How to understand what variant was used in Fiori Mass Maintenance tile
You run FIORI Mass Maintenance tile and got unexpected results, such as hudge and unwanted range of edited documents. How to figure out what data you used in the selection screen of the FIORI tile?
Running Fiori Mass Maintenance tile creates a job in SM37, however the job doesn’t contain used variant. Actually it’s just not visible.
Getting actual variant name:
- Catch using time stamps and determine the job name for the executed program MM_POMASS_UPDATE. Even FIORI uses this program for mass changes
- Verify that you can’t see the variant name there
- Run SE16n > table APJ_D_JOB_EXE. Use the determined job name
- Get the variant name in the field “Variant name”
You won’t believe how much time it took to identify that table. Thanks Vladimir for conducting this exploration!
Determining which data (selection screen variant data) was used:
- Run SE37 > FM RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS
- Use the report name MM_POMASS_UPDATE, determined variant name , move_or_rewrite = W. Execute the FM.
- Find VALUTAB table in the results of the FM execution. You should see plenty of entries.
- Press on the data icon of the table. As you can see, the variant starts with “!”, it’s used to hide it in SM37:
- You should see a table with all parameters. Selname = PF_EBELN wil reveal the filter data that was used for the tile processing:
- There is an additional inclusion of documents, it works in addition to the main (upper) filter.
Field P_INCLSN. Check it too. Obviously, the both parameters work in the filter if both are used:
The problem is that if we use the following filter, we will not be able to see “*45”:

The location of email notification data for failed background jobs
If you would like to know, for audit purpose for instance, the email data for background jobs (email notification for failed background jobs) is stored in the table TBTCCNTXT.
What is the Joker’s superpower?
I liked the idea, I’ll leave it here…
The Joker’s superpower is his super intelligence, realizing that he lives in a fictional world. He is the only character who looks directly into the camera, as if to say: “I know you’re watching my show!” Total despair and awareness of your own meaninglessness.. How would you behave if you found out or guessed that you live in a virtual world, for example, simulated on a supercomputer? What do you usually do when in a dream you realize that this is not real?
Anendophasia – an absence of an internal monologue
Recent research has revealed that a subset of individuals experience “anendophasia,” a phenomenon characterized by the absence of an internal monologue. This condition has been shown to negatively affect tasks involving verbal memory and the ability to recognize rhymes. Those who do not possess an inner voice were observed to face greater difficulties with these activities compared to their counterparts who do have an inner monologue.
The research sheds light on the distinct cognitive approaches adopted by people with anendophasia. Future studies aim to delve into the implications of anendophasia on various other cognitive functions and potential interventions.
Key Points:
– Anendophasia: A condition characterized by the absence of an inner monologue, influencing verbal memory and the ability to discern rhymes.
– Research Insights: Individuals lacking an inner voice exhibit poorer performance in tasks involving word retention and rhyme identification.
– Cognitive Approaches: Those with anendophasia employ unconventional problem-solving strategies.

Managing ME51n personal preferences
Some companies prefer to make a ME51n preconfiguration for new users. The values are stored in ESDUS table. If you don’t have a custom transaction or maintenance dialog for this table, it might be helpfull to make the change in this table directly. It’s not recommended but it always depends on..
Here are several interesting fields that can be changed:
ReqProposer AFNAM – Requisitioner
ReqProposer BSART – Document Type
ReqProposer DISPO – MRP Controller
ReqProposer WERKS – Plant
ReqProposer LGORT – Location
Ok, let’s do a mass change of the specific value for all users.
SE37 > SE16N_INTERFACE > I_TAB = ESDUS, I_EDIT = X, I_SAPEDIT = X > Execute
Use a filter like “REQ*AFNAM” because the actual field name is “ReqProposer AFNAM”.
Export this filtered table in a spreadsheet, change the necessary values and copy this table to the clipboard. Then select the left upper element of the table in the modifying table and press paste. The source and the target table are the same by fields count, so it will be pasted and changed values will be rewritten with the new. Press save, press green tick.
