Defaulting address information into portal screen fields - ESS

Hi,
I have a slight issue, it goes something like this. In the backend when selecting a post code - The City and distict will automatically default. This does not happen in the portal (EP7 - ERP2005). We get the drop down for the post code, but have to also select the city and district manually. Could someone explain is there a way of defaulting information, so that it works like the backend. Where is configuration?
The front end should behave like the backend.

Hi,
I had the similar problem. Several users reported that different ESS iviews were not coming up for them (such as time entry and create expense report) and that they were getting blank pages. These users had proper permission in PCD and ECC back-end, and they had no problem with anyother iviews or pages.
I just tried Kwong Tat's suggestion of clearing personalization, and this fixed my problem.
I like to give Kwong Tat points, but I don't know how, since this is not my thread.
Joon,

Importing NT User information into Portal

We are using Portal in an NT environment, and we have been able to get through the necessary single sign on issues.
Now, we need to pull our NT user information into Portal's user database, including all the groupings we already have set up so that we can take advantage of Portal's exceptional security features. This is key to our ability to use the product, and to our demo in a week.
The fact is we have 5,000 users to enter, and it is prohibitive for us to do that through the standard Portal APIs. We already have the users' input once in NT, we can get a flat file with all the information we need, we just need a way to get this information
into the appropriate tables within Portal's database.
Is there a script or some more "automated" way you can suggest for us to do this?

Maybe you could try to use an intermediate LDAP export file (ldif), since Active Directory is LDAP-based and you can plug a LDAP to your Portal SSO Login Server.
I only have tried exporting and importing using .ldif files up to now.
I also have heard about techniques to use NT user account info to log on to Portal ; 'could be easier.

Imposing selection fields into a screen field

Hello Frnds,
I have a FM in which I am calling a report. That report doesn't have any selection screen but it calls a user defined screen in which i have an input field PARTNER (KNA1-KUNNR).
           In my FM i have import parameter as partner same type as in the report screen field and an export parameter sy-subrc.
            Now my issue is I wanna impose the import parameter partner to the screen field in my report which is called. How could I do that?
          I am using a submit statement to call the report from the FM.
Please feel free to ask 4 more details or 4 any other questions...!
Note: I do not have standard selection screen for my report. I have to impose the FM import parameter to the screen field in the report.
Thanx in advance,
Abhi...!

hi abhi satya
Use EXPORT and IMPORT Statement
in report export the field value and in FM import those value

Default Value for a selection screen field

Hi Experts,
I am having a selection screen with a date field i am defaulting the date field to sy-datum but i also have a option of changing the date field value.
The issue is i have defaulted the date field value in PBO event,so when i change my field value in selection screen every time the defaulted value is appearing instead of my new changed value.
Plzz suggest a solution.

Hi ,
       Actualy u should set the default value at the time of selection screen, but now from the same logic try to write like
   If Date is initial.
     data = sy-datum.
    endif.
in ur PBO
Try this.

How to get full row from F4 pop up window into selection-screen fields

HI ,
I had a selection screen having 3 fields (vbeln, posnr, ebeln )

Please let me know is there any solution for this...

Hi
U should base your selection-screen on a dictionary structure whith those three fields where you assign your search help exporting all values (VBELN, POSNR and EBELN).
In this way you'll obtain what you need automatically
Else you can manage it in POV event by your selef.

F1 help for SRM portal Screen fields

HI Friends,
Is there any way find the use of particular fields which displayed in SRM Portal(Like we do in ECC by pressing F1)
Pls suggest some way to understand the purpose of all fields getting displayed in SRM portal..(like usae all fileds available in Shopping cart,PO,GC,Contract,SOC etc)
Thanks,
San

Hi Sankar
No F1 help option like that available ..you may need to go back to the BADI and depending on which structure it is which you can see in DOC_CHANGE Badi you will see the description ..of those fields
which can help you to udnerstand a bit more on what the field is about ..
Since the fields are generally self explanatory and intuitive SAP has probably not provided an option of F1` help like that in MM .

Re: Changes to screen field date was not updated

Hi,
I had a dialog screen showing a valid from date as 10.10.2007. I changed it to 15.10.2007 and click on other details tab. when I returned, it is still showing the old values.
When I did a DEBUG, upon changing and hitting enter key, the new dates for the screen field is not changed. it is still showing the old date for the screen field.
why is it so?
I think this is the cause of why the old values is still displaying. How can I get the field updated to my internal table. It need to be filled with the new values before I can updated to my internal table and then re-displayed again.
How to get the new values into the screen field?

Hi..
As i understatnd this field is in TABLE Control.
In that case you must Update the Internal table in the PAI .. Inside LOOP .. ENDLOOP.
Process After Input.
LOOP AT ITAB.
   Module Update_itab. "Calling the module
ENDLOOP.
<b>In Module pool</b>
   Module Update_itab INPUT.
    modify itab from wa index TABCON-CURRENT_LINE.
   ENDMODULE.
Note: Here WA is the work area of the Screen fields and TABCON is the Table control variable.

How to select a different country in ESS Address information

in ESS Personal Information Address iView, our employees need to be able to maintain foreign addresses and select from differenet countries in the country drop down.
We performed the IMG customization step "Personnel Management->Employee Self Services->Service Specific Settings->Own Data->Foreig Address Setting->Determine countries for foreign address and make settings." And we are using the Address iView located under the International PCD folder.
however, when we log in to ESS, the country screen field of the Address iView is read-only, employees cannot select a different country than their own. Anything I am doing wrong?
Regards,
Tiberiu.

Let me mention how this works
"Employees can maintain a foreign address using the country field on the
Edit screen. This is enabled if an employee creates a new record. When
an employee selects a foreign country in which to maintain an address,
the country-specific views (Edit view, Review view) change to correspond
to that country. If a country-specific address format does not exist for
the selected country, international address views are used.
Remark: Employees cannot change the country for an existing address!
Maintenance of foreign addresses is only allowed in case a new address
is entered or address changes are made for the same country."
Also make sure business function is enabled by SFW5 HCM_ESS_CI_1
VIEKN is availlable in Pa0003
ensure this is maintained T7XSSPERFORADD as well

How can I copy information from Excel and Paste it into a fillable field?

I have a job site quote fillable packet that I go through when quoting a new job. I also have a fullly detailed excel sheet with all sorts of pricing and data. When I am done filling out the excel sheet, the numbers all compile into a new area that is broken down by phases of the project.
On the last page of the fillable packet I have an estimate page, a spot where I can input the pricing for each phase of the project, each individual field (there are six) then totals into a fillable field on the bottom of the page.
Currently I have to select the 6 consecutive cells in excel, open up my PDF, paste the information in a text box, then manually type in each line item.
Is there a way for me to create a field that I could paste excel sheet data in? Is there a table or some way to paste each cell into one of six text fields?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

All that should be necessary is to open the ebook, highlight what you wish to copy with the cursor (hold left click, and drag to the end of the section you wish), then either right click and choose copy OR command + c on your keyboard, then move the cursor to the desired section of your Word document, and either right click and choose paste OR command + V to paste the selection.

ESS Who is Who default address

Dear Guru's
For our customer we are looking for an option to view a default address subtype in the output from Who is Who. I have two questions:
1. We use our own infoset with infotype 0006 for addresses. Our customer however uses multiple subtypes in infotype 0006. They want to show a certain subtype default in the output results without selecting this subtype using the advanced search option.
Is this possbile?
2.Also using our own infoset. The outputresults in the Iview don't seem to match with the records in te backend. For example:
infotype 0006 consist two records:
record 1:
P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent residence
P0006-STRAS = x
P0006-HSNMR = x
P0006-PSTLZ= x
P0006-ORT01 = x
record 2:
P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
P0006-ANSSA = 6 nursing address
P0006-STRAS = y
P0006-HSNMR = y
P0006-PSTLZ= y
P0006-ORT01 = y
The output in the Iview using the infoset and filling P0006-ANSSA in the advanced search option with 1 shows for example
P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent address (record 1)
P0006-STRAS = y (record 2)
P0006-HSNMR = x (record 1)
P0006-PSTLZ= x (record 1)
P0006-ORT01 = y (record 2)
Is this a problem with FM BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA ?
Help needed.

have you made your custom infoset and a query and select those fields which you need to be shown?
Note that
We can only restrict with the query which is based on the infoset.
In the case of who is who, the query is designed based on selection of
selection fields, output fields & output field list.
We can create infoset query based on subtype field of IT 6 but we cannot
restrict it to subtype.
I suggest that you use BAPI method for creating search for Who's Who .
You may need to write your own BAPI.
