CProjects 4.5 Custom fields as Dropdowns

Can anyone describe how a custom field can be made to appear as a dropdown in cprojects.
I am able to enhance the customer includes to create them as Text fields but need to know how can they be created as dropdown list.
Thanks and regards
Vishal

Thanks Mathias.
We are adding the customer fields in the additional tab at project level and i am curious to know about your Matchcode approach of implementing this.
For us, the match codes are 4 digit numeric codes which cannot be interpreted by end users without a meaningful description. How did you get over this, Any workarounds ?
Is it possible to add the text field in the field customising and customer includes instead of the code field and still somehow use the codes as primary identifiers.
Cheers

Dropdown Custom Field in CATS Time Sheet in ESS

I have added a custom field in CAT2 transaction with drop down values from the custom table. When I log on to ESS I was not able to see the dropdown in timesheet for that field. I am able to configure the field to have a search help dialog box.
Let me know how can I configure the field to show dropdown values in time sheet in ESS? Appreciate your replies.
Thank you,
Rohit

check CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
or
use implicit enhancement of CL_Xss_cat_value_help_general for the purpose
build_f4_help Method in the class CL_XSS_CAT_RFC_COMMAND_TOOLS.
or note 914125 on how to get different helps
The table TCATS_SHLP_ITS also can be explored

Dropdown lists or F4 (input help) on custom field

I created a custom field and would like to either add a dropdown or an F4 input help. I know how to do the input help or the dropdown, but I would like the user to type in their own data on the field if they don't want to select from the list provided.
Does anyone know how to do this.

Check out this code.... This module does F4 help for a screen field called P_TRFAR.   It gets its values from the data base, you could easily build this internal table in your program without going to the database.
MODULE HELP_ON_TRFAR.
data: begin of help_trfar occurs 0,
       trfar type t510a-trfar,
       tartx type t510a-tartx,
      end of help_trfar.
select * into corresponding fields of table help_trfar
              from t510a
                    where molga = '10'.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield    = 'TRFAR'
            dynprofield = 'P_TRFAR'
            dynpprog    = sy-cprog
            dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
            value_org   = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab   = help_trfar.
ENDMODULE.
In you flow logic, you need the following line to trigger the help when the user presses F4.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD P_TRFAR MODULE HELP_TRFAR.
That should be all you need.

Transfering customer fields from cProjects to PS

Hello,
I am starting with programming and would like to pass some customer fields to PS where I have two areas. On the one hand I have some customer fields in PS and on the other hand there are fields like "account assignment element" and "billing element" which I have to set in PS depending on my customer fields in cProj.
Maybe someone could give me some advice to the following starting questions:
Where can I implement my code for sync the fields from cProj to PS. There are BAdIs for customer fields, events in cProj application objects and one to check/edit fields in cProjects. But which is the right one to use when I want to sync my fields within the save process?
Are there any code examples (except in the help files on help.sap.com and the img-guide) how to modify user defined fields and fields like "account assignement element" where I need to unlock the master data before modifiying them?
Is there somewhere code that should how I can navigate within the cProj-project structure in order to move from project definition , phase and task the tree up and down?
Wow.. what an adventure
Thx in advance,
your Vanessa

Hi,
Regarding field transfer, I answered your previous post.
Regarding the project tree navigation, you can use function module 'BAPI_BUS2172_GET_TREE' (with the project guid as import parameter), and then sort the table Ascending or Descending.

CProjects -error after modifying and then reverting custom field control

Hi,
We want to make a field non-mandatory in cProjects. We first changed the config of the field in the custom field control in SPRO by making it changeable.But after that cProjects is giving a dump when we try to view or create any project.
We reverted this change and restarted the servers but still see the dump.
Any pointers on how to solve this issue will be helpful.
Thanks,
Simmi

Vivek, Thanks for your reply.
We did not modify the standard field control.We just tried to make the one of the standard fields 'Changeable' in the custom field control we have.But we got the dump, so we reverted the change back to 'Mandatory'.
Now everything is same in the development server as other servers.. but still the dump shows up. Tried clearing IE cache , restarting server.. but the dump doesn't want to leave it seems.. Any ideas on what else we can try ?
Thanks,
Simmi

I am using the hierarchical accouting via PS and would like to synchronise some non standard customer fields from cProjects to PS. The fields for synchronisation are definded in structure BAPI_BUS2054_DETAIL. This is used in BADI DPR_FIN_GECCO_ATTR. There I am filling the ct_attributes to transfer the data.
My question is if it is possible to extend this structure in order to transfer own fields to PS?

"F4" search-help for custom field in PCUI

Hello all,
Does anyone know how I can create my own simple F4-help for a custom field I have added to a custom Tab Page in the PCUI? It should show a selection from a custom table.
I couldn't find an useable example in the PCUI-cookbook.
Any ideas anyone?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

Hi Manuel,
I saw that paragraph but didn't know how to implement it. Maybe you or someone else can explain/translate in steps what I have to do, according to the text underneath, i want to use a combobox:
"If you want the application to specify the values for selection (within popup or dropdown list box or
combobox (COBX respectively TIME)) at runtime instead of using predefined domain values, data
must be provided by the application via the method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX. That scenario
works if the field type is "Input Field" and the F4 application is set to "VALUE_TABLE". With these
customizing settings, the method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX of the interaction layer is called at
runtime and the actual field values will be passed to the application via importing parameter
IT_SCREEN_STRUCTURE. Thus the application can provide context-sensitive help values within a
popup or a dropdown list box respectively combobox (COBX respectively TIME). Within the popup
more than one column of values can be displayed."
How/where do I (re)define method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX? Do i have to maintain an own class? and how do i ensure that more columns are shown?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

Customer fields do not display in cProj 4.5

Hello,
I am trying to customize customer fields with the 'Define Field Groups for Customer Fields' IMG activity
I am using following steps to do this:
1. Enhance database tables for customer fields
2. Create field groups for customer fields
3. Assign customer fields for fields groups
4. Define fields groups per project type
5. Save and open cProjects
But when I start the application only the main tab and sub tabs can be seen. Other customer fields are not seen.
Does someone has an idea what is going wrong with it and where I can start searching the problem?
Thx, Vanessa

Hello Vanessa,
there is one more step that needs to be done in the customizing:
You have to set up a field control for your customer fields (IMG activity 'Set Up Field Control'). Here you define the conditions when these fields are displayed, hidden etc...
If you have no field control, these fields will be always hidden.
Please do not change the standard field control 0SAP but rather copy it to your own and adapt it according to your needs. Please refer also to the available IMG documentation.
Afterwards, this field control needs to be assigned to your project type (IMG 'Define Project Types').

Silvia

Adding custom fields in Contract and PO screen

Hi Experts
I am trying to enhance contract and PO screen by creating structure Ci_bbp_hdr_ctr and Ci_bbp_hdr_po
Now I am able to display the required fields on the screen.
Is there any other way to do the same??
I want to change the position of the fields, how to achieve that??
and How to display drop down fields??
Reg,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
To add the customer fields please have a look at the following OSS Notes:
Note 458591 - User-defined fields: Preparation and use
Note 672960 - User-defined fields 2
Also go through the following blog:
/people/nanda.kondagunta/blog/2006/10/23/how-to-create-custom-fields-in-srm
To display the customer field as drop-down list go through the below given thread:
Re: How to display Customer Fields like a dropdown listbox ?
The position of the customer fields depends on the order you added them in the Incluse structure as per the OSS Notes 458591& 672960. If you added a customer field first then it would appear first simlarly if you have added it at the end of the structure it will appear towards the end of the screen.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Adding custom field to Task using EEWB

Hi there,
I need to add 2 custom fields to a Task using the EEWB.
When I look at transaction CRMD_ORDER->Create, I see that the area I need to add to is categorized as a TASK.
But, following through the EEWB wizard, when asked for the EEW Bus. Object Type, TASK is not available on the dropdown.
My question is, is a TASK categorized as a BUSINESS_ACTIVITY ?
I've done a few of these already, for BUSINESS_ACTIVITY and SERVICE_PROCESS, and these were available in the EEB search help - not TASK though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks.

Hi Denis,
thanks for the quick response - I did the EEWB, choosing Business Activity, and then defined it as a Task
in a later step (Task was available on the later list, so I went with that).
Thanks again,
David.

Kindly suggest if anything is needed to be done in webdynpro component

Searching Custom fields Bridge CS3

Hello
I created a custom file info dialog box in Bridge CS3 using the audio data 1.txt file located @ C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels. I just modified the fields in that panel to my own custom fields.
Now I saved as test.txt in the same location as the audio data 1.txt file- and my new custom panel shows up in the metadata panel and I can add values to my custom fields as I would any other. My question is - how do I search these fields as they do not show up in the filter panel- Is it possible to have these fields show up in the filter panel?
Thanks

OK
I guess I haven't explained myself clearly-
Forget about keywords- Keywords are dead to me
If you go to the metadata panel in Bridge you see
File properties
IPTC Core
Audio
Video
Audio Data 1
Audio Data 2
etc...
Take "Audio Data 1" for example
I modified that .txt file so that where the field was Artist- I changed it to Sport
So now I can add
Baseball in the sport field so my custom panel looks like this
Sport: Baseball
Team: Wildcats
Player; JG
Position: CF
my question really is- about the filter panel- the Sport, Team, Player, Position fields do not show up in there, instead Artist, Album, and Genre show up in the filter panel. and When you click on the dropdown box for Artist it reads baseball- I need to change the Artist to Sport just like in the metadata panel so in the future these custom fields can be searched

Hide custom fields in checklist item depending on checklist type

Hi,
My requirement is that I want to hide some custom fields on a checklistitem depending on a checklist type.
Can this be done at configuration or programming level?
How can it be done?
Thanks

HI hemant vaidya ,
It may be possible to realize it via cProject field control functionality. You can define the condition using a so called schemata, and set the visible depend on the condition.
More details see note 947936
especially the section 'Create and use customer-specific conditions '
Kind regards,

CUP - custom field and match code

Hi,
is it possible to have a custom field in CUP with a match code to help searching ?
the only two way that i found are dropdown lists for a table from a backend system and free field ( varchar, date, numeric)
thanks
Regards
Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,
You can create custom fields in CUP for the following types.
1 Text type
2 Numeric type
3 Date type
4 Drop down
a) drop down data define in CUP
b) Drop down data coming from backend table.
If you want a request to be associated with a match code that helps you seaching the request later.
Than create an text type custom field and use in a workflow.
While a creating the request define the value of custom field.
Now you can serch request on the basis of the value define in the custom field.
Kind Regards,
Srinivasan
