Applying User Defaults in SAP S/4HANA

Looking for the list of all current Default Values? Skip to section Default Values Delivered by SAP   

Latest Updates:

  • August 2023: Re-organized to make the Default Values Delivered by SAP the first section. Added some examples from Launchpad App Manager as this is the recommended tool for changes to parameters in releases SAP S/4HANA 2020 and higher.
  • June 2023: Added parameters coming soon in 2308. A few parameters recategorized – PLM parameters reassigned to AM (asset management)
  • July 2022: We occasionally get asked which parameters are available in current on-premise and private cloud edition releases.  All parameters added up to March 2021 are confirmed available in SAP S/4HANA 2021.
  • March 2022: For your planning, 2 new parameters added: Cost Center Hierarchy and Profit Center Hierarchy. Will be available with SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208 and expected for SAP S/4HANA 2022 (On premise and Private cloud edition).
  • March 2021: 2 new parameters added: SEPA Mandate Application and Country. These are confirmed as available in SAP S/4HANA 2021 (on premise and private cloud edition).
  • January 2021: Correcting a typo. The technical name of the Plan Category parameter is PlanningCategory (and not PlanCategory).
  • August 2020: New User Defaults added for 2008 and 2011. Please check your 2020 FPS00 and higher systems for these.
  • April 2020: New User Defaults added for 2002 and 2005. Please check your 1909 FPS01 and higher systems for these.
  • 2019: Updated for SAP S/4HANA 1909. New user defaults as of SAP S/4HANA 1909 are now listed. 
  • 2018: Updated for SAP S/4HANA 1809. New User Defaults as of SAP S/4HANA 1809 are now listed. Links have been updated to the Fiori Launchpad Administration Guide for S/4HANA 1809.

As a User Experience Lead, Launchpad Content Administrator, or Developer you may want to apply Default Values to your own custom apps, or adjust how default values are applied to delivered SAP Fiori apps or classic User Interfaces.  This blog explains how Default Values work and what to do.

Most SAP S/4HANA apps have certain input fields where a business user usually or always enters the same information. The information is typically even not limited to the single app, but also relevant for other apps.

It makes sense to enable users to maintain a default value for this field in a central place, and then let the app prefill the relevant input fields with the default value, provided no other value is provided explicitly, such as by navigation from another app.

In SAP S/4HANA this central place is Default Values.  Business users can set their own default values as explained in Setting Default Values for SAP S/4HANA.

NOTE: As a prerequisite the Default Values dialog needs to be activated and assigned to the user as explained in Activating Default Values for SAP S/4HANA.

TIP: If you are coming from a SAP Business Suite or Suite on HANA system, you may be familiar with an older similar concept called SET/GET Parameter IDs.  Why don’t we use these in SAP S/4HANA? SET/GET Parameter IDs depend on a stateful paradigm where values are passed in ABAP memory.  Web-based apps are typically stateless, so we need something more flexible.  The good news is that we can pass Default Values to both stateless Fiori apps, and stateful classic user interfaces such as SAPGUI transactions. 

Controlling how Default Values are applied across your SAP S/4HANA solution is typically part of the User Experience Lead or Launchpad Content Administrator role.  Developers, basis experts, and other administrators may occasionally also be involved.

In this blog you will learn:

  • Which Default Values are delivered by SAP
  • When are Default Values applied
  • The format of Default Value parameters
  • How to apply Default Values to app parameters in the Launchpad App Manager 
    • Use this approach if you are on SAP S/4HANA 2020 or higher
  • How to apply Default Values in the Launchpad Designer
    • Use this approach if you are on SAP S/4HANA 1909 or lower

Let’s get to it!

Default Values Delivered by SAP   

These are the currently available default values delivered by SAP as at August 2023.

If you are coming from SAP Business Suite or Suite on HANA, you may want to map these to the equivalent SET/GET Parameter ID you know from SAPGUI so you can see those also.

And if you need to check the data type or length or other field-specific restrictions you can see the underlying Data Element id, so you can cross check that in the ABAP Dictionary e.g. using SAPGUI transaction SE11.

How Default Values are Applied

The default value will be passed to the app parameter whenever the app is launched provided there is no overriding parameter value passed, e.g. during navigation from another app.

So typically you use default values to preset the defaults when launching an app from:

  • Launchpad page
  • App Finder
  • Home button navigation
  • Search on Apps.

How to format Default Value Parameters

The format for the Default Value assignment is:

  • %%UserDefault.<parameterName>%% for single value parameters
  • %%UserDefault.extended.<parameterName>%% for extended values, i.e. where the user has maintained additional values and the app parameter accepts multiple values or value ranges.

You can find further details in the SAP Fiori launchpad Administration Guide in the section Maintaining Launchpad App Descriptor Items and Configuring Navigation Parameters with User-Specific Default Values

Applying Default Values in the Launchpad App Manager

Applying default values in the Launchpad App Manager is straightforward.

NOTE: You will need to know how to use the Launchpad App Manager tool.  You can find out more about configuring Launchpad content using the Launchpad App Manager in the Fiori Launchpad Administration Guide in the section Setting Up Technical Catalogs with the SAP Fiori Launchpad App Manager.

You will need to:

  1. Know the technical ID of the Default Value
  2. Know the technical ID of the app parameter you want to set
  3. Open the Launchpad App Manager tool in your web browser

Fiori%20Administrator%20role%20launchpad%20showing%20the%20Launchpad%20App%20Manager%20tile

  1. Find the Technical catalog that contains the target mapping for the app
    • You can find the app via the Launchpad App Descriptor Items tab of the Launchpad App Manager
    • You can search on the Fiori app id, GUI tcode, Web Dynpro application, etc.

Searching%20for%20Fiori%20app%20F1345%20in%20the%20Launchpad%20App%20Descriptor%20Items%20tab%20of%20the%20Launchpad%20App%20Manager

Searching for Fiori app F1345 in the Launchpad App Descriptor Items tab of the Launchpad App Manager

  1. Configure the Parameters of the app to set the parameter value to the Default Value. You do this in the Parameters section of the Launchpad App Descriptor Item.
    • If you are using your own custom technical catalog you can maintain the parameters.
    • If the technical catalog is delivered by SAP, and you are in SAP S/4HANA 2022 or higher, you can use adaptation mode to add new parameters directly to the SAP technical catalog entry.
    • Otherwise, you should copy the technical catalog entry to a custom technical catalog, and maintain the parameters in your custom technical catalog.

Example%20of%20the%20entry%20for%20app%20F1345%20showing%20the%20Parameters%20tab%20with%20the%20User%20Defaults%20maintained

Example of the entry for app F1345 showing the Parameters tab with the User Defaults maintained

IMPORTANT:

  • You are only permitted to change custom technical catalogs directly.
  • You can use adaptation mode to add parameters to SAP delivered catalog. Refer to SAP Fiori Launchpad: New Fast and Easy Option to Adapt SAP-delivered Launchpad Content (for On-Premise and Cloud, Private Edition)
  • If you need to change existing parameters, or you don’t have the adaption mode (available from SAP S/4HANA 2022), you can copy launchpad app descriptor items from SAP delivered technical catalogs to your custom technical catalogs.
  • For SAP delivered apps the original Technical Catalog is also listed as part of the Implementation Information of the SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.
  • Do NOT put original entries into business catalogs. Only use business catalogs to gather references to entries in technical catalogs, and assign your business catalogs to your business roles.

Applying Default Values in the Launchpad Designer

Applying default values in the Launchpad Designer is straightforward.

NOTE: You will need to know how to use the Launchpad Designer tool.  You can find out more about configuring Launchpad content using the Launchpad Designer in the Fiori Launchpad Administration Guide.

You will need to:

  1. Know the technical ID of the Default Value
  2. Know the technical ID of the app parameter you want to set
  3. Open the Launchpad Designer tool in your web browser
    • You can do this using SAPGUI transaction /UI2/FLPD_CUST to launch the Fiori app
    • Or you can enter the Launchpad Designer URL in your web browser, specifying the relevant host and port of your SAP S/4HANA solution https://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html
  4. Find the Technical catalog that contains the target mapping for the app
    • You are only permitted to change custom catalogs.
    • If the target mapping is in a SAP delivered Business Catalog or Technical Catalog you will first need copy a reference to the target mapping into a custom tile catalog where you can configure it.
    • NOTE: For SAP delivered apps the original Business Catalog or Technical Catalog will be listed as part of the Implementation Information of the SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.
  5. Configure the Target Mapping of the app to set the parameter value to the Default Value. You do this in the Parameters section of the Target Mapping.

Applying the Default Value in a Target Mapping

In this example, you can see how the target mapping for the Post Incoming Payments app is configured with the default values for Company Code, Fiscal Year, Accounting Document Type, and Ledger Group.

 

You can see the format of the Default Value for Company Code in this close-up of the Parameters section.

If you set a default value for Company Code in Settings:

Then the default is applied to the Post Incoming Payments app.

 

Applying Additional Values in a Target Mapping

Some app parameters support extended values, where multiple values or value ranges can be provided for the same app parameter. In this example, you can see how the target mapping for the Manage Journal Entries app is assigned to extended default values for Company Code, Fiscal Year, and Accounting Document Type.

If you set Additional Values in Default Settings for Company Code:

Then the default value and the Additional Values are applied to the Manage Journal Entries app.

NOTE: If you have only maintained Additional Values and not a default value then just the Additional Values will be passed.

      Hello,
      I already have the changes and the catalogs and the new groups, but there are no inclusions in the transport order. previous days I achieved but I only carry the groups.
      What am I doing wrong, why are not my changes included in the order?
      thank you very much

      Hi Yessenica, I take it this is not a comment on the blog but a question on (I think) how to use the Launchpad Designer tool? In which case please post a question in answers.sap,com using the tag SAP Fiori for S/4HANA

      If you can include some screenshots with your question that would help us understand what might be going wrong.  We would also need to know whether you are using scope mode CONF (client independent) or CUST (client dependent when you call your Launchpad Designer.

      Look forward to see your question in answers.sap.com

      Hi,

      Very helpful information, Thanks.

      Althogh How do we know Default values delivered S41610 or 1709 version. I was adding StorageLocation as default value but it is not visible. Other value such as plant were visible.

      Thanks,

      Hi Jocelyn Dart ,

       

      Thanks for the blog.

      I have followed the steps, but default values whatever I set in the ME area are not reflecting when I launch the application in launchpad.

       

      I tried to set default values for DisplayCurrency field for standard fiori application "Value contract Consumption".

       

      I attached few screenshots here. Kindly check and let me know whats the issue here.

       

      Added parameter for Display Currency in target mappings.

       

       

      Set the Display currency as INR

       

      Value is still in EUR in the application

       

      Thanks,

      Hi Vasantham,

      Please raise all questions in answers.sap.com - blog comments are only for direct comments on the blog. Asking your question in answers.sap.com increases the speed with which you get an answer... rather than waiting for only the blog author to find it.

      Just because the value has been passed (open the smart filter bar to check) doesn't mean the app will use it... there are a hierarchy of overrides and analytical apps have some further considerations.

      If you need more please post a question in answers.sap.com with the Fiori for S/4HANA tag - you can always use an @ mention to let me know.

      Hi Jocelyn,

      Do we have any further blogs explaining technical ID of the app parameter as I am unable to find the appropriate parameter name from my custom SAPUI5 application.

      I have a custom SAPUI5 application with Smart filter Bar similar to Manage Journal Entries, but I am unable to pull the user specific default values in such case, while custom applications similar to Trial Balance, I was able to transfer default values in the application using above mentioned FLPD Configuration.

      Thank You.

      Hi Soham

      you need to list the technical names of the parameters you want to use in the manifest.json of your custom Fiori(SAPUI5) app.

      Examine the code of a SAP delivered Fiori app via txn SE80 using the BSP application & technical name of the app given in the Fiori apps library

      also check the SAPUI5 SDK

      thanks

      Hi Jocelyn,

      Thanks for the amazing blog but is there a central SAP note which lists down all the default value options that we have and what business roles should be assigned to have the appropriate option enables in me area?We have a requirement to set default values for “Manage Business Partner Master Data”  for attributes like Language, Customer Classification but i could not find the business role for this in your list for business partner master data.

      Has SAP provided any provision for default values for business partner master data app?

      Hi Navya, You can check which default values are used for your release/FPS for an app in the Launchpad App Manager or Launchpad Content Manager by checking the parameters of the target mapping.

      You need to look at the target mapping for your target app i.e. the business partner master data app.

      Hello ,

      I have a question about the setting the Default Parameters in SU01 >> Parameters section. Can we use SU01 set parameters option for mass users to reflect the default parameters in the Fiori Launchpad.

      Generally speaking yes when you initially move from Set/Get parameters to Fiori launchpad. However there are some prerequisites and considerations which are covered in SAP Note 2519765 - Synchronization of Fiori User Default Values with Backend SET-/GET-Parameters

      Hello

      Thank you for the top-interesting blog.

      Default Values work in Standard SAP Apps (e.g. Display Line Items). In custom analytical Queries the Default Values-Parameter won't be set. It doesn't work. Are there any restrictions for applying User Default Values in custom analytical Queries?

      Our report works with User Variables (e.g. CostCenter).

      Hi Reto,

      Yes there are some restrictions. For starters mostly they only accept single values only, and the default values are set in the query tool itself.

      If you would like to see this feature please raise a request to application component BC-SRV-APS-EXT-AQD

      Best

      Jocelyn

      P.s. Also please do not use Fiori Design Studio for these sorts of apps as this is deprecated. Please use Web Dynpro Grid instead. Refer to https://blogs.sap.com/2021/03/18/six-reasons-why-web-dynpro-is-better-than-design-studio-in-sap-s-4hana-cloud/

      Hello Jocelyn,

      Good Day!

      just want to ask if there is a way to set this globally for all tiles?

      like for example having default values for company code, plants, etc.

      Thanks and regards,

      Hi Ranin,

      Option 1 use the synchronization with Set/Get Parameters - this works for all those with set/get parameters

      Option 2 - use Saved Value sets - refer to SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA – Yes Key Users can set Default Values for other Users this works for all default values. User must choose which set they want to use.

      Thanks for detailed blog.

      I have a requirement where user needs to navigate from Trail Balance App - F0996 to Manage Journal Entries - F0717 . In Trial Balance app - a custom dimension has been added for Journal Entry extending query 2CCFITRIALBALQ0001, CDS - C_TRIALBALANCEQ0001 .

      Now the requirement is that when user selects a particular Journal Entry and selects Manage Journal Entries from Navigate to option in the header , he should be able to navigate to Manage Journal Entries App with filter - Journal Entry = 'selected value for Journal Entry ' eg 19*******27 in the below example 

       

      Navigation is working but without filter for a particular Journal Entry.

      Question is - Can this be handled via parameters in Target Mapping for Manage Journal Entries App ?

      I have tried giving default values in Target Mapping - AccountingDocument+manage : parameter - AccountingDocument , but this doesnot seem to work.

       

       

       

      Thanks
