Query on Field exits in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
We have implemented field exits in SAP R/3 4.6c and now we have upgraded to ECC 6.0.
I need to know the following information:
Are field exits obsolete in ECC6.0?
Can we create new field exits in ECC 6.0 ?
Going forward, what is the alternative technology/concept to be used - enhancement sports, BADIs etc for field validations(or instead of field exits)?
Regards
Shiva

Hi,
Though it is obsolete, SAP does not say dont you field exit. You can still use field exit. You can still create field exits.
Whatever is already existing will definitely work. Creating a field exit is much more simpler and easy than the BADIs or Enhancement points.
Yes you are right, going forward, you will have to use BADIs or Enhancement points.

Subramanian

Creation of field exit in ECC

hi friends,
i am facing a problem while creating a field exit in ECC. I need to create the field exit on field vkorg and i have created using the program RSMODPERF and the system itself proposing the function module name as 'FIELD_EXIT_VKORG' and i have created the function as well. but when i try to assign program and screen to that field exit then one pop up is coming with three options one is field exit, second one is program, third one is screen. But in first option in f4 help only two options are there one is 0-9, and A-Z. If i select one of that and if i press save then error is coming saying ki FIELD_EXIT_VKORG_1 not exist like that. How to assign program and screen number for the same. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

check whether u have done the following stepd after coding the Function module..
After coding, activate the function. And back again to the transaction CMOD.
The Field Exit will be assigned but still in u2018Inactiveu2019 status and u2018Globalu2019 program
To make it useful for the specified transaction (program name and the screen number of the destination field), we have to assign the function by giving the u2018Checku2019 , and click u2018Assign prog./.screenu2019 , assign the u2018Program Nameu2019 and the u2018Screen numberu2019 and press u2018ENTERu2019. Then activate.

How to assign program/screen to a Field exit in ECC 5.0

Through program RSMODPRF i have given the dataelement and executed and created the function module and activated it.
1.Now in my Documentation its given to assign the field exit to a program/screen.How should do it(i meant to go to which transaction and procedure how to do it).
2.I also want to know whether the field exits can be created for sap's data elements only or even data elements starting with z.
Plz tell me if anyone knows answers to these.
Regards
Sajid

Hi,
Just execute RSMODPRF program without any entry in selection -screen,
then select ur dataelement and then press change and there u can define the program screen no in which u want to do this change to be activated.
Assign Program/Screen.
After giving the program name and screen name.. activae it..
Then it will work for only the program u gave in the dataelement assigning.....
not for all the programs it uses...

Field exit in ECC 6.0

Hi experts,
I am trying to write a field exit for Quantity field (data element: co_menge) in the backflush compnent list of MFBF transaction. What exactly I want to do is that whenever the material entered is of the type FERT then the user must enter a negative quantity, if he fails to do so, he should either get a message or it should automatically be converted to a negative quantity.
I have used RSMODPRF program to create the field exit and the function module contains the following code (just an example):
FUNCTION FIELD_EXIT_CO_MENGE_A.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" REFERENCE(INPUT)
*" EXPORTING
*" REFERENCE(OUTPUT)
if input > 0.
message 'fieldexit:' type 'S'.
output = input * -1.
endif.
ENDFUNCTION.
I need this field exit to be activated only for this screen, and not everywhere this data element is used.
I have already set the SAP System profile abap/fieldexit parameter to YES.
Kindly assist.

Is there any BADI or any other alternate in ECC for the Field exits

Hi guys,
Is there any BADI or any other alternate in ECC for the Field exits:
FIELD_EXIT_BP_VERS_Z
FIELD_EXIT_BP_VERSION

Hi,
If you are aware that these are the field exit funciton modules that get created when you create a field exit for the corresponding data element.
Hence there will not be any replacement for this FM, But you need to find where the data element is triggering(the tcode) and check in debugging if there is any BADI/Enhancement Point.
Hence check for which data element the FM belong to using the program RSMODPRF and check if they are globally activated, then they trigger on all the screen/transactions..(Tedious to replace with BADi/Enhancemnet points everywherre)
If the field exit is activated for screens, check to which transaction the screens belong to and then check for enhancement point or badi that trigers on the screen..
Hope this helps

Filed exit in ecc 6.0

Hi,
Can we create filed Exit in ECC 6.0
Please let me know asap as its urgent requiremnt.
Regards,
Sunil.k

Hi
U should consider the field-exit are not supported from rel 46C by SAP, but u can try to create one by report RSMODPRF.
Anyway I don't think a trx ENJOY supports the field-exit.

Problem with Field exits

Hi Gurus
i have a problem, in MM01/MM02(Basic data1) there is field called Prod.hierarchy(dataelement is prodh_d), for this data element how to create and change Field Exits and how to assign to MM01/MM02 Tcode.
the code part i have to write is
1. To validate MARA-PRDHA field length (field exit can handle this). the field length should be 18 char.
2.Copy the value of MARA-PRDHA to MVKE-PRODH (the code of the field exit above, you can do field-symbol technique to transfer value from mara-prhda to mvke-prodh).
plz. do the needfull information with all the steps with codeASAP.
I am using Ecc 6.0 Version.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

Hello,
If you want to create a user exit execute report RSMODPRF with out parameters and create the FM to the field you need, and active it.
But before doing that, check if there is a user exit or badi implementation availavle, it will be a better solution.
Check for instance, the following:
USER EXIT
MGA00001                                Material Master (Industry): Checks and Enhancements
MGA00002                                Material Master (Industry): Number Assignment
MGA00003                                Material Master (Industry and Retail): Number Display
Business Add-in
BADI_EAN_SYSTEMATIC                     BAdI for Internal Control of EAN Logic
WRF_DISCONT_PARAMS_I                    BAdI: Parameters in Fashion Discontinuation
WRF_DISCONT_FACT_E                      BAdI: Follow-Up Actions in Discontinuation
WRF_DISCONT_CHECKS_I                    BAdI: Scope of Check in Material Reorganization
MG_MASS_NEWSEG                          User-Specific Fields & Segments in Mass Maintenance
MATGRP_SKU_UPD                          BAdI for Article Hierarchy Connection
CDT_CHECK_MATERIAL                      Checks for Existence of a Material in a CDT
BADI_MM_MATNR                           Modification-Free Archiving Enhancement of MM_MATNR
BADI_MAT_F_SPEC_SEL                     BAdI for Material Special Field Selection
BADI_MATNR_CHECK_PVS                    Check Material for Use in iPPE
BADI_MATERIAL_REF                       Addition of customer-defined default data for material
BADI_MATERIAL_OD                        Integration of New Objects in Material or Article Master
BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK                     Enhanced Checks for Material Master Tables
BADI_GTIN_VARIANT                       User Exit for Customer-Specific GTIN Variant Check
Hope this helps,

Field exit for checking if tax number is unical in vendor master.

Hi,
is there a field exit that checks if tax number is unical in vendor master?
Best regards

Swamy,
As you've pointed out, you already know that path. I'd recommend stating all that you've already tried and ruled out while posting a query here. It'll help people putting in effort that won't be helpful to you.
Coming back to your query, there is obviously no way to introduce email ID as a sensitive field. However, there's nothing stopping you from using a little creativity here. This solution is not exactly direct, but I believe it is achievable. Here are your components:
Have a look at enhancement SAPMF02K (t.code SMOD). Look at the component FM - EXIT_SAPMF02K_001.
From table LFA1, get LFA1-ADRNR. Go to table ADR6 (SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)).
In ADR6, field SMTP_ADDR is email ID.
You can designate a field you don't currently use as always = email ID field content on vendor master screen. This proxy field can get it's value inside the user exit I've mentioned above, and you can find the email ID using the logic I've mentioned above. Ensure that this proxy field can be designated a sensitive field. That's it!
Now, everytime a user changes the email ID, your proxy field gets changed, and thus invokes the Senstive Field rule.
I've not used this myself, but believe it should work.
Remember to assign points if found useful.

How to know whether a field exit is getting triggered or not??

HI ,
We are upgrading a system from 4.6 to ECC, the problem is that, in earlier system field exit was getting triggered but its not getting triggered in ECC, the field exit is active in ECC but still its not getting triggered.
Field Exit is FIELD_EXIT_SAKNR.
Please provide some help
Regards
Karan Arya

Hi,
As part of the extension concept, SAP allows you to install a field exit for each screen field. Similar to the conversion exit, the system branches at the field exit at DCI (DATA COMMUNICATIONS INPUT) to a function module, if the field is an input field and a function code was triggered. The function module must adhere to the following naming convention:
Prefix: FIELD_EXIT_
Infix: <Data element name>
Suffix: _0 to _9 (optional), _A to _Z
The interface is automatically generated during the creation of the function module, and has 2 parameters:
Import parameter: INPUT
Export parameter: OUTPUT
After a function code has been triggered the contents of the field are made available to the FB via the "INPUT" import parameter. You can edit this and, when changed, make it available to the ABAP/4 processor in "OUTPUT". The input field contents are usually passed on: you can simply write OUTPUT = INPUT.
If, e.g., you have activated the field exit for the data element 'PROGRAM', then the fields of all the screens, which refer to the data element 'PROGRAM', branch to the function module FIELD_EXIT_PROGRAM. This includes the field 'Program' of the initial screen SAPMS38M0100 in transaction SE38, for example.
If you do not want the function module to be accessed from all screens, assign particular screens to the data element PROGRAM. By allocating an exit number, it is also possible to branch to other function modules with the corresponding suffix _0 ... _Z.
Example: You have assigned screen SAPMS38M0100 and exit number 5 to data element 'PROGRAM'. The corresponding field on SAPMS38M0100 branches to FIELD_EXIT_PROGRAMM_5.
As soon as you activate an exit, the corresponding screens are invalidated.
Note: Field exits are only taken into account during screen generation if the parameter abap/fieldexit = 'YES' is set in the system profile.
Requirement
Set the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = 'YES' before system start.
Limitations
The following ABAP statements are not allowed in the function modules of field exits:
BREAK-POINT,
CALL SCREEN, CALL DIALOG, CALL TRANSACTION, SUBMIT,
COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK,
COMMUNICATION RECEIVE,
EXIT FROM STEP-LOOP,
MESSAGE I, MESSAGE W.
Note:
Field exits cannot be edited with the debugger.
You should not use any external Performs in field exits. The ABAP processor shares the table work areas of externally called programs with those of the first caller. This could lead to errors at field exits that can hardly be analyzed, as field exits are sometimes slipped into the flow of the program at unforeseen events.
Hope this helps you resolve your issue.

Jayanth

Help in field exits

Hello
i'm working in ECC 6 and my req is to create a field exit for a data element so as to validate the field before saving ..
i have executed the program 'RSMODRPF' and created the function module and also in CMOD in 'Field exits for data elements' when i'm trying to assign the screen name and no, it is not getting saved. i understand i need to set the system parameter 'ABAP/FIELDEXIT' to 'YES'..
my question is how to set the above system parameter? also am i in the right direction in creating a field exit to validate the field?
Thanks in advance

Hi Shekar
Please do not post multiple threads for same topic. We all could see the threads irrespective of where you have posted in ABAP Development section.

The profile parameter abap/fieldexit should be set to 'YES'. Use transaction RZ11 to check the parameter value.
Please read these threads which discusses the same problem and might be helpful,

Upgrade for Field-Exits

Hi there!.
My customer is asking me to upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 their field-exits. But I've reading about Enhancement Framework, and for validations made for Field Exits, I would need a SAP Source Key Code to modify the SAP Object and implement the online validations in the screen SAPLCOMD Dynpro 3170.
Has someone tried to work with this new technology ? what could I do for Upgrade this Field Exits?..
Thank you very much for any help!.
Antonio

Field Exits in ECC5.0

Hi,
In the new system ECC 5.0, the Field Exits implemented in the older system customer are discontinued.
Does any one know if there is a migration strategy for the Field Exits? Or how these should be re-implemented in the new system

Hi Rohit,
Ypu may need to start looking into BADI instead.
I think this is new SAP direction. Having said that field list still work for ECC 5.0.
Hope this will help.

Field exit creation

i want to change the logic in wchi Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element
but when i create afield exit i did't found field exit in menu of text enhance ment in ECC6 version what i can do to create afield exit with module field_exit_<dataelement name>_<0-9 A-z>

Hi,
The only problem is assigning the program and the screen through tr. code CMOD. The option was
appearing in 4.6 but In ECC 6.0, it is not there.
This is the main issue.
i think it will helpful for you.

Debugging Field-Exits - ECC6.0

Hello guys.
A friend said me that in release ECC 6.0, the Debug for Field-exits is possible, however, i don't get debugging same following the steps that he sends me.
Somebody knows how i do this?
Thanks for all.
Hugs.
Danilo Cardoso

I don't think there is a direct way to debug Field Exit.
Generally, we use the messages, either status or Error to know if everything is fine with one processing block. if that is fine than we remove those messages and put after the next block and so on.
