Can Me_REQ_POSTED (in ME54) be used to modify custom fields in EBAN?

Hi ,
I have a requirement that I have to validate the approver authorization when he tries to approve the PR. I am using the badi ME_REQ_POSTED and the method is 'POSTED'. I have created a z implemetation including this method and the validation are working fine, But at the same time I need to update some custom fields while this check in the BADI.
I have tried BAPI_PR_CHANGE, direct using update statement but still unable to update the custom fields in EBAN TABLE.
I have noticed that at point of update custom field is getting updated but when later on the release status gets updated from the system my custom field value also vanishes.

After BAPI you need to use CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
Are you using it?

LSMW FOR MATERIAL MASTER USING BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA -Adding Custom Fields

Hi Gurus,
I'm developing LSMW for Material Master Upload using BAPI method.
Object:BUS1001006
BAPI:BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
MESSAGE TYPE: MATMAS_BAPI
BASIC TYPE : MATMAS_BAPI03.
There is a requirement to use/map a custom field. Upon research custom field can be added to the parameter EXTENSIONIN and EXTENSIONINX, but I have no Idea on how to do it with LSMW. Please advise what approach is needed.
Thanks and Regards,
Jay

Hi Gurus,

Thank you Andrew for getting back to me and I have found somewhere on the net the following macro that would do the job for the version 2007. Here is a copy for those that may need it.
Option Explicit

Set cbrMain = Application.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar
Set ctlMain = cbrMain.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Temporary:=True)
ctlMain.Caption = "Export to Outlook"
Set ctlOLExport1 = ctlMain.CommandBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With ctlOLExport1
.Caption = "Selection to Outlook tasks"
.OnAction = "Macro """ & "Export_Selection_To_OL_Tasks"""

Alternative Account number - using as a custom field/Issues in reports pull

Hi All,
Requirement:
Create a new field in the GL master that will link through to a new 8 to 10 character new Chart of Accounts (COA).
We are presently using the "Group Account number" field from the GL master for reporting purposes through a Group COA. So this won't be available for our new purpose. Instead of creating a custom field and pulling the data, I'm thinking to use Country Chart of Accounts to fill this gap by using "Alternative Account Number" in GL Control data tab.
I created a new Country COA and assigned it to Operational COA. Created new GL account (FS00) and also created a new Country Chart of Accounts (FSP0) at Chart of Accounts level and assigned this to the created GL (FS00). In this process I got couple of issues
1) System didn't allow me to assign Country COA GL if already has the balance, and tried to change this error message in OBA5 without success. How can I add newly crated Alternative a/cs to the existing (balanced) GL A/cs?
2) This time I created brand new GL a/c and added the alternative a/c and created new Financial Statement Version (FSV) assigned the newly crated a/cs but I couldn't run the reports on this new COA, getting following error message "Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible" when executing F.01/F.08.
3) May be silly to ask - why we are not maintaining the Alternative a/c at Company Code level (FSS0)? Why we are only maintaining at Chart of Accounts level (FSP0)?
Would be glad if any one touch this area deep enough to understand easily

Hi
The system will update the amount at company code level GL only. You can post the entries at company code gl only, no option to post the transaction figures at chart of accounts level. So the group COA or country level COA will pick up the transactional data from the GL at country level. Remaining level GLs are link with the country level COA.

PARTNER_UPDATE modify custom field

Hi all,
I need to do some modifications in partner data, the problem is that the badi PARTNER_UPDATE is only triggered if a standard field is changed. The same happens with others badis like BUPA_ADDR_UPDATE.
I've added a custom field and I want to modify it and other things when the user push "Save".
Do you know if is possible to trigger this badi manually?
Thanks in adavance.

Can the Extension Builder be Used to Modify Existing InDesign Menus and Panels

Hi,
I am using the CS5 SDK to create new panels and menus for InDesign.
I would like to know if there is a way to modify InDesign's existing native panels and menues. For example, I might want to display additional information about assets in a Library panel.
TIA,
mlavie

Sorry, no direct way. You could theoretically build your own panel and then supercede the menu for ID's panel. Nobody's tried it that I know of; and, frankly, I wouldn't recommend it as it could easily break something in ID.

Can a Lookup Window be used to search multiple fields w/o clicking Advanced

In our setup in R18, if a user clicks the magnifying glass to see the Lookup Window, it defaults to searching on one field -- let's say last name. Unfortunately, if they search for a common last name, like "Smith", they may get hundreds of results. Had they used the Action Bar search, they could have used first and last name and gotten much closer to the result they want (if not the specific result they wanted).
I'd like to avoid having the users click Advanced as: 1) they then have a myriad of fields to choose from, and 2) not everyone will be an expert in using "and" and "or".
If they could just use the Lookup Window they same way as the Action Bar, I'd be happy. Maybe I have it misconfigured? As it is, when I open the Lookup Window, the drop down shows the same fields I have in the Action Bar, but when I click Advanced, the fields are all blank. That's unlike the Action Bar Advanced link which pre-populates the fields I can search on.

It is not possible to search on multiple fields in lookup windows without going to the Advanced tab. Your suggestions are valid. Have you considered creating an enhancement request?

In PWA, can I use a "Site Column" as "Custom Field" or vise versa?

Hello,
I am using PS 2013; I was wondering how/where "Custom Fields" are created? How there are related to the Site Column?
Can I create a site column and use it as a Custom Field?
Hope my question is clear ^_^

Hello,
As Guillaume has mention, there is no link between SharePoint site columns and Project Server custom fields, they are different entities used for different parts of the system. Site Columns are a SharePoint setting that can be used in the lists / libraries
on the SharePoint sites. Project Server custom fields are used by Project Server and not SharePoint. Project Server custom fields are created via the PWA > PWA Settings > Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables page. You can see a post
here on creating Project custom fields in the second half of this post:
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/getting-started-with-projectonline-part-2-ps2013-office365-project-ppm-sharepointonline-pm/
Scroll down to the section starting with: "Before we look at creating custom fields lets have an overview.." for details on custom fields.
You can also create Project Server custom fields and lookup tables programmatically using the PSI / CSOM / JSOM if needed.
There are ways in which you can "sync" SharePoint columns with Project Server custom fields but this is not out of the box. You would need to look at developing your own solution or look for a 3rd party solution. Fluent Pro have a solution to sync
Look up tables with other sources such as a SharePoint list, see the Lookup Manager here:
http://www.fluentpro.com/project-server/other-products/products-for-project-server-2013/
If you just want Project Server data / fields to be available as a option for a list item on a SharePoint list, look at using the BCS, an example can be seen here:
http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/epm/archive/2010/11/02/adding-project-server-data-as-columns-to-sharepoint-sites.aspx
Hope that helps

EasySign: Can I or can't I modify filled fields?!

Is it just me, or is Acrobat EchoSign a user-hostile piece of garbage? I am using Reader 10.1.3. Below is a form I'd love to fill out and perhaps "sign" with a TIFF of my signature, but first I have to type in some fields. Getting to this point took me 20 minutes this morning:
(Sorry about the furry JPEG; Adobe Forums only passively informed me after I tried saving to three non-antialiasing "content types" that it would only accept the JPEG.)
If you will look at the name field under the "YOUR INFORMATION" section, you'll see three blue blotches reflecting three multiple-selections of zero-length text area boxes from the list at the right. Those objects are the result of my patiently left-clicking the I-beam over my name in an effort to modify the text I've entered in each field. Each time I did so, I would briefly see a blip appear under the I-beam, but it would not allow me to edit my text. The blip, of course, was a zero-length text area box being created. I persisted because at one moment I swear I did see an arrow icon and it let me make a blue selection over one patch of my text, but then for some reason when I typed nothing happened, and then the apparition vanished and I could not repeat it. And it was only after a few minutes, when in frustration I started playing with right-clicking over a text field, that I discovered the "Comments List" so useless to me.
There are now dozens of these mini-boxes all over the sheet (just look at how the "Comments List" has 86 entries instead of the 12 that actually contain text). But this means I can't edit something once I've finished a text, doesn't it? If so, why not? Why is it not clear to me, a sophisticated user? Why the bizarre and unpredictable behavior? Or am I some kind of idiot, not having found the correct incantation? Perhaps one of Adobe's priestly programmers or myriad sycophants will now enlighten us all, tacitly suggesting that it's merely my stupidity, for They Knew the Blessed Secret Their First Time.
I've searched pretty exhaustively for a solution to this and so far have found nothing, but perhaps that's because I've only budgeted 45 minutes for this would-be simple task. Am I going to have to pull this file into Illustrator, or print it out and mail it?
Twenty or so years ago, I was probably the first or second person outside of Mountain View to be shown the alpha of Carousel. Since that moment -- and despite having held out hope numerous times -- I still can't easily fill out a document online without heartache. Why can't I edit a field? What am I going to have to do when I want to modify a multi-line field? My workarounds over the years have run the gamut of every possible thing you can imagine, from scanning into Photoshop or Illustrator or Quark or InDesign; to blind fields and double-exposures on a laser printer; to glue; even to hacking the fields into the PostScript with setfonts and movetos and shows.
I've spent 40 years in the graphic arts; half of them I've wrestled with Acrobat, on some pretty complex work products having features of debatable benefit when shoehorned into PDF format. When it comes to the simple single-page monochrome Letter/A4 form -- the most abundant portable document on Earth -- we are now in Acrobat v10 and all I want to do is easily fill out a form and sign it and e-mail it back and I still can't.
Why is life so much harder now than when I could run this through a typewriter, Adobe? What are you really doing about it for the billions? How much more of our lives' valuable moments are you going to squander?
(P.S. What a difference almost a day makes: Hours after beginning this -- and just before submitting this article -- I myself have discovered the incantation with a few minutes' further experimentation over the many already expended. I can now recreate the arrow and edit the field. It is actually not difficult, but it is far from obvious and it is the furthest thing from good UI technique. Nevertheless, I now Know The Blessed Secret, or at least one part of it. But it does not change my position above. Can you surmise why, O Adobe Priesthood of Insufferable Sanctimony? If it takes a seasoned programmer hours to learn out the combination, what makes you think Grandma and Grandpa are ever going to figure it out?)

You do it unconsciously; we are all forced into these mentalities by our circumstances. But all three of you experts were wrong about who listens, at least when you pray as loudly as I do:

Hi Peter,
This is Kevin M. Lynch and I run the Acrobat & Document Services business at Adobe (coincidentally our CTO is also named Kevin Lynch, but I’m not him - I run the document business).
I saw your forum post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058887) and want to apologize for the difficulties you’re having filling out and signing a form.
It’s certainly our intention to make this a very easy process so I’m glad you went to the trouble to let us know that it was a frustrating experience for you.
Frustrating to me, but mainly because it is no doubt frustrating for (literally) billions of others less sophisticated than me. That is my main concern, and the ball I keep my eyes on. I feel terribly sorry for them.From what I can gather, you had no problem knowing where to go and click the “Sign” panel on the right and then clicking the add text button (and let me know if otherwise).
Well, that's a separate issue. I intuited that it was what I might need to fill out a basic form. But most people won't get even that.
But then there were two issues that prevented filling out and signing the form from being drop-dead easy:
1) After adding text the first time (which was hopefully easy – let me know if not), you couldn’t go back and correct it. Every time you tried, you ended up inserting a new blank text block. It would have been much nicer if we had a wider selection range so that if you clicked anywhere near a field that was already added we just selected it and allowed you to edit it.
I don't know about the width of the selection range; it seemed to me that there was *no* selection tolerance. I was rolling all over the text looking for it to catch and it wouldn't, hence 75 null textareas. (Possibly the cursor just was refusing to change from I-beam to arrow, I reasoned, and clicked, but did not get into an edit mode.) My sense is that it was not going to give me an arrow no matter where I went. My workaround (which few of your millions will be patient enough to discover) was forcibly exit the I-beam mode by going to the "Place Signature" mode and then re-enter the "Add Text" mode, which then readily showed me an arrow whenever I rolled near/over a textarea, and then let me click into the textarea and modify it.
I'm not on the subject machine. I'm on a brand-new laptop now and just upgraded its Reader from the factory 10.0.0 to 10.1.4 to get EchoSign and see if I can reproduce it here. On the same document, I appear now to be able to roll over created textareas and click the I-beam over them and get in. So it's not a global issue. The exhibiting machine is, I think, a Lenovo with Windows XP, but I will have to check this. If you need specific installation information to help isolate, please tell me what you need.
But I'm seeing some wrong behaviors even now:
While in "Add Text" mode (even when appearing to function properly, as on this installation), the elongated I-beam cursor does not morph to anything else as I roll over, so there is insufficient feedback prompting me to know I can modify the field.
This is inconsistent with what I experience when I escape "Add Text" mode. (I find I can escape "Add Text" either by entering "Insert Signature," as I note above, or in another way, by manually closing the editing palette by clicking its close box.) When I move out, I appear to be in a free-cursor mode; it now prompts me with a change to an arrowhead cursor whenever I roll over a textarea, and then it puts me into something unexpected called "Typewriter" mode (the only surface indication of the difference is that a lozenge in the editing palette now says "Typewriter" instead of "Add Text".
It is altogether unclear the functional difference between "Typewriter" mode and "Add Text" mode, or the purpose of having two different identities for two modes that seem to share some functions. Their behavior, however, is different enough to cause confusion. This could be streamlined quite a bit.
Editing text (new or modifying) in either of these two text modes appears to be operating one pixel below the finished text after repainting.
2) You couldn’t add a TIFF image as signature. I’ll have to have my team look into this as I can add one without any problems on my system. However, like you, I don’t understand why we don’t have both TIF & TIFF in the filter so I’ll have to follow up with my team to see if there is any reason for that.
This may also be local to that machine I was on Friday. When I return to Chicago I can check this, if it's important to you and if you are confident that doing so will bear fruit.
Am I correct in that those were the two issues or were there others? Once you went off the beaten path into comments you could see that we use the commenting capability, but our intent is to have it easy enough that you would never go there. If it helps to clean up your document, you can select each blank comment in the right side panel and hit the delete key to get rid of them.
See above, which gives you some more information. As you can glean from between all of my acerbic comments, I felt that the user experience was in many places carelessly thought through. You provide another case in point above, speaking of "Comments" mode. The three modes -- "Add Text," "Typewriter," and "Comments" -- obviously are genetically related. Their respective purposes become indistinct and confusing to the casual user. The basic shift from mode to mode is confusing; tool depth level and state are uncertain; use metaphor for each tool is nonstandard, inconsistent, and counterintuitive; visual feedback is lacking or inconsistent; and I think in some generals and some specifics each tool's entry point and interface needs to be reworked. I realize that you're constrained by the Reader API UI, so you don't have infinite flexibility, but there are still some basic things you can do.
Even with a working installation as I have here, it is confusing. On my View menu, I have two "Sign" and two "Tools" items. Why? I can't seem to find how to get back into "Typewriter" mode. What is it? Where is its entry point? Is it part of Sign or is it part of something else?
Form filling could use some user workshopping to figure out how to make it intuitive. Starting from the top, ideally, Acrobat Forms, if implemented in a document, should be user-seamless with EchoSign. Whether a document is forms-enabled or not, ideally the tools should have the same look and feel. I am skeptical about that being easy. But George Johnson raised the point that you now have two distinct products serving (from the user's perspective) identical purposes. If Reader is going to be user-centric, that proposition needs to be taken into account right away. Starting with that, a universal text editing palette for both Forms and EchoSign (whatever the underlying difference) might be in order. Distinguishing among text "in stone" (the immutable background PDF); malleable superimposed text fields and images (e.g., signature); and comments needs to be treated.
If I were god, just off the top of my head, tomorrow I would open all Acrobat documents by default in a basic "Add Text [e.g., fields and comments] or Image [e.g.,signature]" mode with a universal text-cum-graphics palette, similar to what you have but switchable within between text and image (consider PageMaker's old universal palette, dumbed down). If forms-enabled, the text palette would be activated and the cursor inside Field 1 ready to type. If not, you have an I-beam as the default. You could switch to Image mode within the palette and the palette would provide a signature subfunctionality (including EchoSign's capability of retaining as default signatureStamp), or other image type. Maybe outside that mode is panning and zooming, maybe panning and zooming are hierarchically equal to those two modes. I at least believe that the key to this is that text / comments // signatureStamp / images should now be as basic to Reader as pan/zoom. How to make those two modes intuitively switchable by the grandparents is probably not so tricky, but I would have to think about that a bit more.
I appreciate the time you’ve already taken to struggle through this and provide feedback. I personally want to eliminate the need to print out, sign, and fax back these stupid forms!
You and a few billion others. Thanks for the prompt response.

Kevin

Can I develop a site using Bootstrap and then import into Dreamweaver to update to the free Business Catalyst hosting?

Can hand generated code be imported into Dreamweaver in order to use the free hosting option?

BC provides you templates to use to modify and sell to a client. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there. For example, the templates are offered when you go to create a new site. BC asks if you want to use a template, import a site, etc… so your analogy doesn’t apply in this situation.

How do I copy over "Created By" & "Modified By" field values to a new library, using PowerShell?

I have a site that was migrated from SP 2007 to 2013, using a docave tool...this works fine and everything seems to be okay. However I now have to move documents from one Library to a new one, along with all associated metadata. I have a PowerShell script
I am using to do this and it is working...for the most part...except for copying the authoring metadata. So when I run this PowerShell script, I get my "Created By" and "Modified By" fields updated with the "WindowsAccount" user
account that performed the migration. This is what is confusing to me...after the migration, when I look at my Library, these fields are displayed correctly. Meaning I have documents that were created by John Smith, and modified by Jane Smith, showing up with
the right metadata in the library after migration...but when I run my script to copy the documents to a new library, the output is not John Smith or Jane Smith but the "windowsAccount" user that performed the migration. Here is what my script looks
like, in trying to get the right values to show.
$sWeb = Get-SPWeb $SourceWebURL
$sList = $sWeb.Lists | ? {$_.Title -eq $SourceLibraryTitle}
$dWeb = Get-SPWeb $DestinationWebURL
$dList = $dWeb.Lists | ? {$_.title -like $DestinationLibraryTitle}
$AllFolders = $sList.Folders
$RootFolder = $sList.RootFolder
$RootItems = $RootFolder.files
foreach($RootItem in $RootItems){
$sBytes = $RootItem.OpenBinary()
$dFile = $dList.RootFolder.Files.Add($RootItem.Name, $sBytes, $true)
$AllFields = $RootItem.Item.Fields | ? {!($_.sealed)}
$User = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Author)
$UserField = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($sWeb,$User.ID,$User.LoginName)
write-host "User's Name: "$UserField.User.Name.ToString()
Has anyone experienced something like this before? If so, what is causing this and how can I get my script to start displaying the right data for "Created By" and "Modified By"?
Thanks,

This is the expected behavior. Both "Created By" (internal name Author) and "Modified By" (internal name Editor) will be set to the user running the script. In order to update theses fields in the destination item with the values present
in source item, the script needs to be modified. Read the values of these fields in source and update them in destination using SplistItem.SystemUpdate() method, like:
$Author = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Author) $Editor = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Editor) $destinationItem["Author"] = $Author$destinationItem["Editor"] = $Editor$destinationItem.SytemUpdate()
