Custom fields in CATS

We have created a custom field in the CATS entry screen and this field has been added to the CATSDB table, till then we are clear but my question is how to transfer this custom field to PTEX2000 and PTEXDIR tables and eventually to 2001 and 2002 Infotypes assuming we creating a custom fields even in 2001 and 2002 infotype records.

Well there is a limitation in SAP to extend on CATS fields. SAP allows to extend on the CATS transaction but does not support pushing custom fields through the entire transaction and updates mechanism. If you really need to do this you will have to do a couple of modifications.
To ease the pain you can utilize some of the BAdIs and function modules to push data through but you will still need to extend some of th estructures according to your purposes.

Additional Fields in CATS

The CATS additional fields (CATS_ADDFI-FIELD1 to CATS_ADDFI-FIELD10) are all CHAR type fields of length 35. I want to create a custom Notes field and assign it to one of the Additional Fields but I would like to have more than 35 characters. Is there away to create a custom CATS field that is more than 35 characters and assign it via the Additional Fields?

Hello David
Please look at the following information provided by our developer in Apr. 2006
unfortunately I have to tell you that you are describing a program
limitation with regards to custom fields. The standard length of
customer fields is defined in the CATSDB structure with 35. Please also
refer to the element list of the screen (SAPLCATS 2002).
A fieldlength > 35 CHAR is considered not to be usable on the CAT2
entry screen, therefore this limitation has been introduced.
According to development I have to tell you that this is the standard
design which will not be changed. However you can change it yourself
via modification to prevent this truncation. This has to be done for
CATS_ADDFI_FIELD* in screen SAPLCATS 2002.
Another option other than a modification would be to create a
development request for any new functionality (e.g. conversion of all FL
to a uniform object ID).
Hope you can understand this case.

Jun

Number of Custom Field Restriction between SRM MDM OCI Mapping to SRM

Hi Experts,
We have a project requirement to cater to 70 Plus custom field which is NON Standard fields transferred from SRM MDM to SRM Shopping cart
We need to understand if this is achievable??? by enhancing OCI mapping and Catalog Transfer BADI.
We appreciate your response in this regard.
Regards
Prashanth

Hi,
There are 5 pre defined custom fields in the OCI, NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD[1-5] are available, each with different structures (i.e. field length etc) to support different requirements. All are of type CHAR though I am pretty sure.
These fields can be passed via the OCI interface and then mapped to standard PROCDOC fields using the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi.

How to populate a custom field of a Std. SAP Tx with BAPI usage 2 Load data

Hi Experts,
For instance, I created a custom field (say, custom_field_1) on a screen of standard SAP tx(say, ME21N) by using screen exit. And in order to populate the data into it (custom_field_1), will use the Function user exits of this Tx(ME23N).
1) In next step, Where Where I have to add this field, apart from appending the same custom field in EKKO/EKPO table or any other related table; Extending the corresponding IDOC or creating a new Custom ÍDOC type? like What about BAPI?
2) If I got a text file with the data (including the data for this custom_field_1 too) and I have been asked to load it into SAP, then, I decided to use BAPI (say, BAPI_PO_CREATE or CREATE1) to create the data, So, How to handle this custom field, I mean, In which BAPI structure I have to pass this custom_field_1 data? ( Iguess, for some BAPIs EXTENSIONIN structures are provided, sorry if am wrong!)
Thank you.
Edited by: SAP ABAPer on Feb 21, 2009 7:40 PM

for example if you added field in the VBAP table then you can pass the custome field values like below
     move 'BAPE_VBAP' to lwa_extension-structure.
      lwa_bape_vbap-vbeln = lwa_final-vbeln.
      lwa_bape_vbap-posnr = lv_posnr.
      move lwa_final-yyslotid to lwa_bape_vbap-new custome field.
      move lwa_bape_vbap to lwa_extension-valuepart1.
      append lwa_extension to lt_extension.
      clear lwa_extension.
      move 'BAPE_VBAPX' to lwa_extension-structure.
      lwa_bape_vbapx-vbeln = lwa_final-vbeln.
      lwa_bape_vbapx-posnr = lv_posnr.
      move 'X' to lwa_bape_vbapx--new custome field.
      move lwa_bape_vbapx to lwa_extension-valuepart1.
      append lwa_extension to lt_extension.
      clear lwa_extension.
call function 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
        exporting
          salesdocument    = strcture
          order_header_inx = strcture
        tables
          order_item_in    =strcture
          order_item_inx   = strcture
          schedule_lines   = strcture
          schedule_linesx = strcture
          extensionin      = lt_extension.

ABAP query using logical database KDF is not populating custom fields

Hi Experts ,
I created two following queries
1.       VENDORCATKDF – uses KDF logical database
2.       VENDORCATLFA1 – uses table = LFA1
I’m pulling the same information in both queries:
·         Vendor Number
·         Country
·         Vendor Name
·         Vendor Category (custom fields added to LFA1)
The results for the query that uses the logical database KDF is incorrect. It doesn’t pull in the flag on the custom field LFA1-ZMRO.   Even though the logical database KDF is made up of the table LFA1 and has these fields.
Is there something that can be done – so that all of these “custom” category fields under LFA1 (such as LFA1-ZZMRO) – get pulled into queries – when we use the logical database KDF ?

Hi,
I have got the error removed by ensuring that fields from one table are a part of one line ( taking help of ruler) only. But the underlying problem remains, the output is not ALV but List output.
I do not think having additional fields in the query is reason for this.
Is it bcoz iI am adjusting the output length of columns to ensure no hierarchical error ?
Can we not have a query using LDB which is shown as SAP List?

Garima.

Hi,
please trye this :
Please make sure u implemented: methods PUT_DATA_TO_SCREEN and GET_DATA_FROM_SCREEN as they are required for data transport. These methods are called from within the program of the application at PBO or PAI .
See below example code:
PBO:
MODULE initialize OUTPUT.
CLEAR: sflight, ok_code.
IF exit IS INITIAL.
CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_instance
CHANGING
instance = exit.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>set_instance_for_subscreen
EXPORTING
instance = exit.
ENDMODULE.
The factory method is used to create an instance of the adapter class. You then declare the instance using the public static method SET_INSTANCE_FOR_SUBSCREEN to allow the data for display on the screen to be used in the function group of the user or in the module pool.
MODULE data_for_subscreen OUTPUT.
program = sy-repid.
dynpro = sy-dynnr.
CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_prog_and_dynp_for_subscr
EXPORTING
exit_name = 'BADI_SCREEN'
calling_program = program
calling_dynpro = dynpro
subscreen_area = 'SUB'
IMPORTING
called_program = program
called_dynpro = dynpro.
CALL METHOD exit->put_data_to_screen
EXPORTING
flight = sflight
EXCEPTIONS
reserved = 01.
ENDMODULE.
PAI:
MODULE user_command_0200 INPUT.
CASE save_ok.
WHEN 'BACK'.
SET SCREEN 100.
WHEN 'SAVE'.
PERFORM save_flights.
WHEN '+EXT'.
CALL METHOD exit->get_data_from_screen
IMPORTING
flight = sflight
EXCEPTIONS
reserved = 01.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
The method GET_PROG_AND_DYNP_FOR_SUBSCR and the input/output parameters specified above are used to determine the name of the customer program and the name of the subscreen. The method PUT_DATA_TO_SCREEN which is called at PBO as well as the method GET_DATA_FROM_SCREEN which is called at PAI are used to transport the data to be displayed.
These methods are implemented by the user:
When you define a screen enhancement, you are strongly recommended to provide sample code for the methods PUT_DATA_TO_SCREEN and GET_DATA_FROM_SCREEN. This code is automatically copied when you create an implementation and can be added to if required. The user of the BAdI definition should not be responsible for the data transport.
regards,
..Pradeep
