How to add a new column in a standard transaction mb5b

Hi,
In t-code mb5b, there are columns which describe the material description, material , opening stock , opening value, etc. I have to add a column with the field name "opening rate". Values for opening rate are calculated using the formula
opening rate = opening value / opening stock.Please help.

Hi
if you want to add a new Column in the Standard transaction you need to create a copy of program RM07MLBD. Add your field in the end of STYPE_BELEGE, Populate the text for field in FieldCat and in the end Populate the value by doing calculation on each row and modifying the table.

Define column width using a variable

Hi All,
Is there a way to define the width of a specific column using a variable in an rtf template?
I have a requirement that one column should fit it's (largest) content. Now my idea is to replace the static width in points with a variable, but seems to be impossible in MS Word.
I've already tried to use split-column-width but then I also have to use split-column-header etc. which seems a bit excessive.
Is there a way to do this nice and tidy?
Kind regards,
Machiel

The script linked in this thread

can copy column widths; storing and retrieving them from a table style. The style won't apply the widths directly, but I have found it very useful.

How do I set column widths in read/write rules?

Hello structure experts,
I am reading a set of DITA files into a specific FM template format, and there is one detail I cannot get to work properly. It should be possible to define column widths in a table, even if the DITA file does not include that information. But the Structure Application Developer Reference does not give the information on which string to pass to the column widths fm property. Does anyone out there have experience in doing this ?
Thanks
Jang

Got it !!!
Turned out to be simple, but the info was more or less hidden in the Dev Ref Guide: I had already put the "fm property column widths is value " line in but did not know the syntax for the values. Turns out you need to delimit the values by spaces, not commas. The parser does not give ANY useful information about this, just mentions 'syntax error near somewhere' or completely ignores the values you specify.
This is how the rule for my DITA properties element now works out:
element "properties" {
is fm table element;
fm property columns value is "3";
fm property column widths value is "5cm 5cm 6cm";
It works. I earn 10 points for answering my own question. :-)

Sap r/3 rel 4.6c - F-03 Process open Items; standard output; column width

Hello All:
I use SAP R/3 Release 4.6C. I am learning how to use the F-03 Clear G/L Account function. On the front page of F-03 you enter the account number and then click process open items.
The output comes on the screen in the "standard" tab. In this tab you may start to clear your items.
My question: How do you change the width of these columns? I know you can change the column width by moving the column margin with the mouse. I want to know how to change the column width permanently - make the column a "fixed" width that will not change unless I change it.
thx

First adjust all the columns as you prefer, then click on the table settings,configuration icon on the right top. Give a name in the variant and click save. Tick the check-box Use as standard setting.

Does BAPI call the validations defined for standard transactions ?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me if BAPI handles the validations defined for standard transactions ? I have a standard transaction KB15N. Validation defined for a field works fine when run thorugh the transaction. But if same data is updated using BAPI , validations are not getting called and wrong data is updated in the system.
Could you please confirm if BAPI handles validations ? If yes, how to take care of it ?
Best Regards,
V joshi

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have following condition in the prerequsite of validation
Prerequsite : Transaction code = 'KB15N'
check : Sr cost element > '90000000' AND Sr cost element < '9ZZZZZZZ'
I am using BAPI 'BAPI_ACC_MANUAL_ALLOC_POST' for posting.
Do i need to modify the pre-requisite condition ? Kindly guide.

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

Interactive Report Column Width adjustable?

I am using the interactive reports in 3.1.2 and love them. That said, I have a question/problem. I have a column in my report that is essentially comments. It often contains hundreds of bytes of text per row of data. When I use the interactive report I find no where that I can define a default column width or number of report rows to display. So, when I run the report, the column with the comments defaults to a column width of about 25 characters and this causes it to display many html rows for this report row and makes the report very ugly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to redefine a column in an interactive report to prevent this?

Scott,
Using FOP.
Standard reports PDF can resize columns.
Interactive report does not. Additionally, the page size does not work the same as the regular reports. Moving between landscape and portrait changes the size of the height and width.
I assume there are several problems.
1. The report does not resize horizontally. I will have to create a second report to see if I can duplicate the issue.
2. The Print page of the report region does not have the same fields as the regular reports. I am not sure why or how to overcome the lack of being able to resize columns, etc.
3. The functionality on the page does not seem to all work. At least not the same way as the regular reports. Changing paper size and orientation are two examples I have verified.
4. Can't select a template. How can a different XSL-FO template be used?
I am going to try and push it to Word.

Interactive Report - download to PDF, fixed column widths-- why

We are using 4.1.1.00.23, we have just installed the Apache/FOP solution to download our Interactive Reports to PDF.
The issue is that it seems that no matter what we do the column widths become evenly distributed in the downloaded report. When the report only has 5-8 columns this is ok, doesn't look as good as we would like but it is ok. The problem comes when we have many columns, then all of the columns get shrunk down to these little columns that become totally useless.
Also, it appears that no matter what page size I define in the Page Attributes it sizes the columns to fit on an standard page (8.5x11).
The question I guess is: Is there a way to download an Interactive Report to PDF, that looks exactly like the report that is displayed for the Interactive Report?
We have been looking at lots of the documentation and fear we are missing something because it appears that most solutions talk about creating a "Shared Component" Report Query and Report Layout, which when you have a hundred interactive reports seems crazy....why can't we just download what we see on the screen.
If there was a way to put Headers/Footers on HTML download, then we would not need to do this, but I have not found a way to do that either.

From our understanding, it looks like we would have to create another report for each of our existing Interactive Reports, which would be a JasperReport or something.
We know there is something with the XSL-FO templates, is that what iReports can do for us? Really this is a new world for me, so I do fear that I might be asking my question wrong.
Like I said maybe we are missing something. We were able to get the FOP to work, but the problem with that is all of the columns are evenly distributed widths. On some reports, which have many columns, there could be a name column that needs to display 50 characters, but then the next field only has 5 characters. It appears that without creating an additional report or report layout for each report we cannot print the results of the interactive report.
Maybe I am completely missing something in all of this, but I find it hard to believe that we have to create multiple versions of a report just to be able to print it. If we had just wanted to create a static report, then I would have continued using Oracle Reports, like we have for the last 20yrs.

Reports 6i default column widths

Reports 6i does not appear to pull the correct column width for varchar2 columns when building reports through the wizard. It sets them to 10 regardless of the length.
Is there a way to either always define a specific database column to a specific width in reports or to get reports to size the column correctly through the wizard?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer Jay! I tried the latter approach and it didn't work.
Given my limited understanding of CSS I first researched what the # signifies and found that it precedes a value from an ID attribute of an element. Which makes sense because this override would need to know specifically what to adjust.
Next I scanned the source and couldn't find an ID of portletColumnFormatter_0 the closest thing I found was a summary field (summary="Portlet column formatter table.").
Edit: Hmmm...
A quick scan of portal.bea.com shows that ID does in fact exist there but it appears that site is on version 6.5.0
Was this ID value missing in an earlier install version perhaps?
Edit: Aha!
Yet a few moments later I realized my err...our dev environment is still on 6.1.0 which, if memory serves, was missing this key attribute!
It appears my first priority should be to syncrhonize our two environments and THEN worry about customizations.
Thanks again for the help, I'll refer back to this as soon as I'm upgraded:)

How to add function key to a menu exit in a standard transaction

Hi all,
I have a requirement to add a function key for a menu item in a standard transaction.
In Menu bar we have an option Extras->Other->Repricing . Now my requirement is if i click a function key (ex. F9) the code under the menu exit (Repricing) should trigger. For that i had a function exit EXIT_SAPLJHPA_011 and in this the menu exit SAPLJHPA +CU7 is defined.could anyone suggest me the procedure in detail to add a function key..
Thanks in advance,
Uday.

Hi
for this u have to edit standard PF-status, that particular transaction is using. becarefull as the same pf-status may be used for many programs.
get the PF-status for that program. you can get the pf-status via se80, give the program name and u can get the the list of all the objects of that prigram, there you can edit the standard status and can add the function key to your menu item.

How to add custom authorization object to a SAP standard transaction

Hi All,
I have a standard tcode IW22 (change PM Notification) and I would lock changing when some users modify the field Functional Location (field TPLNR).
Since this field does not have an authorization object associated, I've tried to solve this problem with the following steps:
- tcode SU20 - creation of new authorization field TPLNR with data element TPLNR
- tcode SU21 - creation of a new auth object in transaction SU21 with name ZPM and field (TPLNR, ACTVT and TCOD)
- tcode SU24 - insert of new authorization field e check indicator (green)
- tcode SU22 - check indicator - check (green)
After this we have created a new role with PFCG and add transaction IW22; the new auth.ZPM was added manually.
We have try to analyze log (ST01 trace) but it seems no check was made in the trace file.
It seems new authorization object was not checked.
My question is: "Is it possible to add a custom authorization object into standard transaction and implementing authorization check without writing abap code in exit or badi ?"
Thanks
Maurizio

> My question is: "Is it possible to add a custom authorization object into standard transaction and implementing authorization check without writing abap code in exit or badi ?"
>
No .. not possible. The list of Auth. objects SAP proposed in SU24 for each Stnd. SAP TCodes are basically documentation of the Authority-Checks in the program for that TCode. The extra advantage of SU24 is to set the object status (means the proposal for availability in PFCG) among any of the four check indicators. So that we can provide our own value (customer specific values which are basically defined and separate from sap provided values) and reinforce the authorization concept of the organization.
So you need to provide a Authority-Check for ZPM in the program of IW22 to make sure that the fields you want to be checked are really being checked during execution of the tcode.

Dipanjan

How to stop table columns widths from drifting

I discovered that all the columns widths of my tables change on their own,
leading me with tables of different columns widths where I wanted to
maintain a strong cohesion of presentation among them.
Here is a scenario to reproduce and understand the problem:
• create a new Pages'08 document;
• insert a Table;
the 3 columns of this newly created table are 5.49 cm width each.
Problematic case:
• change the first column width with:<pre> Table > Table > Column Width > 5 cm</pre> and hit return
• the column width will switch to 5.01 cm
• the 2 other columns widths will have switched to 5.50 cm.
Is there a technique, I didn't find yet, to define a table column to a
fixed value so that Pages'08 won't make it drift and wont touch to
other columns width?
