Hold Data and Set Data

Suppose you want to create multiple Sale Orders or Purchase Orders with similar data. Then you need not type in all the fields again and again. This can be done by using the Hold Data and Set Data functionality.

To check this functionality pleas run transaction VA01 ----  SAP Sales Order Create. Type in the required fields like

Ship-to Party
Sold-to Party
Purchase Order Number
Material No
Quantity

and then click on HOLD Data (Menu Path >>>>>>>>> System ---------- User Profile ------- Hold Data)

Please refer the figure below.






The fields that contain data will be held even after saving the sales Order and will remain when the next VA01 screen appears. Now you can make changes in the data and Save the Order.

Similarly you can use Set Data. By using Set Data the values remain on the screen but are not available for editing. Set Data can be used if you are sure that you would be creating multiple objects in same with exactly the same data values.
