SAP Note 17347 - Change Default transaction type

Symptom:

The customer wants to be able to call up the posting transactions in Asset Accounting using different transaction types.
Changing the default transaction types does not have the desired effect.

Additional key words

TABWV TABW OA81 ABAO AB01

Cause and prerequisites

The default transaction types in Table TABWV (which can be maintained with transaction OA81 in customizing) are effective only for auto- matic postings, e.g., Depreciation postings with ABF1, Assets under construction settlement with AIBU....

Solution
Changing the default movement types for manual postings from special transactions is possible only by modifying the definition of the trans- action using SE93. You can change the transaction type in this transaction (field BWASL). You can find the name of the transaction you want to change via the path SYSTEM -> STATUS.
