Purpose

You will learn how to retrieve transaction name of your SAP server using "_transaction" system variable. This system variable holds a string value of what transaction is being used. This variable is very useful when you want a script to run only in a certain transaction. We will walk you through the following steps.

1. Add a condition to check the transaction name.

//Create this file inside your script folder for customizing Change Sales Order screen SAPMV45A.E0102.sjs
//Now let's start adding the content to the above file.

1.  Add a condition to check the transaction as VA02 to delete the unnecessary screen elements and change the title of the screen as ON VA02.
   

   // If the transaction is VA02, execute the following
   if(_transaction == "VA02")
   {
        // edit the title 
       title("ON VA02");
       // delete the pushbuttons we don't want for VA02
       del("P[Sales]");
       del("P[Item overview]");
       del("P[Ordering party");
       del("P[Orders]");
   }

   
   
   
    
2. Add a condition to check the transaction as VA03 to delete the unnecessary screen elements and change the title of the screen as ON VA03.
   

   //If the transaction is VA03, execute the following
   else if(_transaction == "VA03")
   {   
       // edit the title 
       title("ON VA03");
       // delete the groupbox we dont want
       del("G[Search Criteria]");
     }
