Dilemma in having default field values

Hi all,
I have lots default values in my form page like the "creation date" field, which is set to sysdate.
My dilemma is that whenever I edit an existing record/row of a form, when updating a field, the other fields with previously "null" values will be updated by default, if the default value is set.
How do I avoid this? or it is the right behavior and logic?
Thanks

Hi,
You can also try setting the default values in the Field Group structure view.
crmc_blueprint_c -> Application elemt -> Field Group -> Field Group structure.
Give the name of the fieldgroup that you wish. (if your field group was never customized, you need to click the 'Import S-Table entries button')
in this view, you will see all the fields in your field-group. You have to then select the required field and set value in it's "default value" field.
Once done, save and re-generate the field-group. You should now see the defulat values on ur PCUI screen.
Hope this helps.

Raviraj

Set the default field value to transaction code field, when calling from WD

Hi all,
Can we pass the value in a input field of a standard transaction calling from WD application. Suppose we are calling a transaction VA03 in an external window, then how will be pass the value in the VBAK_VBELN screen field.
Is there any way to pass the value to this transaction field. I have also tried out to set the parameter ID 'AUN' for VA03 transaction VBELN field. But it did not work for me.
Is there any way to set the default field value to transaction code field, when calling from WD?
Please suggest, if anyone have any idea.
Thanks
Sanket

Hi,
I am using the below code to open a standard transaction. It will help you to explain my point more easily.
DATA: url TYPE string,
          host TYPE string,
          port TYPE string.
*Call below method to get host and port
cl_http_server=>if_http_server~get_location(
     IMPORTING host = host
            port = port ).
*create URL
CONCATENATE 'http'
'://' host ':' port
'/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/?sap-client=&~transaction=' 'VA03'
   INTO url.
*get the window manager as we are opening t code in external window.
DATA lo_window_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_manager.
DATA lo_api_component TYPE REF TO if_wd_component.
DATA lo_window TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
call the url which we created above
lo_window_manager->create_external_window(
EXPORTING
url = url
RECEIVING
window = lo_window ).
lo_window->open( ).
Note*
One more query I want to add to this thread, that is there any possibility to call a custom transaction as well?

Several content types and default field value

Hi!
I have a document library with several custom content types (derived from standard Document type). One of them (CT1) has field with default value. Other content types must not contain this field. And when I upload document, this field has no default value.
If I make CT1 first (and default) content type in a library, default value appears. Also it works when I add the field to the first content type. But in my solution CT1 must not be the first content type in a library and the field must have default value (and
other content types must not have this field). Does anybody know how to make it?

I understood why default value does not work. When we upload document to a library and then see a form with fields, it's not a newform, it's edit form. So when we upload a document, it gets first (default) content type of the library, only default fields
from this content type are filled. The solution here to fill default fields from other content types is to write itemadded event receiver.

Setting default field values for multi-line text fields in lists?

For the multiple lines of text field in a list, I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 to set a default
value for the field, but I need that default value to include rich text formatting (the default value includes a formatted table). Is this possible without having to delve into JavaScript? And if so, how?

Yes, we can :)
You can do it with powershell
$web = get-spweb <yourweb>
$list = $web.lists["<yourList>"]
$field = $list.fields["<yourField>"]
$field.DefaultValue = "place your html code here"
$field.update()
hope that helps

New record default field value: same as current

Hi, OTN
A want to set a default value of a new record field, created by ADF Form. This field is not editable and shouldn't be shown at all.
New value should be the same as current.
The form is exposing an updatable detail View object based on two entity objects (only one of them is updatable).
How is it done? Please, advice.
Thanks

You are almost right, Sireesha.
This field really is a foreign key. But VO is built on three entity objects and is linked with a MasterVO using another key.
The model is (see model screenshot in the next message):
table1 ( id_one\[pk\] ) \--* table2 ( id_one\[fk\], id_three\[fk\]) \*-- table3 ( id_three\[pk\] ) --* table4 ( id_four\[pk\], id_three\[fk\] )
Hope the model is understandable.
MasterVO is build on table1.
DetailVO is build on tables 2, 3, 4. Only table4EO is updatable.
DetailVO is linked with MasterVO through table2.id_one.
I need to insert a row into table4, using DetailVO. So when I click Create, I want table4.id_three to be the same as table3.id_three.

How to Ignore records having duplicate field value

Hi,
I have a fixed length flat file having multiple records.
Ex:
1000423421A8090
1000802421A8091
1000454421B8092
1000412421C8093
The first 2 record has A. So I have to take only one out of first two record and ignore the second one. I mean if there is any duplicate field at 11th position then I have to select only one record.
Can you please let me know how to handle this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Mukesh,
Use the following UDF to achieve the same.
getchar
char ret = Values.charAt(10);
return ""ret"";
Maptarget
//write your code here
int len = Values.length;
String char_at="";
String pos="";
for(int j=0;j<len;j++)
if(j==0){
result.addValue(Values[j]);
else
char_at= ""+ Values[j-1].charAt(10);
pos=""+Values[j].charAt(10);
if(!char_at.equals(pos))
result.addValue(Values[j]);
Mapping Logic
1. Use sort by key function
in the first parameter map - Source -UDF(getchar)
in the second parameter map -Source
2.Map the output of sortbykey to UDF(Maptarget)
3.Finally Map the o/p of UDF to target.
I checked it, its working as per your reqmt.
If you have any doubts reply me I'll help you out.
Note: In UDF(MapTarget) use Queue
Best Regards,
Raj.

Building repositories - need ECC default field values

For building MDM repositories - Vendor, Customer and Product in SAP MDM, I need default values of SAP ECC fields like -
Payment Term - Table T052
Warehouse Type -
Purchasing Group - T024
Customer Type (Account Group) - Table T077Y
Customer Industry Type - INDUSTYPE
Customer Industry Code - TBRCT
Product Category - Table MARA
Product Type - Table MARA
Product Grade - Table MARA
Product Package - Table MARA
Product Unit of Measure - Table MARA
Can someone update the default values of these tables?

Hi Sam,
Field name->Table>Referance Table--->Default Value
Payment Term--->T052->None--->None
Warehouse Type--->MLGN->T307--->Yes
Purchasing Group--->T024->None--->None
Account Group--->T077Y->None--->None
Industry Type--->INDUSTYPE->None--->None
Industry Code--->TBRCT->TBRC--->Yes
Material Type--->MARA->T134--->Yes
Note : Take help of functional person who can guide you proper way regarding who's default value are populating at ECC sceen which dependent on configuration setting or ABAP programming and not on referance table so according to buisness demands you need to set default value to mdm even if there in no referance table or default value in ECC

Head Scratcher - Default Field Values

have an issue that is truly a head scratcher and I could use a little help.
I created a number of fields - client name, client email, account manager etc. Most are just Unicode a couple are integer and one is a date. For two of them Client Name and Account Manager which I'm going have a lookup attached I enter a default value. Choose Client and Choose Account Manager.
For two of the fields (client name and account manager) I created lookups with a list of clients and the other with a list of account managers.
I then created a new group added all of the custom fields. For the two fields I want lookups on I select them in the group window and attach the lookups that I've previously created. I continue with where the group appears, attach it to a set etc and then save changes.
So everything is perfect I can see the group within the set but for the two lookups I don't have a default value just a blank pull down window. What's the deal. Is there a syntax I'm missing for entering the default value for the field? Do I also need to enter the default value in the lookup so they match?

actually the issue was with putting the default value in the lookup. That worked. I get what your saying though, however its really six of one half dozen of another. I created the fields first so editing the field in the lookup pulldown I didn't actually have the correct lookup values.
By creating the field and then lookup and then linking them up in the group it worked just fine. But after I read your post I created the lookup first and then attached it while creating a field and didn't attach it while creating the group and got the same result.

How to default field values based on a sql query?

I have a create form that has employee_id and supervisor_id fields. I am defaulting the employee_id based on the login info (no problem there). Now I want to default the supervisor_id also. Supervisor id is based on a sql query that takes the employee_id as a parameter for the where clause.
How do I implement this in jDeveloper?

I figured how to do this. I created a new EO, associated it to my base EO via association. Then put this code in the base EO's create() method:
// Set supervisor id based on SupervisorEO
SupervisorEOImpl supEO = getSupervisorEO();
Number newSupId = supEO.getSupervisorId();
setSupervisorId(newSupId);
This seems to be the simplest.

Account external unique id default field value

Hi everyone,
I am not so experienced in writing expressions so if anyone has created an expression to use when new accounts are created in the system to autopopulate the Integration ID into the External Unique ID field then kindly share.
I have tried
[<ExternalSystemId>] = [<IntegrationId>]
[<ExternalSystemId>] = IntegrationId()
Thanks,
Søren

[<IntegrationId>]
This should work.

Adding field values together using Advanced Field Management

Hi All
I have 5 currency fields on the Revenue page, that I need to add together into one field, Total Amount (currency field also). I have made Total Amount field read only, and using adv field mgt set the following default and ticked post default:
[<Revenue>]=[<cCorporate_Income_ITAG>]+[<cDonation_Income_ITAG>]+[<cFlower_Income_ITAG>]+[<cHost_ITAG>]+[<cMerchandise_Income_ITAG>]
It does not seem to work, is this possible at all or am I not doing something right.
Help....

I'm having a very similar issue. I'm trying to do the calculation as a default field value and receive the following error:
[1] An error occurred calculating the default value for field 'ZCur_5' in business component 'Revenue'.(SBL-DAT-00412) [2] Could not evaluate expression 'Expr: '=[<cMetal_Rate_ITAG>]*[<nQuoted_Weight_ITAG>]*[<nDross_Factor_ITAG>]'' for field 'ZCur_5' in business component 'Revenue'.(SBL-DAT-00394) [3] Generic SSA NOTOK error message.(SBL-DAT-00472)
I can make the update work via workflow, but this does not help during the initial creation of the record.
Any ideas?

To have a field value in FileName

Hi All,
I am doing an IDOC to XML File scenario.
My requirement is to create multiple files at the target with the Filename having a field Value in it.
In the mapping i will be using RFC calls which will return multiple records and if my RFC returns 3 records, i will need to create 3 Files at the target. which will have the filename taken from a value returned from the RFC.
I tried using Dynamic configuration, since it uses PUT method i got the same name repeated again since it cannot be used for multiple targets.
I tried using variable substitution also, since my target is an XML i will end up in creating an extra node if mapped and i need the filename having timestamp in a desired format.
Could anyone help me in this.
Waiting for your reply
Regards,
Sherin Jose P

Hi,
You can use the 1:n mapping here. Now depending on the number of records returned by RFC, you can create those many nodes. In your case, what you could do, add a field in the target structure at the root level, set the file name in this field. Then in the file adapter, use an adapter module to set the file name in the dynamic configuration, and then delete this node from the XML in the same module. This should solve the purpose.
Thanks and Regards,

How to Change the default Search value for Field Role?

HI,
I went through numerous threads on how to default the search value , but does not help for my issue. Hence im posting this new thread. Please provide your suggestions on how to achieve this.
For the Ship-to party field (in item detail ) on webui when i do a F4 help i get the pop up with various search criteria and for the field Role the default value is "Ship-to party". which is visible. we need to change this default value to Prospect which is available in drop down.
The attribute is STRUCT.ROLE and view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/SearchHelp . The method GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS from the context node class is called to fill the value help for this attribute, but i dont understand how the ship-to party is filled as default. There is no code in this method to default the value.
The generic GET_V_S_STRUCT method also does not default the Ship-to party on this field.
I want to understand how this Ship-to party is filled by default and how can i change this to prospect..
Many Thanks,
Shaik

We had a same requirement of defaulting Sales org and division in search criteria for a specific value.
this can be doen by redefining "DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT" method in IMPL class for the respective view.
See the code:
METHOD do_prepare_output.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT
** EXPORTING
**    iv_first_time = ABAP_FALSE
DATA:
    lr_qs TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service.
* Get current query object
lr_qs ?= me->typed_context->search->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF iv_first_time = abap_true.
    lr_qs->clear_selection_param_values( ).
    lr_qs->delete_empty_selection_params( ).
*   if l_sales_orgs is initial.
    CALL METHOD lr_qs->insert_selection_param
      EXPORTING
        iv_index     = '1'
        iv_attr_name = 'SALES_ORG'
        iv_sign      = ' '
        iv_option    = 'EQ'
        iv_low       = 'O 50000514'.
*   endif.
*   if l_dist_chan is initial.
    CALL METHOD lr_qs->insert_selection_param
      EXPORTING
        iv_index     = '2'
        iv_attr_name = 'DISTR_CHAN'
        iv_sign      = ' '
        iv_option    = 'EQ'
        iv_low       = '01'.
* endif.
Hope this will help..
