Premium Only – Default and Hidden Field List

As a Premium user, you can configure the possible SAP fields which will be displayed and defaulted in Excel. This promotes ease of use and lack of confusion for fields which your company may never use or use infrequently.

To configure the list of default and hidden fields perform the following:

1. Start transaction ZGLSU.
2. Select Validation Options.
3. Select Select Hidden and Default Fields (at the bottom of the screen, you may have to scroll down).
4. Check the appropriate options for fields you wish to Default and fields you wish to suppress from display

   Note: Suppression does not cause the field to be unusable in GLSU, it simply does not display the field in the possible fields list as the default.

   

Hidden and Default fields, since they are relatively static, require a Send Validation Now operation in order to be updated the next time a spreadsheet is initialized.

These settings will be applied each time a GLSU spreadsheet is initialized. The settings are not applied when editing an existing worksheet.

GLSU on Fiori

The GLSU transaction code ZGLSU now supports use as a tile in Fiori. A Fiori tile will not be delivered as part of the GLSU installation (no modification of SAP objects allowed) package, but can be easily added using standard SAP practices for adding custom tcodes as Fiori tiles in the location which is desired by the customer in the Fiori Launchpad.

You may use the Fiori tile as you would a regular SAP tcode in most respects. There are some limitations to functionality due to the security environment in a web browser. A message will display indicating so if the specific function is not available. For Send Validation Now, customers should instead use Retrieve Validation Data in the Excel GLSU Ribbon which performs the exact same function. A reminder that in Excel you can set this to be automatically refreshed once, per Excel session. Lastly, performing a 2-step troubleshooting session will need to be done by a user who has SAP GUI or alternatively, a Premium User can set the Never Delete BDC Sessions technical option either temporarily or permanently. You can then run SM35 and troubleshoot your entry.

Note: The document drill-back functionality will not work if the customer only has SAP Fiori.
