Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Material Documents Overview app (new version of MB51).

- Set required filters (for example, plant, storage location) and select Go to run the report.
- Open Settings (gear icon) and select or deselect columns/parameters as needed.
- Choose OK to apply settings.
- Open the My Views menu again and select Save (appears only if changes are made to the columns/parameters) to update the current view or Save As to create a new view/layout.
