Company code and Ship-To Party: variable values should be dynamic

Question

Hi,
We have queries where we have  Company code & Ship-To Party as Variable parameters.
While executing the report the user has to give the Variable values for both company code and ship to party.
But when they give the company code.....in the next parameter ship to party, it has to offer values which belongs to that company code only. But here it is offering all values form ship to party., where user don't want to see the value from other company code as they have lot of values there which is causing inconvenience to the user.
Kindly suggest me how to restrict the values at variable level.
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

Hi,
You can do that using BADI BW_BADI_F4 .
You can use this BAdI to restrict input help for entry variables in the BI variable screen.
Create a separate implementation for each required InfoObject.
The BAdI is designed for multiple use.
Restricting input help without using hierarchies
To restrict input help for flat object lists without using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Flat.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_RANGE Range table with other restrictions
C_INFOPROV InfoProvider
C_F4_Mode F4 mode
Entry parameters I_VNAM and I_IOBJNM return the names of the variables and the InfoObject that F4 helpwill be affected for. I_T_VAR_RANGE returns additional values from the variable screen entered beforethe call. These are returned in a range table that does not, however, return any information about variables that cannot be entered. I_T_COMPID is a list of participating BI queries.
If there is a single InfoProvider, entry and return parameter C_INFOPROV contains the InfoProvider forthe participating queries, and can be overwritten in the implementation. Especially when you have justone MultiProvider, this allows you to restrict the input help to one of the physical InfoProviders ifyou also set the F4 mode to u201CDu201D (input help from dimension tables). The mode can onlybe set to u201CDu201D in conjunction with physical InfoProviders, as dimension values are otherwisenot available. If you reference to a VirtualProvider that is based on a data transfer process, you always need to set mode u201CMu201D (input help from master data)
Return table C_T_RANGE is a range table of additional restrictions that can be used in the implementation.These restrictions are identical to restrictions that the system makes in the standard setting. It is therefore not possible to add to the list.
The following restrictions are permitted in C_T_RANGE:
u2022Restrictions for InfoObject I_IOBJNM itself (for example using a specified range)
u2022Restrictions to groups of InfoObjects (for example restriction of the fiscal year variant for fiscal years)
u2022Restrictions by the InfoObjectu2019s navigation attributes.
For technical reasons, pure display attributes cannot be used.
You can also make a restriction to physical InfoProviders. In this case, the input help is restrictedto the specified physical InfoProviders. Field IOBJNM in table C_T_RANGE then has to be set to 0INFOPROV.In the case of a MultiProvider using physical InfoProviders with mode u201CDu201D (input help from dimension tables), the input help is built from all participating physical InfoProviders.
Entry and return parameter C_F4_MODE describes the retrieval method for the F4 help:
u2022In mode u201CMu201D, the input help is built from the master data.
u2022In mode u201CDu201D, the input help is built from the dimension tables of physical InfoProviders.
The choice of method is therefore always dependent on the choice of InfoProvider.
Restricting input help using hierarchies
To restrict input help for flat object lists using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Node.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_NODE
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGAE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_HIERARCHY Table of possible hierarchies
C_T_NODE Table with node restrictions
C_INFOPROV InfoProvider
C_F4_Mode F4 mode
On the whole, this method is the same as method GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT. Instead of a C_T_RANGE, the additional node restrictions can be submitted using table C_T_NODE.
C_T_HIERARCHY contains the hierarchies that can be used based on the existing query restrictions. Ifthis table contains multiple entries, the system uses the first hierarchy in the standard setting. In a BAdI implementation, specific entries can be removed in order to select the required hierarchy.
Table C_T_NODE can be filled with individual nodes in order to restrict the hierarchy to the corresponding subtrees.
All other parameters are the same for Get_Restriction_Node as described above for method Get_Restriction_Flat.
