Change description of standard SAP field

Hi All,
I am trying to change the description of standard SAP field VKBUR from u201CSales Officeu201D to u201CDistrictu201D. I changed it in CMOD Text Enhancements Data Elements. The description has changed in many places but not in transaction VA01/02/03. I looked at screen SAPMV45A-4301. Field VBAK-VKBUR has attributes u201CModification of a field from the ABAP Dictionaryu201D set to u201CFu201D. It means when description is changed in dictionary, it is not transferred to this screen. So how can I change the description of this field in these transactions.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Alvarado,
Thanks for your response. I found out that there is no need for core mod.
In SE63 doing translating short texts for object type screen texts works.
However I am giving you points for your suggestion and closing this thread

IDOC trigger using Z change pointers for standard SAP table

For IDOC trigger, is using custom change pointers on standard SAP master data tables, a good idea? A seasoned abaper told me "it will mess with the standard" and further told to go with scheduled job.
So, for example, say that my data for table T001K is updated via transports in PRD and I need to transfer this updated data via IDOC to an external system. Since there is no standard message type for this data, I will create a new one. Further, I will create a new change pointer for table T001K (it already has six fields with their data elements activated for Change Documents). Then I link the message type and the new change pointer. And so on an so forth. I have followed the procedure given here:SAP Tips: A to Z of Custom Change Pointer
Now, the question is, will this be a good idea to capture data and trigger IDOC? Or a batch program with calls to standard FM to read CDHRD/CDPOS be a more suitable option.
I need to know if a near instantaneous data transfer (and an effecient one as far as the system performance and reliability is concerned) can be acheived. If there is any other way of doing this, I am not aware of it!
Any one has any input/experience on this?

Hi Viktor,
I think the batch program approach would be a good solution as the by this way you are taking matter into your own hands rather giving control to the SAP framework because you may have to test out the other approach as to how the standard SAP framework is behaving for custom change pointers.
Thanks,
Ravi

Set User Authentication at Particular UDF or Standard SAP Field?

Hi Experts,
I learn that we can set authorization at UDT by using Additional Authorization Creator.
Is there any method we can set authorization at particular UDF or Standard SAP Field?
For example: my customer just want to make one field in Business Partner to be "READ-ONLY" for certain users, is it possible to be done?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Required steps to add standard SAP field to Work Manager 6.0

Dear Agentry experts,
I need some help on how to add standard SAP backend fields to the Work Manager 6.0 application. The application is freshly setup and not yet customized apart from filters, so we are also new to develop it.
Specifically we want to add fields QMTXT and QMCOD from Notification Header. We have checked and the fields are activated in the backend configuration, so I hope there are no changes required to the backend. However, when checking the data in the ATE, the fields are currently not added / available in the Notification Collection.
I have searched this forum and found several pointers, but they deal with adding a full new field, and I want to keep changes limited. Can you please advise what specific steps I need to do on the Agentry / Eclipse side to close the gap between SAP backend and the Notification Collection. (I know how to add the fields to the UI if they are in the collection). Do we need to create custom Java Classes? Can I solve this by just Agentry configuration?
Thank you very much for your kind advice!

Look at the attachment, diagram depicts a data flow across the systems. You have to extend Java code for the object your trying to enhance and plus you have to make necessary changes on Agentry side as well.
if you have access to Service Market place , check out SAP-WM-6.0-EnhancementsGuide.pdf document under Work Manager 6.0 documentation which describes the steps involved in enhancing application.
Alternatively you can also check this blog Syclo Customization Extension-First Steps.

Search help for Standard SAP field

Hi,
I need to add a search help to Group key (KONZS) field in XK01 transaction. How can i add our own search help to a field in standard transaction?? This is some what urgent, please give me the solution .
Thanks in Adavance,
Moghani.

You can APPEND your own search help to an SAP field that has search help defined. This is similar to APPENDing fields to an SAP table. But since field KONZS does NOT have any search help assigned, this option is not available to you.
You can also attach the search help to a field on a screen, i.e. limit the scope to that single screen, but this would still require a modification to the system, and hence, an access key. If you want to follow that route, the program name is SAPMF02K, screen 120, element list tab, references tab, search help column.
If you find another way to do this without an access key, please let us know.

How to change the desription of a standard SAP field in the Search Help

Hi All,
In Table T023T there is a field WGBEZ60(Long text describing the material group) and the data element of the field is WGBEZ60.
Requirement is to change the description of the field WGBEZ60.The desription of the field is - Description 2 for the material group.
But the user want as - Description for the material group. He dont want 2 in the description.
we are using this field in the search help of Material group for the transaction ME21N and ME51N.
So please tell me how can we change the description of the field in the Search help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Peeyush

As search help uses data element , it shows its keyword. So you have to do modification to that keyword.
- Go to CMOD
- from top menu GOTO -> Text enhancements -> Keywords -> Change -> type WGBEZ60 -> change the description -> Save and add it to transport
- now use that data element either on the screen or search help. It will have the descripiton modified.

Marcin

Making standard SAP field editable

I have two standard fields VBRP-KOSTL (Cost Center) and VBRP-PRCTR (Profit Center) in transaction VF01(Create billing document) that I want to make editable. Can anyone give me detailed step on how to achieve this?
Thanks for your help. This would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Abbey,
You can do this by maintaining trasaction variant in SHD0. You would have options to make a field display only, required entry, optional entry, supress.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm
In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.
To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).
Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).
To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Regards,
Naveen.

Change description of MVKE-PRAT7 field in SD material master

Dear,
Unfortunately I have issues with a translation of field PRAT7, but only in German Language.
I've did the translation via TCode CMOD - Goto-Text enhancements-Keywords-Change.
In our development and test system, the translation is shown correct. But if I check the material master in productive system, it still shows the old description in the German language. The English description is correct?
Do you have any ideas what the reason could be?
Thanks in advance.

Couple of OSS notes you can refer for resolution;
1994468 - Generic labels for Product Attribute fields in Material Master

Hi,
I don't know how to change "Value table" field on domain without access key, but if nothing else work, you can add new fixed values. From menu Goto->fixed value append.
Other possibility is to use GuiXT -> write script that will call your FM that will get data from your table and show them.

Updation of Standard SAP Fields

Hi Friends,
I am generating some transaction with business object.I would like to update some SAP Standard Tables (base transaction). SAP does not recommend us to fire SQL Statement on standard tables. How can I update some fields like baseref, basetype,Iscommited and many more.
Can anybody throw some light on this topic.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Manish........
SAP does allow us to update some of the fields which has unique Id like Internal No. and its not healthy also for SAP DB.
So I would suggest you to create your own numbering in order get the the output.

Descriptions for Standard SAP Content

Hi All,
Recently i came across requirement where i had to implement Retail Integration. When i was researching on SAP standard content i was unable to find one single place where descriptions of all available SAP Content for PI is given.
It took me quite a lot of time to go through SAP Help and find information which was in fact scattered across different locations.
So just wanted to check if such a page exists somewhere.
Regards,
Anurag

You can see the entries of any table by creating a T.Code for that...means another screen (GUI) will be created...and after executing that, you can see the entries in just about any table..but be specific with the word "Triggering" shalaxy..as you want to retrieve the entries already there in the table..or you want to insert.
In any case...you have to contact the ABAPer for this.
Reward Points if it helps,

Encryption of standard SAP field (product cost)

Hi,
My client would like to encrypt product cost-related fields, and I was wondering how to encrypt the field much like you would a credit card number of password.
Thanks
Brian

Not sure if the encryption is in the GUI so users don't see it or in the database so DBAs can't access it.
One way to encrypt it is through DB encryption methods such as TDE for Oracle. If you are Oracle shop, TDE is in your license and you can use is as of Oracle 10.2.0.4.

Changing the description of the standard SAP fields
By Rahul
Consider the following scenario:
When entering the customer master details, we have the provision for entering the telephone number with extension, fax and telebox. Assume that we also need to enter the mobile number of the customer for which there is no provision. Also assume that we do not use telebox for any of our customers and want to use that field for entering the mobile number. Though you can directly enter the mobile number in the field u201Cteleboxu201D , the description u2018teleboxu2019 always misguides us. See the screenshot below:
This tutorial focuses on changing the field descriptions for scenarios similar to above.
All the short-descriptions for the fields are retrieved from the data element level of the corresponding fields. So we need to change the descriptions at the data-element level.
So our first step is to know the data element used for the field u201CTeleboxu201D. Press F1 and then F9 to know the data element. See the screenshot below:
Make a note of the data element.
Now go to transaction CMOD
Click on Goto à Text enhancements à Keywords à Change
Enter the data element.
Click enter. The following screen would appear:
Now change the descriptions as per the requirement. See the screenshot below:
Click on save.
Now to verify the changes, go to SE11 and enter the table name ADDR1_DATA. Check the short description for the field EXTENSION2:
Also go to transaction XD01 / XD02 and check the field:
The description u201CTeleboxu201D is now changed to u201CMobile Nou201D

Changes in standard SAP programs

Hello all,
How could I track the changes made to standard SAP programs by a client? The system is 4.0B and some standard R/3 application's source code has been modified to provide some non-standard functionalities (that was, probably, the worst solution - in many of the cases they could have use user exits or enhancements for achieving the same purpose).
In the table TRDIR (or, if you will, D010SINF) I can find the programs that were created by a set of users such as 'SAP' or 'SAP*' or 'DDIC' and were subsequently modified by client users (developers).
Furthermore, finding the development class of those programs (function module 'RS_PROGRAM_GET_DEVCLASS') gives me a better idea about what applications were really modified by the client.
Still, many of these programs that appear to have been created by 'SAP' or 'SAP*' and modified by other (client) users were generated as a consequence of configuration changes made by those client users, and therefore are not changes made to SAP R/3 standard.
Is there a way to track only those standard programs that were indeed modified by the client, at source code level?
Thank you,
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,
you can program your own tool-abap:
1) select table E070 ( TRFUNCTION = 'R' )
2) -> for all entries select V_E071EU
(TRKORR = e070-TRKORR)
3)-> list all found objects:
-V_E071EU-PGMID
-V_E071EU-OBJECT
-V_E071EU-OBJ_NAME
and create an interactive list (e.g. for SE11 and SE38)
hope this helps
Andreas
