System Response

The SAP System defaults screen variant <ZH>&V1&</> when branching
directly to the detailled screen during document creation.

Once saved, a document with screen variant &V1& can only be output and
edited in the detailled screen.

To use the list screen and not the detailled screen to enter a
document, change the screen variant entered on the initial screen.
Then use <PF>List screen</> to move directly to the relevant list
screen.
