Value list for a new field

Hi to all of you SAP experts
I need to add a new field to an info-type (in the hr module).
The field needs to have a value list (check table).
I have two options, I can create a data element based on a standard domain and add the check table at the level of the actual structure OR I can create a new domain and hold the value table there.
My question is what should be the considerations for choosing one way or another?
Thank you.

If the values will change rarely, then it's simpler to just add it to the domain; but if new values are added or existing ones changed frequently, then you should consider the check table.

    Hi Experts,
    am new to BI. i would like to know on how to populate values for a new field in the target cube with start rotuine.In my case,  i have a source infoprovider, which has 3 fields and a target infoprovider, which has 5 fields. i need to populate the new 2 fields in start routine. i dont want to populate using Field routine and am using 3.5 version. please assist with code on how to solve this issue.
    Thank you,

    Debug the standard code and see where the other fields are getting update. you can use the similar approach and area to code for the new field.

  • Dynamic value help for a table field to fill two fields, how to?

    Hi all gurus,
    In SRM 7 I defined a dynamic value help for a single field (ZZ_PROLE_R3) of my header custom table.
    That's the code from WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the webdynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_CT, view V_DODC_CT:
    DATA: lo_tabnode        TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
          DATA: lo_tabnode_info   TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
          DATA: tab_value         TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
                wa_value          TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
          lo_tabnode = wd_context->GET_CHILD_NODE( name = 'THCUS' ). "the custom table node
          lo_tabnode_info = lo_tabnode->get_node_info( ).
          wd_this->GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3( EXPORTING iv_guid = lv_guid
                                            IMPORTING ZZ_PROLE_R3_VALHELP = tab_value ). "this method returns the dyn value table
          lo_tabnode_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'ZZ_PROLE_R3'
                                                     value_set = tab_value ).
    The method GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3 dynamically builds the value help table tab_value; such table is made up by two fields:
    value : contains the value of the field
    text   : contains a description of the value
    The above solution works; now I'd like to enhance it. The custom table THCUS contains also a field called ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC, which represents the description of ZZ_PROLE_R3. It is, exactly, the TEXT field in tab_value.
    So I'd like to do as follows:
    - the user clicks on the search help for ZZ_PROLE_R3 field of the table;
    - the above described value help appears;
    - after the selection, both ZZ_PROLE_R3 and ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC are filled with the selected couple value - text chosen from the value help.
    Could anyone help me achieving such a behaviour?
    Again, a little request... when I open the above value help dialog box, the window itself has a label "Floorplan Manager application for OIF.." that obviously I'd like to redefine (e.g. "Role selection value help"). Is there any way to do that?
    Thanks in advance

    It seems to me - given that your code is in wddomodifyview that you are trying to have different dropdowns per row
    - I'm not sure where you are populating lv_guid - but I'd guess it is an attribute of the row selected? If it isn't then I can't see any reason that you would do this code in wddomodifyview and not wddoinit.
    Hi Chris and thanks for your help,
    lv_guid is the GUID of the document's header; I need to pass it to the method that populates my value help table because the values in it are derived from some fields on the document. (the situation actually is more complex; there's an RFC call on the backend for which the document is intended for to retrieve the data that populate the value help...).
    I'm quite unexperienced on webdynpro and terminology; if dropdown menus are fixed selection option that appears on a field, I guess this is not my case. I did a pair of screenshot to provide an idea of what the solution by now is, and what "I would like to have":
    [Pre-selection (F4 icon on the field in table)|http://imagebin.ca/view/npIsaqF.html]
    [Value Help popup for the field ZZ_PROLE_R3|http://imagebin.ca/view/8fZUh3T.html]
    [Result by now |http://imagebin.ca/view/3PaqdvE.html]
    [Result I'd like to have.|http://imagebin.ca/view/dExR0J.html]
    Chris Paine wrote:
    However - by your comment on the "value help dialog box" I am guessing you are using an input field? If this is the case then I would strongly suggest that you change/enhance the structure of the context node THCUS (btw, better coding practise to refer to it as wd_this->wdctx_thcus when using the get child node construct) so that you refer to an actual SAP ddic search help, if you then associate in the structure the value and text fields then populating the text field should happen automatically. Also you'd have the nice side effect that your value help dialog would be named after the associated ddic search help.
    Thanks for the code suggestion, I'll apply that. For what concerns the context node THCUS... It is, by standard, a node which I can't explictly find in the context for the view V_DODC_CT. The problem is that ZZ_PROLE_R3 and the corresponding description field ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC of the table must be filled with data retrieved dynamically @ runtime from the backend. So I guess I can't populate a val help referring to a dictionary table/field; I'd rather do as follows:
    - retrieve what's the target backend for the document (to do so, I have to process the document .. that's why the header guid passed to my method);
    - RFC call to a custom method that extracts possible values for the specific backend;
    - bind the ammissible values to the value help.

    I realise that this is rather a lot - so if you have any specific question please do respond - hopefully I or someone else will be able to clarify.
    Thanks again for your help; additional info as well as code examples would be highly appreciated

  • Implementation of F4 value help for a search field which is an EEWB field

    Hi...
                I am trying to create a F4 value help for a search field which is an eewb field.The f4 value help jus need to be a pop up containing the values of the field existing in the system.Since this is a search field the GET_V method cannot be used. I tried implementing it by creating a search help and then using it in the GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS method.But the problem when u use the search help is that all the values including the null values and duplicate entries will be populated when f4 is clicked.Is there any way to filter the values that get populated when f4 is clicked?If any other method can be used to implement the functionality please let me know..Thanks in advance....

    Hi,
    the GET_V methods worked for me most of the time. Even in advanced searchs. Only time they do not is if there is a different aproach considered in the GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS.
    As the GET_V_ you created obviously was called I suppose you found the correct place to Populate it to be used in the search.
    I do not know what the problem with the NULL values and duplicate entries is you talked about, but it sounds to me the creation of your valuehelp class is flawed. Not the integration into the UI.
    Maybe have a look at SAPs' standard implementations of Search Components. You should get a feeling for how search helps work. See. BT111S_OPPT, BP_HEAD_SEARCH

  • Exit or badi for me21n- for adding new field in delivery tab(Item level)

    HI,
    My Requirement is to add the New Field(Inspection Lot) in delivery tab in item level of me21n .
    I want to know this can be done by any Exit or Badi or modifying the standard sap is the only way to do this... 
    Kindly help me to solve the issue..it's quite urgent , i unable to find one,i used the exit mequery1 but did not work ......
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Nagaraju,
    Actually,for every T-code,SAP has provided a lot of BADIs where the customer can write their own codes depending
    upon the functionality required.
    In order to find the BAD for a particular T-code,go to the T-code SE24 and type in cl_exithandler and click on
    Display.
    You will get a list of methods in that class,double click on the Get_Instance method from the list.
    you will get the code for that method.Scroll down and you will find one of the parameters "Exit Name" there.Put a
    breakpoint on that function module and press F8.
    In the debugging mode,double click on the Exit Name to get the value contained in it.You will see the first BADI
    provided in that T-code.
    Note down this and then keep on pressng the F8 and noting down the BADIs being displayed.
    Now ,you will have to find out the BADI which fits your requirement.
    Now,it is not required to opy that BADI into ZBADI.Instead it is better to create a new implementation for this
    BADI.
    Go to the T-code SE18 and see its definition.
    Now,go to the T-code SE19 and create a new implementation and write the code there.
    Once done,activate that implementation and the BADI also.
    Now run the T-code and debug the code that you have written.You can modify the code accordng to your requirements.
    In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.
    Regards,
    Puneet Jhari.

  • KE5Z : UserExit or SAP Note for adding new fields in the report output

    Hi,
    I want to add 2 new fields in KE5Z (Profit Center: Actual Line Items) report output.
    Order reason(AUGRU), Sales Document Type (AUART) fields.
    Is there any UserExit or SAP Note available for this....
    Thanks in advance,
    fractal

    Hi Fractal,
    See if Note 92864 will help you.
    Summary
    Symptom
    Through a modification, it is possible for you to include additional fields in the profit center line-item reports 'actual' and 'plan' (Release 3.1*).
    Additional key words
    KE5Z, KE5Y, RCOPCA02, RCOPCA08 -
    SUPPORTGUIDE 20010613143936 -
    REPORTWRITER,
    SGRW_OM SGRW_PS SGRW_PC SGRW_SL SGRW_PCA SGRW_EC SGRW_LIS
    Cause and prerequisites
    The fields must be located in table GLPCA (for actual) or GLPCP (for plan).
    For Release 3.0F, you should ensure you have applied Note 62511 first.
    Solution
    To include a field in the actual line item report, proceed as follows:
    Call the ABAP/4 Dictionary (Transaction SE11) and display table GLPCA. You can then find in a line the field name and data element for the field you want to include.
    Return to the initial screen of the ABAP/4 Dictionary. Now change the structure RPCA2. If the structure does not yet contain the field, you select Edit -> Insert field; enter the field name and data element. Do not insert the new field at the beginning of the structure but in the rear half of the structure.
    Then save and activate the structure.
    Now call the ABAP Editor (Transaction SE38). Change the source code of program RCOPCA02. Insert the lines set out in the attachment in FORM routine FIELDCAT_FILL. When you do this, replace SGTXT by the field name of the field. If you normally want the field to be displayed when you the access the report, delete the line   afield-no_out      = 'X'.                "<<<< insert Note 92864 .
    You should note that the place where you insert the lines influences the position of the column in the report list.
    To include a field in the Plan-line-item report, carry out the same procedure except with table GLPCP, structure RPCA8 and program RCOPCA08.
    Note: Pls check if these 2 fields are available in any of the layout versions you have available with the transaction.

  • Editing Autofill List for Custom Metadata Fields

    I have 13,000+ photographs cataloged in Aperture 2.1 In an effort to better manage these photographs, I have added custom metadata for my own use. The fields let me know whether I have printed for my portfolio, watermarked, added to my web site, status of release, etc. All of this data is manually entered and at times my fingers don't always hit the correct keys on the keyboard so I end up with autofill data that is incorrect. I have been unable to find a way to edit the autofill data for custom metadata fields. Selecting 'Edit Autofill List' does not give me access to my custom field autofill information. Am I missing something? Is this an oversight on my part or on the part of the application?

    Unfortunately I'm not using presets to do this. I don't think presets will help me with this, but it could be just that I don't understand presets that well. I use presets for entering Metadata from a shoot as I 'import' the raw files into Aperture. Maybe I'm trying to do something that Aperture was never intended to do, yet I need to have as few locations where I track
    As an example, as I print a photograph for my portfolio I mark one of the custom fields labelled 'Printed' as 'Yes'. Later I can locate those 4 or 5 star photographs that haven't been printed and decide if I want to print them. I use the same type of arrangement for my website with an 'Added to web' indicator as 'Yes'. I may also mark that 'Printed' field as 'N/A'. The reason follows. For watermarking photographs before adding them to my site via iWeb, I export and the photographs and then reimport the watermarked photographs into a separate project but since these photographs are at a lower resolution, have a different color profile and are jpegs, I never print them for my portfolio so I mark them 'N/A' in the 'Printed' field. Well my fingers do slip on the keys and before I realize it the nifty autofill now requires that I type not just the 'N' to get an 'N/A', but I must type it all, because one time I typed 'N and a space' or some such and that is what autofills. It even happens with 'Yes'. I suppose the real answer is to be more careful as I type, but that is not my reality.
    So, all I'm looking for is a way to have access to the autofill list that is created for my custom metadata fields so that I can delete the erroneous autofill entry. I've thought about deleting the field entirely and recreating it, but that would remove all those indicators or flags that I have already entered for my photographs.
    Alternatively I could find an IPTC field that I am not using and find a way to use it, (because those fields have autofill lists that can be edited). However my record keeping would be exported with the photograph. Some of the information that I collect is private and should not be included in the metadata while other information should be; that is why I've settled on custom metadata fields.
    I hope there is a simple answer to this that I'm overlooking.
    If someone else has another way of tracking this same information that is better than the custom metadata fields, I would like to hear about it. However, it would mean reworking all my photographs that Aperture currently manages.

  • Value help for a custom field, ENTER press after selection wanted

    Hi all gurus,
    my requirement is quite simple; in an SRM 7 system, a value help (control table Z_V_EKORG) is associated to a custom (input) field, ZZ_EKORG.
    By pressing the search button on it, some fixed values appears in a list but then, after the selection of a value, no refresh/badi is triggered.
    To trigger a refresh (and passage thru CHANGE and CHECK BADIs) the user is forced to press the ENTER key on the inputfield.
    I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically set an action/event (e.g. ENTER key pressed after input) to the selection from the list; I guess it should be a property of the selection for that value help, but I cannot find explicit information on how to do that.
    Waiting for your suggestions and support, thanks

    Hi Matteo,
    Would recommend you to handle this refresh in the post exit of the WDMODIFY method.

  • Text not visible for the new fields created for Data Source Enhancement

    Hi .... I am working on Data Source Enhancements. I created few fields and append then to the Data SourceStructure . I also have populated the fields with data. The problem with a field is that I am not getting the text displayed in RSA3 ..Instead I am getting the field name itself.
    Example:
    FieldName       DataElement    Datatype  length  dec           Text
    ZZDOCTY                AUART         CHAR      4         0      Sales Document Type
    ZZNOODL                ZD_NODL     NUMC      1         0      Number of Deliveries
    In the above example the field ZZDOCTY is showing me the description in RSA3 i.e. Sales Document Type whereas the field ZZNOODL is not showing the text. Instead it is directly giving the fieldname ZZNOODL. Is it because of the fact that I created a Data Element for that field ??? and as I did not use the predefined data element as I did for ZZDOCTY???? Please reply me soon.....I need to display the text as "Number of Deliveries"  instead of ZZNOODL........I am working on 7.0.....

    May be the fields are hidden.
    Go to RSA6 select your data source and on the tool bar there will be a pencil butonto change. Click that and at the bottom, you will lots of check boxes.
    You go the field that you have enhanced and see whether the HIDE boxes are checked. If so, uncheck them, save and execute RSA3.

  • No trade in value listing for PS3 or 360 Killer is Dead

    Another completely missing game released last year that BB sold but never put in the trade in system. Yes, Killer is Dead but should be alive & well for a trade in giftcard.

    Hi enuf,
    As per usual, we greatly appreciate your feedback!
    Generally, if Best Buy originally sold any given video game, it usually will appear in our Trade-In system. However, it seems this is not the case with Killer is Dead on PS3 and Xbox 360. We have already forwarded this on to our gaming contacts to ensure it’s looked at. If this was an oversight, it’s possible the game may appear in the Trade-In system in the future. I would suggest you keep checking the system if you have a copy you’d like to trade-in.
    Thanks for posting, and I hope you have a stellar 4th of July.

  • QA01 enhancement for adding new field

    Hi,
    We have done an enhancement in transaction 'QA01' for adding an additional feild. We have used the user-exit 'QPL10004' and using sub-screen '0100'.
    But when we are testing in quality server, the sub-screen in 'QA01' is displayed as '0212', hence the enhancement does not take effect. But when we check the sub-screen in development server the sub-screen is displayed '0100' and the enhancement works here.
