Additional Field on Posts

Hey super forum fans,
There is functionality in the forums that will allow us to add field(s) to the end of each message.  I'm curious if you guys had good ideas on how to implement this in our community (or if we should implement it at all).
PROs:
We can add Boolean, String, Email, Text, Integer, Date/Time, Radio, or List of Values fields to each message.
We can change the options in the list of values over time.
The text entered in the fields is appended to the message text and is therefore searchable.
The fields can be required or optional.
The fields might serve as a good reminder to encourage people to let us know what products or versions they are using.
We can limit the fields to only show up on new threads instead of on all the replies.
CONs:
The same fields will be present on ALL messages in the ENTIRE community.
If we change an item in a list of values, the existing data is not updated.
There is no way to multi-select from the list of values.
There is not a way to edit the fields after the editing window for the message has passed.
There is not a way to add these fields to any of the existing messages.
I have been struggling with what to put in the lists and how to select things that are universal throughout the entire community.
Should it be product information?
Software __________
Version ___________
Hardware _________
Driver ____________
Toolkits ___________
Modules __________
Should it be problem classification information?
Installation/Activation
Configuration
Programming
Upgrading
Crash/Bug/Error
Seeking Application Advice
Other
Should it be more focused on coding expertise?
Memory Management
User Interface
Program Architecture
Graphs and Charts
Are you interested in people's industry or job function?
Are you interested in what area of the world people are coming from?
Any help or feedback is always appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Molly,
My 2c
I think required fields should include software and version numbers
along with OS.  I think friver information is too numerour to be
included ins omething like this.  IT will end up cluttering the
fields.
Job function and industry is for my taste irrellevant.  As is the
info as to where people are (or where they come from).  What might
be quite interesting is languages spoken (And I mean non-programming
languages ).  This might help people get answers they can
properly understand.  Many people here speak more than one
language.
I also think a loose description on what the question / post is about is quite useful (memory management, GUI etc.)
Will this slow down the forum significantly?

  • Additional field post code 2 in search in webui

    Hi,
    I am new to crm webui.I need to add the additional field post code to search this field is not available in the context node but is a standard feature.Please tell me step by step.
    P.S points will be awarded.

    The good news is that the field is in the underlying search function module used by Business Partner Search.
    All you need to do is the following:
    Add the field
    POST_CODE2 data element AD_PSTCD2 to the structure CRMST_HEADER_SEARCH_BUIL.
    This should magically make the element available for search and you will only need to configure your screen to have the element bound beyond the context node config.
    I believe this should work, based on looking at the code used for the BP search.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • Additional field in VF01

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to have or to add an additional field in VF01? We would like to insert additional input field which is the delivery receipt date but we do not know if its possible and how it can be done.
    Thanks,
    Ellicec

    Hi,
    Is this date entered manually?
    I would recommend you use an additional post-goods issue step to capture the delivery receipt date and time.
    You may activate the Proof of Delivery functionality.
    Once activated, you need to confirm the receipt of delivery via tcode VLPOD before performing VF01.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Adding additional field 1 to selection screen of CATSSHOW (CADO)

    Hello all,
      We recently added one of the additional field's to show up on the data entry section when using
    transaction CAT2...This is working fine and the data is entered into CATSDB.
      When using CADO, one can display the addtional field 1 and sort by this field.
      However, the users now want this additional field1 to be one of the selections when they
    use report CATSSHOW (CADO).
      Is there some type of way to configure SAP to have one of these additional fields show up
    as a selection field on program CATSSHOW (CADO)? My searches in this forum and the web
    have not shown me a solution yet.
      Or do I have to create a 'Z' version of CATSSHOW like ZCATSSHOW and do this myself?
    Thank-you,
    Rick Crawford

  • Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?

    Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?
    Hi I need to add one additional field for other VAT Reg. number in vendor master data FK01, We currently have two field
    Current Settings:
    Country : LFAS-LAND1
    VAT registration no.: LFAS-STCEG
    I need to add one additional field for text information. Is this possible?
    Thanks you very much
    Luis G.

    If you want to add new fields that are not possible from config (check with your consultant) you need to implement BADIs
    In SPRO, go to:
    >Logistics-General
    ->Business Partner
    -->Vendors
    --->Control
    >Adoption of Cusomter's Own Master Data Fields
    and read the documentation provided there.
    You will need to implement following BAPIs
    Processing Master Data Enhancements: VENDOR_ADD_DATA
    Customer Subscreens: VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS
    I am not aware of any other way to add new fields to Vendor master (however, check with your consultant for config related screen modifications)
    Should you need any further info to implement it, post back (read it thoroughly first, it's quite self-explanatory).
    regards,

  • Additional field Profit Centre for vendor and customer

    Hi All,
    We have created a web Dynpro application for posting documents for one of our client. The application is designed to park the document and has various level of approval before it is posted.
    The issue we are facing now is that they have done a screen enhancement for the customer and vendor line item where they included an additional field for profit centre for cross profit centre posting, which could be only posted directly.
    Since the Web Dynpro application is designed to park and post we are unable to store the profit centre value passed in the customer or vendor line items. Someone please let me know if we could store the value temporarily till the document is posted.  We do not have profit centre field in the standard table for the vendor or the customer.
    Regards,
    Prashanth

    The Trading partner field in customer and Vendor master is used to identify the affiliated companies involved in intercompany transactions.
    The trading partner field is copied into the account receivable and payable transactions from the customer and vendor master. The Trading partner field also appears in the line items of the offsetting clearing accounts via substitutons.
    The trading partner field subsequently can be used during consolidation to eliminate intercompany receivables and payables from the balance sheet and eliminate Intercompany sales and expense figures from the P&L statement.
    Customer or vendor invoice: Trading partner information is captured from the customer and vendor master.
    Invoice receipts against clearing account and transfers with clearing: While posting Invoice receipt during an Intercompany transaction, the invoice receipt can be posted to a clearing account instead of expense account. The selection of open items must be restricted to those with a certain trading partner when posting a transfer later on, as the trading partner is copied into the transfer line item.
    Customer and Vendor Payments: If document types for payments are configured to allow for more than one trading partner in a payment document then the trading partner is copied only on the customer and vendor line item and not on the offsetting entry.
    Assets transferred between company codes: If an asset is transferred between group company codes, two accounting documents are generated in each of the involved company codes. The trading partner of each document must be set to the company id of the other company code.
    When goods are received from group company code the trading partner is picked for the inventory and GR/IR line items from the vendor mentioned on the order. If invoices are open as on the balance key date then group-internal provisions are created from the GR/IR accounts. These provisions can later be eliminated in Consolidation system.

  • FBL5N : Adding additional field PERNR  to layout

    Hi experts,
    I had added additional field PERNR - personnel number in FBL5N layout for displaying in output.
    I had added pernr- personnel number by following the path
    SPRO -> Financial accounting ( new ) -> accounts receivable and accounts payable-> customer accounts ->line items -> display line items -> define additional fields for line item dispaly
    here i added bseg - pernr
    after adding , in FBL5N layout the field is appearing , but it is displaying blank in output  .
    Is there any thing needs to be done to display additional field in output of FBL5N.
    kindly give me any suggestions.
    thanks & tregards,

    Hi,
    FBL5N: customer line item display.
    BSEG-PERNR: personnel number.
    Under which circumstances should BSEG-PERNR contain a value if you create customer related postings?
    If there is no personnel number given during posting (why should it?)  the field added to the FBL5N-layout will be empty.
    Best regards, Christian

  • SQ02 - Ad Hoc Query - Custom additional fields

    HI experts
    I am working additional fields in SQ02 .
    I added a new additional field for an info type in SQ02.
    Issue is when I right click on my additional field I can see options 'Only value' but for other fields I can see ' only value ' , 'only text' and ' value and text' .
    When creating the new field in SQ02, the check box "Determine LIKE reference using text field" is disabled.
    Is there is configuration somewhere or any other way, where I can also get the text for the custom additional field?
    I can see that this question has been asked earlier, but there are no responses.
    Also on SAP documentation, this field is shown as enabled.
    But I cant get the text for a additional field working. Please coyu post your suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Vaishali

    Hello Srini,
    Thank you for your time.
    Consider the additional field SYHR_A_P0001_AF_PL_CTRY (country) in Infotype 0001 in the infoset.
    This field does not populate any country code or text for us, so I need to create a custom additional field that will have the same functionality.
    I have created two new additional fields - Z_Country_Code and Z_country_text in additional fields section of IT0001.
    One field fetches country code and other fetches the text corresponding to this code.
    What I want to achieve is the standard functionality that is available for standard fields - P0001-WERKS for example.
    In the query output, you could select to display text/code/ text and code.
    For the additional field "Country", I have to select two separate fields - Z_Country_Code and Z_country_text  to achieve the same  functionality.
    How can I achieve this?
    When we define a custom additional field, in the field definition section, there is a check-box "Determine LIKE reference using TEXT FIELD" , but this is disabled when I create the additional fields. Perhaps, if this is enabled, then I can define the text table.
    Any ideas how to enable this text box?

    Hello Natalia,
    Did you solve your problem?
    I got a similar one, I'm trying to add some Z fields (added to BKPF via append struc.) to screens of transactions: F-43, F-63, FV60, FB60 (this badi could work for F-43, but I need to find another exit / badi for the others transactions).
    I implemented the mentioned badi, but after debugging it, it looks like that after exiting the Z implementation, the only fields enabled to be transfered in the end, are XREF1_HD and XREF2_HD, no matter if you add any other else.
    Please, let me know if you got further information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Additional fields to IBASE

    How can we add additional fields to an IBASE. I see many Messages posted about using transaction EEWB to add additional fields to an IBASE but these are all in CRM.
    We are in in SAP ECC 6.0 and would like to add additional fields to the IBASE. Has anyone been there yet?
    Thanks
    - Sekhar

    I realized you can do this by modifying the tables in the series T371x and by coding for the additional objects we intend to add that SAP does not recognize as an object to be attached to an ibase.
    With no better ideas, I am closing the thread

  • Adding Additional fields to DirectoryEntry items

    Is it possible to add additional fields to a DirectoryEntry item when creating a custom directory?
    I've got a custom directory working currently and now I want to add another field (Cellphone) to the directory.
    Here's what the xml would look like:
    <CiscoIPPhoneDirectory>
    <Title>My Test Directory</Title>
    <Prompt>Just Testing</Prompt>
    <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>Johnson, Darren</Name>
    <Telephone>8110</Telephone>
    <Cellphone>7012616557</Cellphone>
    </DirectoryEntry>
    <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>Johnson, Darrell</Name>
    <Telephone>8648</Telephone>
    <Cellphone>7012616557</Cellphone>
    </DirectoryEntry>
    </CiscoIPPhoneDirectory>
    This works in IE but throws an "XML Error [4]: Parse Error" exception on the phone.
    What I'd like to do is create a 4th SoftKey at the bottom of the page for "CellPhone".
    Thanks

    You can't extend the language that the phone understands... it can handle what's in the schema and that's that. However, if you look into the schema, you'll see that a CiscoIPphoneDirectory may have up to 8 softkeys:
    Thus, you can add your own softkeys the usual way
    Displayed sofkey label
    URL or URI action for softkey RELEASE event
    URL or URI action for softkey PRESS event
    position of softkey
    Of course, if you add your own softkeys, you're going to lose the ones that are normally there so you have to replicate those as well (so the first one would have the URL "Dial:8110", the second one "EditDial:8110", the third one "Key:Services" and the one you want to label cellphone (obviously the key doesn't have so much space so you might just call it "cell", would use the URL "Dial:7012616557" (all those URLs are in relation to the first directory entry you posted).
    Come to think of it, I suspect that a CiscoIPPhoneDirectory isn't really what you are looking for, since that element offers no means of triggering a different action for whatever item has been selected whereas a CiscoIPPhoneMenu allows you to have an URL per menu Item plus an url suffix per button so you can do all that you need to do in this case.

  • OBC4 - Adding additional fields

    Hello,
    We have received a request to allow users to post a customer # and material # when making a journal entry for specific accounts.  Our first thought was to evaluate whether or not the field status group could be adjusted in OBC4 to make these fields optional entries.  Unfortunately, these fields are not available in the OBC4 configuration.  Is there a different way to make these fields available for posting, or a way to add additional fields to the options in the OBC4 configuration?
