Change in the behaviour of the value assignment type after the ECC upgrade

Hello Team,
We have recently upgraded our system to ECC 6.
In the older version of SAP whenever we try to open a phrase related property (in a particular substance specification) it used to give a warning message upfront in case any of the phrases used is not assigned to the phrase set.
But with the upgraded version this upfront warning message doesnot appear and we have to click on individual phrases to check if that phrase has any issue or not. This is quite time consuming in the case several phrases has been assigned to a property.
Please let me know if we have any solution for this available.
Regards,
Anoop

Hello Anoop
during our upgrade project we did not have the same problem. I have never heard about a similar problem. May be check OSS (SAP marketplace). Depending on the release you started may be you missed yome customizing to be done (if you started with SAP enterprise 4.7 Ext 1.1 the change is "dramatic"; if you started with SAP enterprise 4.7 Ext 2.0 changes should only be minor; in case of ECC 5.0: I believe there is no change.
a.) Do you have activated Enhancement Packages?
b.) do you use the "exit" to prepare "dynamic phrase sets"?
With best regards

Value assignment and value assignment type in the specification workbench

Hi all,
There is this section on the specification workbench called u201CProperty Treeu201D, this section contains all the value assignment type, I have two questions on this.
Question 1 u2013
What is exactly the value assignment type? The SAP help portal said it is a structure specification data and information. What exactly does it mean and its usage?
Question 2 u2013
May I know where is the SPRO configuration that actually causes the list of value assignment types appear on the property tree section for this particular specification type which I created.
In another word, I create this new specification with specification type u201CREAL_SUBu201C and specification category u201CSubstanceu201C in the specification workbench transaction. Next thing I know is that the property tree section for this particular specification consists of a list of value assignment type. How does the system assigned these list of value assignment types to this specification i created? Coz I didnu2019t do anything.
Where in SPRO and the logic link it up on this??
Thanks.

Hello all
EH&S contains a number of submodules (PS, DG, IH etc.). Regarding each submodule a basic customizing is delivered by SAP. One example is the specification type. Usually you will find something like
REAL_SUB
LIST_SUB
etc. in the Customizing as discussed. Further more I believe with EH&S 2.7. the specification category come in place (SUBSTANCE as an example). You need to take care regarding this too.
An value assignment type can be grouped in a property tree and a property tree can be linked to a specification type and there are cases known that one specification type is linked only to one property tree (this is a decision regarding business needs and not an IT quesition). Using the EHS& surface you can change the property tree per specification if the set up is done in Customizing. Therefore the property tree is a "view" on the data linked to a specification. (identifeirs etc. are managed different)
A "property" is based on a value assigment type and in many cases on a related EH&S class and characteristic. You will find these types.
A => value assignment type to be used if you need characteristics
B => value assignment type to be used if you need specification listing
C => value assignment type to be used if you need composition
.. etc.
You can mix types. That means you can create a property of type "A" and "C" (take a look in SAP original tree; you will find examples how to do it).
A propetry tree is a "list" of assignment type related to a object (specification). Using the property tree you can maintain necessary data. Therefore ithe property tree itself contains per specification the list of "potential" data structures you can fill with data. I belive SAP Standard is delviering now something like 250 properties (valeu assignment types): To e.g. get an MSDS you need to maintain I would assume at least something like 20 up to 50 properties
The area of customizing regrading property tree, specification types etc. is the most crticial to have a sucessful EH&S project running; any wrong decision gives rise to a high cost later Therefore take your time to understand what effect does which customizing acitivity have later.
Based on the value assignemnt you will create later e.g. a WWI report (like MSDS).
Additionally if necessary you can create customer specific value assignment types by either do a copy from SAP original to "Z" (highly recommended to do so!) or starting from basic.
Starting with EH&S 2.7. you have now more options to "change" EH&S using standard EH&S functionality. Take a look in customizinjg (example: you could create you own "look and feel" of the workbench (you should'nt really do that but it is possible). You can design your own "tab strips" etc.
So once again: the "correct" set up of EH&S in the area of e.g. identifers, speficiation types, property trees etc. is the "core" activity in EH&S customizing and therefore think "twice" before you change the setup up (you need to understand what a change mean)
With best regards

Assessment in the value assignment type

Dear all,
May I know what is the usage on the following assessment in the value assignment type section:
0 Not Assessed
1 Valid w/o restriction
2 Valid with restriction
3 Invalid
4 Cannot Asseed.
Why we need those assessment for each of the VA instance, what is the usage?
Thanks
YY

Hi,
Assessment tab is used to comment on the quality of the data the VA holds, you can say it as "not assessed" if its not checked by anyone,cannot be assessed likewise use other options.

Value Assignment Type Setting

Dear Experts,
While creating the Value Assignment Type in SPRO
there are following check box... which are
CharCopy Active - Automatic Activation of Copied Value Assignments
New Val. actv - Automatic Activation of New Value Assignments
Change Active - Automatic Activation of Changed Value Assignments
I have read the help for each check box but still concept is NOT so clear...
Could you please elaborate me the significan of each check box...
also, couuld you tell me that As per Standerd / Regular Industry Practice, which of the above check boxes should be active and which should not
Please Guide..
Amol

Hello Amol
in some sense there is no "standard" how a company should/can use these check boxes. Both options have pros/cons.
In my opinion best practise is to "set them" (all three) and to prepare a user manual in which this "behaviour" of the system is explained.
From the point of view of "clicks" the number of clicks are nearly the same.
E.g.
if you not activate them you have to set the indicator and you must save the data records and
if you have activated and you would like to take some time to think once again about content of the data record you would remove the active indicator and save (later you must set them again to activate them and save them regarding MSDS etc.).
In any case: to my experience the end user training regarding how to use the usage and what does the active indicator means (as well as the relevancy indicator) is not an easy task.
By the way: there is to my knowledge no corresponding customizing activity in which you can handle how the "relevancy indicator" can be set or not. So in any case (because the existance of an activated relevancy indicator is "driving" change marks in WWI reports) end user need their "time" to understand how to use properly this usage.
Further on they should be familiar in how to use the output variants (because using them you can get an fast overview about there a active indicator is missing etc.)
With best regards
C.B.
PS: additionally: the usage on the level of the identifier is "special" in some sense. Keep in mind this (especially in WWI reports). The reason is that the usage on the identifier has been created with EH&S 2.7. So in principle: you need not to use the usage to print a identifier in a WWI report but you should do that (because by using the usage you can additionally control the access rights of users).
PPS: one "strong" pro in my opinion to use the "active" option is this:
If you enter e.g. a source or a user defined text in the data record this information is normally not used in a WWI report. Therefore if you haven't "activated" this in customizing the user must ! set the acitve indicator once again. This means: Any ! change in data record (together with save) will remove the active indicator by standard (without using the three check boxes).

EHS - value assignment types

Hi Friends,
I'm not an EHS expert however I've received an EHS specific query, please help me to understand and how to proceed on below requirement:
In EHS module, create a new branch "regulatory information CLP" with 5 new properties and update old one to DSD/DPD.
For these changes, adds and changes will have to be done in customizing in "value assignment types" entry with different valorization type (branch and properties).
I can trace Value Assignments under property tree in SPRO but don't know how to go about.
Regards,
Yati

Hello Yati,
If I have understood correctly, you want to create / Edit a property tree. If so, thre are certain steps involved and it will not be possible to detailed it out here, but I will list out the requirements and steps involved;
Master data required:
1.Create characteristics for possible values to assign to the Value assignment type
2.Create class for the value assignment type and assign characteristics to the class
3.Create Phrase set
4.Create phrases and assign to the phrase set
Note: Step 3 &4 are required for phrase enable characteristics.
Perform following Customizing settings:
1.Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Database Structure -> Settings for Value Assignment -> Specify Value Assignment Types
2.Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Database Structure -> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment
3.Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Database Structure -> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Property Tree
Request you to visit SAP help at : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
and visit topic : Value Assignment under Basic Data and tools -> Specification Editing
Hope this information is helpful to you.

Sorting of value assignment types

Hi
Is there any way out for sorting already created custom value assignment types. As there is requirement to rearrange the tabs in Incident screen (CBIH82)
Currently value assignment types have been sorted alphabetically, and if we change the name of class and value assignment types for rearrangement, it may have larger impact because of its current assignments/usage.
Is there any other mechanism to sort them.
Regards
Vikram

Thanks Neeraj
But i am bit worried for changing the name of VAT, as existing VAT has been used in various custom programs. It may hamper/impact those programs.
I may have to look for some other work around or i have to do some impact analysis to find all the custom programs which can be affected due to change in name.
Regards and Thanks

Inferring return value assignment types - ever seen this ?

Consider a class designed to hold arbitrary values defined at runtime. It is backed by a Map<String,Object> and values are stored and retrieved by a String identifier. Basic type checking is also performed.
Setting the values is straightforward: obj.set(name, value) but I have two candidates for syntax of getters.
First an example of the obvious approach, where getInteger(…) performs type checking, casting and explicitly returns an Integer:
Integer id = obj.getInteger("id") ;This is ok but I discovered a more consice syntax that works without without explicitly naming a type nor sacrificing type safety any further:
Integer id = obj.get("id") ;In this approach we use a generic method, where the return type is inferred and passed to the method. Here's how I do it:
// root method that is called by both approaches
private <K> K _get(String name, Class<K> clz) {
Object value = map.get(name) ;
// check for null, assignability, etc.
if (!clz.isAssignableFrom(value.getClass())) {
throw new RuntimeException(clz + " is not assignable from " + value.getClass()) ;
return (K) value ;
// method 1 - the obvious way
public Integer getInteger(String name) {
return _get(name, Integer.class) ;
// method 2
public <T> T get(String name, T...ts) {
if (ts.length > 0) throw new RuntimeException("Illegal usage...") ;
return (T) _get(name, ts.getClass().getComponentType()) ;
}This works becaues type T is used for both the var-arg array and the return value. Of course, it probably fails if you provide additional args - you're not supposed to. ts.getClass().getComponentType() returns the type you are assigning the return value to.
Not many languages can take this into consideration. In a way, it makes the return type part of the signature.
Advantages:
- Much smaller API
- Dynamic extension for use with a new datatype doesn't require adding a new getX() method
- Members can be treated uniformly, such a through iteration
Disadvantages:
- Involve the confusing zero-length var-args in the api that must be ignored
- Type is inferred to be Object when the return value is not assigned
At first you might think that the method 1 is more type-safe but in fact it is not. Using method 1 you have to align the method with the assignment type, but you can still exception at runtime. In method2 the datatype is simply inferred.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this teqnique. Please let me know if you have a way of concealing the var-args oddness. I think this technique could complement various patterns quite well, such as factory.
Thanks for your input.

As I said: sometimes the tradeoff is worth it, but it should still be weighted.
Also: the ignorable varargs parameters are not needed in any way whatsoever.Please explain.From what I see you can replace this method:
public <T> T get(String name, T...ts)
// with
public <T> T get(String name)without any loss of functionality.

Assigning value assignment types to prop tree

hi experts,
kindly explain what is comprind?
thank you,
niharika

Hi Niharika,
As Christoph explained, the flag is used to either show only the node in a tree (flag set), collapsed mode) or open the node to see all VATs underneath (flag not set). ComprInd stands for compression indicator.
While it is technically possible to set this flag both anode and on a normal VAT, the latter case of course has no impact on what you see.

Troubleshoot Error - Unable to perform table-based value assignment config

After to creating class, characteristics, and value assignment type, the system is unable to perform table-based value assignment configuration. The following error is displayed:

Hi Mr. SAP,
Based on the diagnosis, you can figure out that most likely someone is already editing the customizing table or might you are not authorized..
In case if you have the access to SM12 Transaction code, kindly check if an entry present there. If yes it means the table is locked and you can't proceed on that. you have to reach out to the specific resource to unlock the table who did a lock, else you need to reach out to BASIS to make that entry delete.
Regarding authrization for locking of table, please check SU53 after the execution of the T-code, if you are missing any role. If you find anything there, then reach out to your Security team to get and assigned roles to your profile.

How to dynamically assign type to a field-symbol?

Hi,
I have two fields in one table, one for field name and one for table name. These can be fields in different
tables. I need to fetch value of this field in that table. So the type of this variable can change dynamically.
I am trying to assign type of this field dynamically to a field-symbol. I have to use this field symbol in a
select statement. Currently it is showing a dumb, as the field type is dec7. For some other types it is
working fine.
Regards,
Sunil

Hi all,
I have the same problem.
I tried with your helps but i can't fix them.
A message is raised "Field <fs_bet> unknown" when i used code below
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_bet> TYPE any.
DATA: c_bet TYPE string.
DATA it_0008 type STANDARD TABLE OF pa0008 WITH HEADER LINE.
DO 40 TIMES.
CONCATENATE 'BET0' index into c_bet.
ASSIGN (c_bet) to <fs_bet> CASTING TYPE pad_amt7s .
select * from pa0008 into it_0008
     where <fs_bet> = '1000'
     and pernr = 32.
     append it_0008.
ENDSELECT.
ENDDO.
Please help me to solve it.
Thanks so much,

Ntenich,
If your table has a Header and your Legend text is in the header, it will be picked up by the table.

How to Change the Value Field Type of a Value Field

Hi,
How can I change the value field type from Currency to Quantity of a value field? I have tried to do it in KEA6. I can change the value field and its description, but not the value field type from currency to qty. If I change this config, is there any other changes that I need to make so there is no side issue of this change?

Hi Prem,
Once you created value field as quantity or currency, you can not change this nature of value field. Based on this, system creates lots of data and tables. For this reason system will not allow any changes in quantity or currency.
Alternative way is to remove the old value field and create a new value field assign to operating concern and put all your seetings.
Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
Thank you,

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
<u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>
