Creation of a product description field of length 250 car. used for search?

Hi all,
we need to create a specific description field for products with a length of 250 (the standard description is too short at 40 car, =>table COMM_SHTXT) . That field should also be added to the search criteria.
What would be the best solution for this creation , given that the field must exist also in ECC SD from where the product is replicated to CRM :
-creation of a Z-append to the product table in ECC (table MARA?) and a corresponding include in the product table in CRM (COMM_PRODUCT) ?
-creation of an attribute in ECC (or Z-append) and creation of a "set attribute" in CRM (i.e transaction COMM_ATTRSET), but there are warning in CRM when you create an attribute of length > 132.
-using the standard Texts (no limitation of lenght) attached to products : is a search possible on these texts?or too complicated/poor performance ?
Regarding the display in CRM UI, is it possible to display all the 250 caracters if the field is a customized "set attribute" or a Z-append? It seems that it is not possible to display a string field on more than one line in the UI configuration, or even, on more than 8 columns in an assignment block?
thanks for your help

well, I have found at least how to replace the error message (length of max 75 car for PC UI) . Instead of trying to edit manually table T100C, there is an entry in customizing SPRO (cross appl/SAP Product/basic settings/Define Characteristics of System Messages
) which allows to customize standard messages , and so change from Error to Warning.

How to create a (product) description field of 250 car length?

Hi,
I need to create a specific field for the product description with a length of 250 car. (standard product desc field is only 40 car long), and this field will be added in the Product search screens.
So, i tried to create an attribute (tx COMM_ATTRSET) , but there is an error indicating that the max length is 75 for the PCUI, but the help states that this limit can be bypassed by replacing the error message by a warning one in table T100C.
But , i can't edit this table, though i have got SAP_ALL authorization.
First question : how to edt this table?
Secondly, if i manage to create an attribute with 250 car length, will it be displayed correctly by the Web UI ?
Would there be other ways to create this field (append z-Field in COMM_PRODUCT table? using EEW or AET?)
thanks for yr help

How to make a field of ALV Grid to use a Search Help?

Hi;
I have a ALV grid with a field catalog. Say the field is 'USR000'.
F4availabl = 'X' . for the field in the field catalog.
I have prepared search help named ZEV_PROTYPE that uses tha table ZEV_PROTYPES.(two fields in the table :ProType and Text).
Is it possible to make the field in ALV grid to use this search help if F4 is pressed on the field. ?
Which structure of the ALV must be used for that ? Is it Field Catalog ?
Would you please help me ?
erk.

Hi,
If you have a Z data element and the search help is attached to it, you can just give the reference table and field in the field catalog for the editable ALV field, and the search help should appear.

Error when creating a description field. MySQL syntax to use?

I'm creating a form which has a description field in it. I created this form with many fields. However I then got an error and decided to limit the form to only 2 fields. These 2 fields (user and title) insert with no problem. However when I added the description field into the mix. I gat the same error I had previously gotten.
Error:
Internal error.
Developer Details:
tNG_fields.getFakeRecordset:

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to define the table row in a different way?

Hi,
I am working on an image gallery using the tutorials.
I used the sql
SELECT *,
rand() as random_number
FROM image_img
ORDER BY random_number DESC LIMIT 1
on my default.php page but on preview i get the message
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
I tried the solution above by removing the desc limit.
I got the same prob.
I will like to know how best to tackle this.

Can new cutsom currency fields on User Records be used for SOD Analytics?

We will have new cutsom currency fields on User Records. Can we utilise these new custom fields for dashboard reporting using SOD Analytics?

Hi
Yuo can try to use FOR ALL ENTRIES option.
IF you have:
WERKS BTRTL
Z002 Z001
Z002 Z002
Z003 Z001
Z003 Z002
You should do something like that:
DATA: BEGIN OF <TAB_SEL> OCCURS 1,
 WERKS TYPE WERKS,
 BTRTL TYPE BTRTL,
 END OF <TAB_SEL>.
WERKS BTRTL
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z002'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z001'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z002'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z002'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z003'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z001'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z003'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z002'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
SELECT * FROM <TABLE> INTO TABLE ITAB
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <TAB_SEL>
 WHERE WERKS = <TAB_SEL>-WERKS
 AND BTRTL = <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL.
In this case you need to fill correctly the internal table <TAB_SEL> with the all combinations.

Table fields used for basic key figures in report writer/report painter

Does anyone know how I can find which table field is actually being used for SAP defined basic key figures in report writer report? For example, HSL is a basic key figure for income statement, library 0F1, report 0F-GUVV. It only shows data is coming from table GLFUNCT. How does the report writer program knows which fields to select? What is the logic behind the basic key figures?
Any advice is appreciated!!
Minami

I have now resolved this issue.
I had to manually update TablesT804B and T804F.
I've added entries to T804A in the past without the need to update T804B or T804F manually so it appears that the way these tables work together has changed following an upgrade or application of support packs.

Cleaning up the description field in the product export file?

Hello.
Here's the challenge: I have a large product list with large descriptions; with commas and other sorts of punctuation in it that will not allow me to simply download a product export file and re-upload it again without a lot of manual work to clean up all the "descriptions..." A lot of manual work.
Anyone know of a good way, or Excel Macro that can be used to clean up or remove all commas from the Description field in a product export file. Or maybe ignore this column, or something?
Many Thanks would be in order!
Tad

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the quick response!
Yeah, it is odd, because I've seen it work with some simple test sites with a few products, but not so fortunate on this one and it has many products.
When I export the product list, all the data is generated in a single column, and a few bad characters in the first row, I'll highlight that column in Excel and "convert column to rows using comma delimited." I've tried a number of ways with the same results... For every comma in the description it'll push the text into the next column and offset the applicable information. In the end I have rows that don't have correct info and field elements not aligning with the right data. I'll end up getting a multitude of errors like the one below:
Error ERROR: [No Name found]. Import process failed on record: [35] Please ensure 1) mandatory columns are present, 2) all products have Product Codes defined, which should be unique (if importing products)
Example of export down load - single column - one record with header
Example of column converted to rows - one record with header (partial copy to column S):
Thanks for your feedback,
Tad

Storing a field of length 500 char in a database table

I want to create a ztable in which I need to store the data of length more than 256 , so please let me know , how can we create the field of length 500 chars..
I have tried using STRING and LCHR , but it's not working.
Thank You,
Ankur Goyal

Hi,
Try creating the field like this
1. Create a new data element with required description.
2. While creating data element select 'Built-in type' radio button under Data Type tab. Specify Data type as STRING and press enter. You need not specify Length (or you can provide 500 here, I suggest not to specify field length as it leads to short dump if you enter text more than 500 chars in it).
Note: Once you press enter you can see an information message 'No length restriction'.
3. Save and activate the data element.
4. Use the data element for your text field in your custom table.
Important:
The text field with size >255 chars should not be a key field, neither you should select 'Initial values' option while defining field.
I have tried this and it worked.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Venkat

Text table for long text of product catalog area and product description

Hi experts,
I'm a new comer in CRM, what my current job is to do the translation for CRM system and its portal, e.g. webshop. Now I met some questions as below, Could you please give me some advices?
1. Long text for product catalog area (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
I found a table named STXL(STXD SAPscript text file lines), maybe, it is related to the long text(product catalog area), but I can not get anything from the field CLUSTD of the table STXL as its data type is RAW. Maybe, there is a text table in CRM to store these long text information, but I dont know, Could you please give me some ideas?
2. Long text for product description (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
I found a table named COMM_CFGLNGTXT(Long Texts for Different Objects), I can find some long texts(product description) in this table, but some others, I can not find them. I dont know why? Maybe it is not a correct text table. Could you please give me some advices?
Thank you very much.

Product Description as alternative ID

Dear All,
Is it possible to make the product description as an alternative ID? and How?
I tried to make a new ID type with Database table COMM_PR_SHTEXT and field SHORT_TEXT but when I click generate type it says that Table COMM_PR_SHTEXT no longer exists or has no field with the name SHORT_TEXT
Regards,
Ahmed

I think you should try to use expert mode for building Alternative id for your requirement.
Select the expert mode in the initial screen , then in the expert mode select the Do Not Generate check box.. Next build your own class by copying the CL_ALTID_PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_ID and in this class try to modify the methods to read the product descriptions for alternative id. You may look at the standard class for more details.
The idea is to create an ID that needs to reference particular table ( in your case , the product descriptions table )
I guess you have to explore more on this. It is not straight forward.
Hope it helps.

QM01 - Add Production Order field to Create Quality Notification

Hi all SDNers,
I have searched and found many threads related to my question BUT I'm new to this and I don't know how to implement in detail.
Would you please guide me step by step adding a field into a standard TCode?
My requirement is to add the Production Order field (VIQMEL-FERTAUFNR) to the Create Quality Notification (QM01) Tcode under the 1st screen in Reference Documents section of the Reference Objects tab.
The program is SAPMQM00 and screen number is 3011.
Thanks,
Khanh

Hi all,
I used the screen number 0140 in program SAPLQM03 as the initial screen before creating Notification type Q2.
Use SPRO:
Quality Management --> Quality Notifications --> Notification Creation --> Notification Type
--> Define Screen Templates --> Define Initial Screens
Then use Function Module QM03_CREATE_QMEL_WITH_WINDOW and screen 0140 above to configure.
Hope this will help others.
