Assets linked to Custom Objects

Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way to represent the link between a Custom Object and an Asset. I know I can create an Asset under a Custom Object as a related record, but if I look at the details for that Asset, there is no field I can locate that will indicate the link between the Asset and the Custom Object record.
I'd appreciate any advice on how I can overcome this problem.
Cheers,
Cameron

Thanks for your post Prakash.
Unfortunately though I can't really use the vehicles record type as I'm somewhat restricted by my current system design.
So does this mean that there is no field on the main Asset record type that can link to any of the Custom Object record types?

Report on activities linked to custom object

Hi,
Is there a way show on a report each activity linked to a custom object record? e.g.
Custom Object name 1 , Activity 1 subject
Custom Object name 1 , Activity 2 subject
Custom Object name 1 , Activity 3 subject
When i use the Custom Object 1 reporting area i add the custom object "name" feild to my report then add "Activity Subject". Each custom object record can have many activity records, however when I run my report it says "No Results" despite there being data set up?
I tried a similar report but instead of showing activities i tried accounts, of which there are a number linked to a single custom object record. When i ran the report it showed a single row for each custom object record, almost as though it was a one to one realtionship between custom object and account, rather than a one to many?
Any thoughts on what might be going wrong? or how i can report on activities per custom object record?
Thanks

Using CO and account subject area, it should be possible to show M:M associations between CO and Account.
But for CO and activity, reporting on M:1 association alone is possible using CO subject areas.

Linking a custom object to an activity and importing records

I'm trying to create a link between an activity record and a custom object record. In essence, we will have 1 activity record with multiple associated custom object records linked to it. How do I import these multiple records to a specific activity record? I thought I could use the Activity: External Unique ID field but that field does not appear on the list of values available for importing to a custom object. Anyone have any ideas how to do this?

Ken, at this time the import wizard does not support this type of functionality. However, this could be done using web services.

Using a Custom Object to allow an Entity to link to itself

Hey folks,
Have a feeling the answer to this is No, but have to ask anyway.
Is there any way that anyone is aware of to use a Custom Object to link an Entity to itself? For example... We have a CO (Custom Object) which is linked to Service Request. I want to link this CO to Service Request again, allowing one Service Request to be linked to another Service Request via the CO. I can obviously link Service Request to the CO, but the second link doesn't seem likely.
Cheers,
Mark

You can link multiple Service Requests to a single Custom Object (1-3) very easliy. Just expose SRs under related items on the Custom Object and adjust Access Profiles appropriately. Alternately, you can add Custom Objects to related items on the Service Request page layout so SRs can be linked to multiple COs.
In the end, you can end up with one CO linked to multiple SRs. This should give you what you are looking for - there may be more elaborate solutions involving multiple advanced custom objects.
The key, of course, is how you need this data to be viewed or reported on. You'll need to assess this solution to see if the output is what you require.

How to link custom object 05 to accounts

Hi,
I used custom object 05 to create the "Forecast" object. In order to create the desired reports I need to link the cusom object to Accounts. I already found out that there is Read-Only Picklist available that searches in the Accounts and I use that I get the desired result. But unfortunatly, the users have manually select an account everytime they enter a forecast. Is there was to automaticcaly fill in this field to create the relationship between account and forecast? I tried entering a default value in the "Account" filed but it seems to be an standard field and the option is greyed out.
The forecast is created under opportunity, so I can get the "Opportunity: Account" field filled in automaticcaly but that does not result in a relationship between account and the forecast.
Any advice?
Kind Regards
p.s. I included a screenshot they might clarify my problem a little bit more: http://i.imgur.com/Drh7P.jpg

Hi,
JoinfieldValue will not work for Custom Object 4-15. You will have to use web services to achieve your requirement.

Generate quote off custom object--HTML in narrative duplicates table

Hi,
I am trying to build a quote header and lines off a custom object. Quote header works, but I am using a separate narrative report called from a web link to show the quote item lines data. The narrative section displays my basic table header and lines, but since the report returns two rows for the selected parts, the table with the header and lines is displayed twice, once for each row returned by the report itself.
I just want one instance of the table, one header and two lines, not separate tables for each part.
Here is the sample html placed in the narrative section of the report.
<TABLE BORDER="5" WIDTH="50%" CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="3">
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2"><BR><H3>TABLE TITLE</H3>
</TH>
</TR>
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
<TH>Column A</TH><TD>@5</TD><TH>Column B</TH><TD>@8</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Many thanks for any input.

Hi,
Instead of putting it all in the Narrative section you could use the Prefix and Postfix like below:

<TABLE BORDER="5" WIDTH="50%" CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="3">
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2">
TABLE TITLE
</TH>
</TR>
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
<TH>Column A</TH><TH>Column B</TH>
</TR>

<TR ALIGN="CENTER"><TD>@5</TD><TD>@8</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

How to get list of custom objects used in abap report program?

Hi friends,
I have a requirement in which I have to scan the entire abap report and retrieve list of custom objects used in it for example custom tables, data elements, structures, table types etc,. Is there any provision in SAP like fuction modules to do this functionality? As of now I am coding everything manually where so many possibilities are there for all kinds of objects. Provide your answers and suggestions...
Thanks,
Nastera

Hi,
The best way to do this is environment analysis. Follow the steps:
1. Open se38, type in the program name (don't click on on display/change or create button, stay on first screen only)
2. Click on environment analysis button (hot key SHIFT+F4)
3. It will throw a pop-up, which will ask for type of object you want to see, which are linked /used by this program. select all (or may be if you are only interested in Tables, then select table only)
4. Hit 'Enter'
You will get the full list of all objects used in this report program. Just note down the one which starts with Z or Y and that's it.

Linking a JS object to ScriptUI listbox item

I am writing a script that that takes elements from a document and for each element makes a custom object with its own properties and methods. This list of elements is then spat out into a ScriptsUI listbox.
How do I link each listbox item to its associated obejct? i.e. So if I double click on a listbox item it will run a particular method within that object.
P.S. I dont want to have to store array ids in a column or something hacky like that.

Yep, it seems that the Translator component of the MVVM pattern wouldn't be very useful in a ScriptUI perspective.
The most asbtract pattern you have to deal with, I think, is the GenericList widget (ListBox, DropDownList, maybe TreeView?) and its relationship with what we may call a DataProvider (following Flex and .NET terminology). But ScriptUI/ExtendScript does not allow a serious level of data binding.
The whole problem is to emulate something of a dynamic link so that the data provider can notify the List widget of some changing. As a response, the List then would update its items accordingly. A skeleton of this approach could be drawn using custom event notification:
const EXTERNAL_EVENT_TYPE = 'myEventType';
var externalProcess = function F()
    if( F.targetWidget )
        F.targetWidget.dispatchEvent(new UIEvent(EXTERNAL_EVENT_TYPE));
// =====================================
// UI
// =====================================
var w = new Window('dialog', "Example"),
    // register the LB as a target:
    lb = externalProcess.targetWidget = w.add('listbox'),
    b = w.add('button',undefined,"Test Change");
lb.addEventListener(
    EXTERNAL_EVENT_TYPE,
    function(){ alert("Something is happening. I need to update my items!"); }
b.onClick = externalProcess;
w.show();
but I'm afraid this code—which, by the way, works!—leads us to an anti-pattern! Indeed, while we have to register and maintain a reference to the List widget in the external object (which is assumed to wrap the data), we still need to tell the list how to access the data provider in order to update the list items. The only benefit of the scheme above is that the external process can notify the list at any moment. Maybe this could make some sense in a non-modal context (palette), but this doesn't solve the original problem.
So, intuitively, I would tend to take the opposite view: instead of making the external process trigger some event in the UI when its data change, let simply provide a generic resync() method to the list widget. The paradigm, here, is that a data provider should always be an array structure whose elements expose a toString() or whatever feature. If the list widget has a reference to some data provider, then it can load and/or resync the list items using always the same abstract routines. Then we have something purely prototypal:
ListBox.prototype.load = DropDownList.prototype.load = function(/*obj[]&*/dp)
// =====================================
// A simple load method based on the assumption that
// all dp items offer a toString() ability
    // Manage a reference to the data provider
    this.properties||(this.properties={});
    this.properties.data||(this.properties.data=[]);
    dp?(this.properties.data=dp):(dp=this.properties.data);
    // Vars
    var CAN_SEP = 'dropdownlist'==this.type,
        n = (dp&&dp.length)||0,
        i, s;
    // Add the ListItem elems
    for (
        i=0 ;
        i < n ;
        s=(''+dp[i++]),
        this.add(CAN_SEP && '-'==s ? 'separator' : 'item', s)
        // One could improve the code to support additional
        // keys for: multicol, images, checks, etc.
    return this;
ListBox.prototype.resync = DropDownList.prototype.resync = function(/*obj[]&*/dp)
// =====================================
// Resync, or even reload, the data provider items
    this.selection = null;
    this.removeAll();
    return this.load(dp||null);
ListItem.prototype.get = function()
// =====================================
// Return an object instance from the DP (behind this ListItem)
    return this.parent.properties.data[this.index] || null;
From that point, what could the client code look like? We basically have two options:
#1 The process is non-modal and then the external object will invoke List.resync(…) when required; in this case it MUST have a reference to the widget.
#2 The process is modal, meaning that the 'external' object in fact is entirely interacted from the UI (e.g. via a button click); in that case no external reference to the list widget is actually required since the UI module itself knows exactly when a List.resync() is required, so why should it delegate the job? Here is a basic example in such a context:
// Let's have some arbitrary 'OOP' stuff available
var MyClass = function(uid,str)
{   // constructor
    this.id=uid||0;
    this.rename(str||'');
    // various methods
MyClass.prototype.rename = function(str){ this.name=str||'<unknown>'; };
    // toString()
MyClass.prototype.toString = function(str){ return this.name; };
var myDataProvider = [
    // some array of instances
    new MyClass(3, "Name 3"),
    new MyClass(5, "Name 5"),
    new MyClass(7),
    new MyClass(11, "Name 11, OK?")
var processChanges = function()
{   // emulate various changes in the data provider
    myDataProvider[0].rename("New name (3)");
    myDataProvider[2].rename("Finally Born 7");
    myDataProvider[myDataProvider.length] = new MyClass(13, "Did you miss 13?");
    myDataProvider[myDataProvider.length] = new MyClass(17, "Hello 17");
    myDataProvider.splice(1,1);
// Now the User Interface:
var w = new Window('dialog', "Example"),
    lb = w.add('listbox').load(myDataProvider),
    b = w.add('button', undefined, "Test Changes!");
lb.onDoubleClick = function()
    var someInstance = this.selection.get();
    alert( "My secret UID is: " + someInstance.id );
b.onClick = function()
    processChanges();
    lb.resync();
w.show();
Does it make sense?

How to load Custom Object 1 ?

Hello to everyone,
I can't find how to load my data for Custom Object 1.
I can't find that data type in my wizard.
Someone can help me ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I would recommend you to raise this Issue in the Administration section of the forum instead of Integration.
Never the less I would recommend you to do this check before you proceed
Navigate to the below link
Admin >> Application Customization >> Customize Record Types
and find the "Display Name/Singular" under "Custom Object 01" ones found
Go back to Import/export tool to import data section to locate the name found above.
Hope this helps :)

Data Loader On Demand Inserting Causes Duplicates on Custom Objects

Hi all,
I am having a problem that i need to import around 250,00 records on a regular basis so have built a solution using Dataloader with two processes, one to insert and one to update. I was expecting that imports that had an existing EUI would fail therefore only new records would get inserted (as it says in the PDF) but it keeps creating duplicates even when all the data is exactly the same.
does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Mark

Yes, you have encountered an interesting problem. There is a field on every object labelled "External Unique Id" (but it is inconsistent as to whether there is a unique index there or not). Some of the objects have keys that are unique and some that seemingly have none. The best way to test this is to use the command line bulk loader (because the GUI import wizard can do both INSERT/UPDATE in one execution, you don't always see the problem).
I can run the same data over and over thru the command line loader with the option to INSERT and you don't get unique key constraints. For example, ASSET and CONTACT, and CUSTOM OBJECTS. Once you have verified whether the bulk loader is creating duplicates or not, that might drive you to the decision of using a webservice.
The FINANCIAL TRANSACTION object I believe has a unique index on the "External Unique Id" field and the FINANCIAL ACCOUNT object has a unique key on the "Name" field I believe.
Hope this helps a bit.

Is it possible to have an adress field with a Custom Object?

Hello,
I would like to link a service request to an account and an intermediary such as a travel agency. But the original datamodel only allow one account per Service Request.
So, I have created a custom object (Intermediary) that should have similar relations with other objects than the Account one. With this object, I will be allowed to link my two accounts to the SR. But I would like to insert an address field in my custom object. Unfortunately, this kinf of custom field type is not available...
Is there any solution to have one? Or is there another solution I could use to link 2 accounts to a Service Request?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent

We had the same problem. Decided to use one of the new custom objects (CO-05) for this purpose. The drawback of using it this way is the lack of automatic formating of the address lines by country selected like you get with accounts and contacts. On the good side, you can designate fields for use in interfacing with your external business system, i.e. Oracle eBS, JDE, etc.
We also added a link to this to bring up a modified Customers On Line form from Oracle eBS that gives us a view of the Quotes, Orders, Service Requests, Installed Base, Invoices and Credit Memos by customer party id number contained in eBS. This is what we call a 360 degree view of the customer.

Report Custom object with product?

if I want to create a report with the fields of a custom object in relationship with the fields of the product,is possible?
Because when i cilck in Analytics there aren't Custom Object link and in Product History isn't present the Object link where i select the columns.
Also when I go to the panel of Reporting there is not a link there is not the link that reports Custom Object with Product,also in Product Opportunity there isn't a Object link.
How can I be connected for a report these 2 entity?
Regards Vale

Hi Vale,
Unfortunately, not every object relationship is exposed within analytics and reports, and that is the case with the relationship you are trying to report on (i.e. Custom Object and Product). Also, Custom Objects can only be reported on using real time reporting (as opposed to the historical analytics).

Report weblink prompt row id - Custom Object

I really appreciate the help as I knew it had to be something small. I will note that the field name can be taken exactly out of the function from the column in the report.
