Answer:
IF you are in Me21n with document overview open, then you can select from hierarchy what you want to display in the overview. Choosing Contracts will bring a selection screen, where you can define the selection for the documents to be displayed in the overview.
On top of selection screen you can find a button for dynamic seelctions.
After clicking, you can open PO items and select field document number.
then you enter your document number and press F2 to exclude this value from your search.
The selection can be saved as a variant by clicking the save button instead of the execute button.
If you save it as SAP&MEPOKONT then this is the standard variant used in the selection and your specific contract is not shown anymore.

Sorry about that variant. You have to create one with a new name.
Self-Definable Document Overview
From the document overview, you can display different purchasing documents that you need for your day-to-day work (e.g. purchase orders, requisitions, vendor scheduling agreements, etc.). At the same time, you can process your requisitions or POs in the right-hand area of the screen.
Choose documents
You can choose for yourself which documents are displayed in the document overview.
For example, you can display the following documents:
All purchase orders that are "on hold"
All purchasing documents for your purchasing group
Define document display
You can define:
Which data from the chosen documents is to be displayed (e.g. document number, vendor, material)
How the data of the chosen documents is to be displayed (e.g. all POs for a material or all POs issued to a certain vendor)
If required, you can save your selection criteria as a variant for subsequent re-use.
Procedure
To set up the document overview according to your own individual preferences, you must perform the following steps:
1. Define a selection variant (i.e. specify which purchasing documents you wish to see).
Note
If the selection criteria do not suffice, you can choose further criteria on the selection screen via Edit -> Dynamic selections.
2. Define a layout (i.e. specify which data from the selected purchasing documents is to bedisplayed).
3. Define the breakdown (i.e. specify how the data of the selected purchasing documents is to be displayed).
4. Finally, save these settings again as a layout.
For a detailed description of all the worksteps, refer to the text How Do You Create a Variant?
How Do You Create a Variant?
Example scenario
You want to define a variant that will show you all open purchase requisitions that were created or changed between 04.01. and 04.30. for purchasing group 001.
You also wish to see the ordered material, the order quantity, and the desired vendor for each requisition item.
Since you must process the oldest requisitions first, you want to sort the requisition numbers in ascending order.

hi,
Any ways to set the new variant as standard (default) so that users do not have to repeat the steps on their pc?
Thanks!
