems not to be editable but it is, just select the match code in order to set the target language.

SE Translation Transport Report

Automatically a workbench request is created with the title you have entered on the Request Description and with all the object translations included.

 Well, that's all folks. I wish you all the best for this year.

Document type code: Where is it on standard transactions screens?

Yeah, this happened to me... Sometimes, when executing some standard transactions like Sales Order (VA03), Billing Invoice (VF03) or Purchase Order (ME23N),  for example, I noticed that the document type code was not displayed on the matchcode, only its description. 

Invoice

Customize Local Layout button

I have to confess that I did not remember where this configuration was immediately on the first times. To display both document type code and description, we only need to change a parameter through the “Customize Local Layout” button (Alt + F12). 

  
 

Menu Interaction Design - Visualization 1

On Menu Interaction Design-Visualization 1, select the options “Show keys within dropdown lists” and “Sort by keys…” and then press the buttons “Apply” and “OK”. 

Reopen the corresponding transaction in order to refresh the screen. Now we can see both document type and description on the matchcode.

Well, I am not sure if I could be able to write another post before Christmas, so have a very Merry Christmas everyone!
