FB03 - Increase length of the field "Account Short Text" in FB03

Dear Expert!
I understand that Tcode: FB03 is SAP standard tcode. However, i just want to ask, is it possible to increase length of the field "Account Short Text" to 42 characters in FB03? Because my vendor/customer name is quite long, and when i view via FB03, the field "Account Short Text" only displays 20 characters, not full vendor/customer name. Unless, i double click on the line item, then i can see full vendor/customer name. But i want the "Account Short Text" field can display full vendor/customer name.
Is that possible?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
there's a matadata table behind it RFPSD and for Account short text field KTEXT is used, which in fact has a length of 35 chars.
But on the other hand there's also a filed KTEXT_GL (G/L Account Short text) which is maybe applied here. It has a length of 20.
You can do some more checks on program to clear it finally
Regards

Hi Rao,
If you want to give some description in the short text you can use Purchase order text for giving complete details about your requirement to the vendor.

Display GL Account Short Text in FBL3N report line

Dear all,
I have one issue here. I would like to display the GL Account Short Text while executing report FBL3N.By default system will display each GL account and it's short text at the header before the list of all entries for the specific GL account. But user would like to have it at every line item (in the table line) in the report. This is because they need it during excel extraction.
May i know how do i go about this?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Please check the following.
You cannot assign vendor or customer number to sales/purchase GL account with standard settings.
You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Output data to txt file with full length of the field as in database

Hi
I have a problem related to output data I ntxt file on server
for eg
CONCATENATE
wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno
wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext
wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1
wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text SEPARATED BY ''.
the output is separated by single space irrespective of database length of the field , I want to display all the lenth of the database field eventhough the remaining space is blank ie if a field is 20 char in dtabase and only filled with 6 char the whole 20 char lenth should be displayed in the output file
ouput as below
required format ie space equvalent to as in database lenght
000001       700006               C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd.so on.
my format as coming single space in between only
000001 700006 C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd
pls suggest

For this maintain an work area with the fields and structure same as the one which you want.
ten populate the work are and write to file.
concatenate will not work.
e.g.
DATA: begin of wa_sagadr_text,
          seqno like wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno,
          bpext like wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext,
          name_org1 like wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1,
          country like wa_sagadr_outtab-country
          end of wa_sagadr_text,
clear wa_sagadr_text.
wa_sagadr_text-seqno = wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno.
wa_sagadr_text-bpext= wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext.
wa_sagadr_text-name_org1 = wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1.
wa_sagadr_text-country = wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text.
transfer wa_sagadr_text to outputfile
or write:/ your fields.

How can I search the attribute including type and length of the field in the SD table or form such as sales executive table through debug?

Some users show that the sales docment external name is not printed completely in the form of delivery form printing, so I want to find how much length of the field is there through debugging. I am very expected to gain some suggestion from you.

for exploding the bom if you know header material use
CALL FUNCTION 'CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2'
    EXPORTING
      CAPID                 = 'PP01'
      DATUV                 = SY-DATUM
      MEHRS                 = 'X'
      MTNRV                 = P_MATNR
      WERKS                 = P_WERKS
    TABLES
      STB                   = I_BOM
    EXCEPTIONS
      ALT_NOT_FOUND         = 1
      CALL_INVALID          = 2
      MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND    = 3
      MISSING_AUTHORIZATION = 4
      NO_BOM_FOUND          = 5
      NO_PLANT_DATA         = 6
      NO_SUITABLE_BOM_FOUND = 7
      CONVERSION_ERROR      = 8
      OTHERS                = 9.
now check PLPO & PLKO table for routing or AFVC and AFVV for routing.
if production order created you have to check in afvc and afvv else check in plpo and plko.
for checking with plpo and plko you have to check MAPL table.
for bom and material link
MAST,STPO,STKO.
stlnr is the common field

Setting max length of the field when using Context Model Node

I have created a model using Import Adaptive Web Service model option (a web service was a wrapper around SAP BAPI function module).
There were no dictionary types created in the Local dictionary as a result of import.
I have mapped the context of the controller to the model node.
One of the fields in the model is name CUSTOMER_NUMBER type string;
Corresponding element in the wsdl of the web service is
<xsd:element name="CUSTOMER_NUMBER" type="tns:char10" />
I have created a view with the input filed mapped to the CUSTOMER_NUMBER field of the model node.
When I type more than 10 chars into the field and hit the search button, I get a com.sap.dictionary.runtime.Ddcheck exception that the length of the field should be less than 10 chars.
How can I set the max length of the field in design time to prevent runtime exception?
Thanks,
Julia

Thank you for your reply.
Java trim function will trim the white spaces only, not the characters.
I can code check length functionality before calling execute function (the function that call the web service).
I can also create a dictionary structure based on the model structure; create a context value node based on the dictionary structure and use WDCopyService API to move the data between value node and model node.
I was looking for the best practice...
When importing model based on Adaptive RFC, the dictionary structures are imported together with the model. This does not happen for Adaptive web service - hence there is a need to add coding for simple checks.

For abap-hr i need datatype and length for the fields which i selected

hi seniors,
      I got one task for which i have to get the data type and length for the fields of a table in abap-hr. I am using dd03l table, but my team leader told me to not to use this. So, please anybody can help, i will be thankfull.

Hi,
Try using the Function Module "DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET". You can use this for fetching the complete details of a structure or, a specific field.
Input:->
TABNAME        PA0001
FIELDNAME     PERNR
Output:->
Check the DFIES_TAB it will contain all the details you need for the specific field.
Sample--->
CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
EXPORTING
    TABNAME              = 'PA0001'
*   FIELDNAME            = ' '
*   LANGU                = SY-LANGU
*   LFIELDNAME           = ' '
*   ALL_TYPES            = ' '
*   GROUP_NAMES          = ' '
*   UCLEN                =
*   DO_NOT_WRITE         = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   X030L_WA             =
*   DDOBJTYPE            =
*   DFIES_WA             =
*   LINES_DESCR          =
TABLES
   DFIES_TAB            = MY_DFIES_TAB
*   FIXED_VALUES         =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   NOT_FOUND            = 1
*   INTERNAL_ERROR       = 2
*   OTHERS               = 3.
Hope this was of some help.

Increase length of output field in ABAP Query

Hello All,
I have one ABAP Query in which inside the system generated program for the Query, there is a write statement -
write 030(020) anlav-invnr
Because of this statement, the field invnr is displaying in only 20 chars & the last two chars of the field invnr are not getting displayed.
I want to display all 22 chars for field invnr.
How can I increase the output length for this field.
Please help.

Means displaying INVNR field at 030th position with 20 chars width. To increase the width you just give 022 instead of 020 like below.
write 030(022) anlav-invnr
Thanks

Length of the field in debugging

Hi,
I have declared the "rate" field like this in a program.
the field "konp-kbetr" is of "CURRENCY" field type and the length is: 11,2.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
              rate like konp-kbetr,
      end of itab.
select kbetr from konp into itab-rate.
but while dubugging the contents for the "rate" field in itab shows like this:
no    component name    type    length    contents
1.    rate               P         6         0.00
What could be the probelm for that?
please let me know.
thnx.

VIJAY,
there are 3 itabs in my prog like this.
1st itab:
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        rate like konp-kbetr,
      end of itab.
2nd itab:
data: begin of itab2 occurs 0,
        knumh like a505-knumh,
      end of itab2.
3rd itab:
data: begin of itab3,
        awp like konp-kbetr,
     end of itab3.
the code is like this:
      select kbetr from konp into itab-rate
             where knumh = itab2-knumh.
        append itab.
      endselect.
    loop at itab.
      write itab-rate to itab3-awp.
    endloop.
when i debug the code, the "rate" field is showing the correct value for the 2nd itab.
but the problem is with the 3rd itab only. it is basically a structure. and in that i want the value eventually.
thnx,

Need to increase length of the check number

Hi Gurus,
When i am trying to increase the length of the check number from 7 digits to 8 digits. I am getting the error message FIBL664. could you please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance....
Ramanjaneyulu

Dear Ramanjaneyulu,
There are several checks concerning the structure, the length of check number etc. before creating new check lot. As the message FIBL664 says, the structure of check number for the new check lot does not correspond to the check lots created earlier. It is supposed that the lots of one bank have the same length of check number and structure.
However, if you want to create this check lot with such characteristics you can setup the message FIBL664 to 'S' or turn it off using transaction SM30 and view V_T100C.
This is not a Controlling issue, but an FI issue. If you need more information, I'd suggest opening a message in the forum of ERP Financials.

Check the Data length for the fields in the mapping

Hi,
I need to check for the data length of the below fields in mapping. And if any of the field lengh does not match with the given length then I discard the data and trigger a mail
X1_LENGTH = 9
EMail_LENGTH = 100
PrjDesc_LENGTH = 50
Regards,
Varun

Hi,
You can use following approach:
- Create UDF for length analysis and raise exception if length is not accurate Use lenght() method of string.
CheckLength(Field, Length)
If Field.lenght() >= Length then raise mapping exception
Use Alert to capture this and send mail.
- Use Enum while defining datatype to reject data at source (in adapter engine). Again use Alerts to send mail.

How can I avoid the modification of short text of a Material ?

Hello Experts, I want to prevent the situation in which the user choose a Material number when creates a Purchase Requisition (ME51N) and the system uses the Material Master description. But before save this document, the user change the short text of the material. This cause a lot of confusion on purchasing department. I would like to have this field as only display screen layout, but the issue here is that we need to procure another materials without material master number.
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
You can use Version Management for Purchase Requisitions to avoid Changes.
You can set the fields for Version Managemnt. Such that if any user changes the relevent field it will ask reason for change and Modifier.
There is one more option called Copying rules for Purchase orders. Plz have a look in it.
