What should i do when i want to know the function or business scenario of certain field but there is only the defination of this field in SAP HELP???
eg.
What shou i do when i want to know the fuction or effact of the field "vendor" in customer master,general data,control tabpage.
In other words, i  want to know what will happened to the customer master if i entry a vendor number in the field "vendor".
The HELP is just tell me about the field "vendor"'s defination.
I've tried using SE11 to verify "where-used list" of the field "vendor", however, there is only the list but any fruther information about how it works and the business scenario it is used.
please help me, I have been  puzzled for a long time.
thank you so much!

Hi,
This is in fact related to functional knowledge which can be mapped via SAP, which means if you are able to visualize the scenarios in your domain then only you can understand the logic of every field in SAP... not only in the customer master. But as of now I can give you some idea about the Vendor filed in the customer master. This means this customer can act like as a vendor for your company.

  • How to know the function module for a message type

    hi sd gurus,
    how can i know the function modules used ( based  on message type can i know it?) in inbound idoc processing.
    can anyone  let me know where can i find it out and the related transaction codes
    Thanks&Regards
    Srini

    You can find out the Functionmodule if you know the message type.
    Go to WE20, find the message type for hte relevant partner type by clicking the partner type and then clicking one partner int hat partner type.
    Now on the right hand side, you will get a screen. Based on whether it is your outbound IDOC or ibound, click the relevant parameters, select the message type and double click.
    In the new screen open the Message control tab and fidn out the process code of the IDOC.
    Now go to WE41 if ur IDOC is outbound or WE42 for inbound IDOC.
    Search for the process code which is assigned to the message type in WE20.
    Double click the process code, you will see the relevant function module in the 3rd field.
    Hope thsi helps you
    Pls reward if it helps.

  • Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

  • How to know the no. of bytes in a String Control Function?

    Hi,
    I would like to know the no. of bytes for a certain String Control Data.
    For instance, if i have a String Length Function, on the left is a String Control and on the right is a Length Indicator.
    If i will type coordinates, i.e. 9.25,4.25 on the String Control it will show 9 on the Length Indicator. I think 9 do not mean 9 bytes but
    only a length. Is there any function in LV that will tell me the total bytes of the data on the string control?
    Appreciate for any advise.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks tst for your kind reply.
    Here is what i am trying to find/goal.
    I will be using wireless receiver for my system. The wireless receiver have some signal strength ranges; 95dbm @ 1Mbps (mega bit per sec), 90dbm @ 11Mbps, 82 dbm @ 24 Mbps and 75dbm @ 54 Mbps. Ofcourse i prefer to have lower data transfer rate so that my signal strength is best.
    I will be sending coordinate data/s via wireless communication using string controls. But i do not know how big/heavy is my coordinate data
    If i can know how many bytes or mega bytes the data i want to send then i will be able to transfer it to bits or mega bits(8 bits = 1 byte) thus i will know which setting i can use for the wireless receiver. And if the data is too big then i have a basis to redesign my data transfer to suite a better signal strength.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to get the function name/ID  of the current page

    HI,
    I searched the forum and google, but it is not clear on how to get the function name of the current page.
    I have 4 functions in my self service A ,B,C,D (seeded page links ) they all have to go to a page called hhhPG. Based on which function user is clicks I have to show the data in hhhPG.
    so my question is how to get the function name ? I mean I need to know if user click on link A , B, C or D link and came to this page.
    I found below in one forum and also there is getfunctionID in pageContext , but I do not know what to pass to getfunctionid("???") to get value.
    FunctionSecurity funcSecurity = pageContext.getFunctionSecurity();
    Or is there a better way of know where user is coming from ? like geturl....
    Please help, I need this ASAP.
    Thank you.

    Use below to find out how the user came into the page
    FunctionSecurity funcSecurity = pageContext.getFunctionSecurity();
    boolean isFunc1 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME1"));
    boolean isFunc2 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME2"));
    boolean isFunc3 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME3"));
    boolean isFunc4 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME4"));
    So one of them will be true based on the function the user came in.
    Write your logic based on these flags.

  • [ASK] How to know the number of usage of each Atomic Service ??

    I correct my question:
    *How to know the number of usage of each Atomic Service by the Domain & Enterprise Services?*
    I want to see the number of usage of each atomic service(AS) by other services (DS & ES)
    ex:
    es_A  ----->  ds_B   (1x)    ----->    as_B    (2x) --> so as_B is accessed by es_A twice (2x)
    es_A  ----->  ds_C   (2x)    ----->    as_C    (2x) --> so as_C is accessed by es_A 4times (4x)
    es_A  ----->  ds_B   (2x)    ----->    as_D    (3x) --> so as_D is accessed by es_A 6times (6x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_B   (1x)   ----->    as_E    (1x) --> so as_E is accessed by es_B once (1x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_C   (3x)    ----->    as_F    (2x) --> so as_F is accessed by es_B 6times (6x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_B   (4x)    ----->    as_G    (1x) --> so as_G is accessed by es_B 4times (4x)
    etc..

    1. In the sbconsole, when you click on the proxy or any resource name, you will see information about number of references and referenced by as two parameters.

    2. In the OEPE, eclipse you can see the same in the "Reference" view of the OSB perspective.--> I'm using Java Developer right now, does it work?Thank you1. You can see the reference in: sbconsole -> Resource View -> Click on Proxy or any resource name -> it will show Ref: <n> some number and -> Click on the number. Do you see this?
    2. JDeveloper should also have a resource view, but have not tried it though

    Yes there is some, called stat(), look the links in your post in stack overflow, there is a lot of link in the anser.
    They talk about sys/stat.h a C header, witch contain the stat() function.
    stat() return a lot of things (size, changes, access etc) about files. look the "here" everywhere in the Yann anser, UP his anser and put the subject as resolved.
