Parameter ID not working for document type

[Laywoman]

Anyone can enlighten me on why I failed to save default document type for my logon ID by entering the document type always to be used in my user profile (parameter ID, BAR=SA for example)? It is not even working after I log in again, nor working for trx like FB01 which has no trx wise default value for document type.

Btw, we are trying to achieve this by not changing transaction code default document type for two reasons:
1) the change is cross client
2) different users may have different default value for same transaction code

Your valueable input is highly appreciated.

Default doc type has higher priority than the user default. My suggestion is try to apply a 'header' FI substitution (or user-exit) using transaction code and username as criteria.

Dear Adamant,

A clarification I would like to make is that no default document type is set for trx FB01 in the system.

Thanks for your reply but BKPF-BLART seems not to be a field that can be substitute from, at callup point 1. I wish I were wrong.

Btw, additional information about user parameter setting I have made, which is strange enough:
I found default parameter setting for company code(parameter ID BUK) takes effect in constrast of document type. I don't see any reason why it is not valid for equivalent field document type. Depressed...

Another possible solution: Create Transaction Variant via SHD0 and create a new Transaction code e.g. ZFB01_USERNAME.

But txn variant can be created only for dialog transaction(correct?), which is not the case for the transaction code we want.

(1) SHD0 -> Create a transaction variant (eg for FB01 setting BLART = 'XX')
(2) Goto -> Create Variant Transaction (e.g. ZFB01_XX and assign the transaction variant created in (1).

It works okay.

I get want you mean, thank you.
