Displaying Description for SAP Table Field in the View

Hi
We are working on a HANA implementation Project Where we have a requirement to build View on HR tables.
Issue: When i join HR infotypes (tables ) in the view it is getting only Technical names and not descriptions. i have used Semantics option which is available and still it doesn't bring description in to the View.
Please let me know if any one has solution or work around for this.
We have more than 100 fields in the View so maintaining Descriptions manully will take lot of time.
Regards
Venkat

Hi Chandra
Yes, We have Description available in the sourece tables.
We are connected to HANA Suite and tables in ECC having Descriptions.

Which table field stored the exchange rate for controlling documents?

Hi,
May i know which table field stores the exchange rate used for a controlling document?

Hi,
The exchange rate is not specifically stored in CO. In table COEP, the data in transaction currency, object currency and controlling Area currency is stored. You can derive the exchange rate from here.

Creating a new Search Help on a standard SAP table field?

Good day, everyone!
As part of a report I am writing, the customer would like to have Search Help added to the AUFEX field in table AUFK. They would like this functionality so that when they are changing an order via t-code ko02, they can get a list of valid values to put in field AUFEX. I would like to tie it to a zTable I've created; in my zTable, I have just 2 fields: a key value (that will go into AUFEX) and a text description of the key value. This zTable is used in my report.
While I've created a Search Help on this table already for table maintenance, I've never added a custom Search Help to an existing standard SAP table field before. I've done some Googling and other searching to see what I need to know, but I've only been able to find information on Collective Search Helps. AUFEX doesn't yet have a Search Help field, so I don't think Collective Search Helps is my answer.
Is this possible? Can I add a custom Search Help to a standard SAP table field that doesn't have any Search Help linked to it yet? Is there an existing thread or guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
Thank you!

Hi
Yes u can: u can assign the search help to (A) data element livel or (B) field table livel.
After creating your search help:
A) Run SE11, insert your data element (AUFEX), press edit and insert the search help in "Search Help" area on DEFINATION tab;
B) Run SE11, insert your table (AUFK), press edit, place the cursor on your field (AUFEX) and go to GoTo->Search help->for field
But u should consider it'll mean to change a standard object for both cases: so u need to get the access key from your OSS.

F4 help for ALV table field

Hi Experts,
I need to implement F4 help for ALV table field.
I my scenario, I am using two views. If we click on any record in fist view then it displays the popup window (second view) with relevant record details.
Here one of the columns having fieldnames corresponding values (old values), for correcting old values I have created new value editable column, we can enter new value for old value then we can save it. Till this functionality is ok.
Then I have included OVS help for new value field. Here I need to get f4 help for newvalue field relevant to fieldname.
For example: user clicks on f4 in cell (new value) then if corresponding fieldname is u2018WERKSu2019 then it shows the plant values
Here I can get fieldname, domain name and value table using method set_attribute ().
Same concept I have implemented in ALV using F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. It is working fine
Here I have little bit confusion. Please advise me how to implement in OVS.

Hi,
you'll have to create a method for the OVS search help (define it in the "OVS component usage" field in the context).

add fields for the selection list here

How to maintain default values for custom table fields -- Urgent

Hi all,
I've a requirement wherein i need to create a Z table (with maintainence view) in which i'll have date and time as two of its field which should have current date and current time as default value. Can somebody suggest as how am i to maintain the date and time fields defaulting to current date and current time.
Incase if someone is unable to intrepret what i'm trying to say, please query me, i'll elaborate it further.
Please give in your quick inputs which is highly valuable to me and also will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

We have a following custom table which contains the fields Date on which record was created and Name of the person who created the object. We would like to have these to be filled up with SY-DATUM and SY-UNAME respectively.
Using the events, we can achieve this.
Please refer the following link:
http://abapliveinfo.blogspot.com/2007/12/events-in-table-maintenance-in-sap.html
Also,
Write a form routine in table maintanance generator.
1. SE11 > utilities > table maintenance generator
2. environment > modification > event
define the event and form routine to make use of the tigger. in the form routine define an object for the class and call the relevant method.
Or u can do it as:
Table maintenance generator is basically used to do table operations like (insert, delete, modify...).
if you create table maintenance for your table it will build a module pool program, by using you do the above operations.
below is the procedure to create table maintenance generator.
1) Create one function group.
2) after activating your Ztable, choose 'Utilities'----> 'Table maintenance genrator'.
3) then give the authorization group and function group created abobe in the next screen.
4) Then choose the "create" button in your application tool bar, which will creates the module pool program.
5) then create one Tcode by chosing "Transaction with parameters( parameter transaction)".
6) in transaction field give "SM30", select the check box "Skip initial screen".
7) in the below of that screen you can find the "Default values" frame.
8) there under the "name of screen field" select the "View name' and 'update".
9) in value column against to "view name" give you table name, and against to "Update" put 'X' in capital letters.
save it then you can straight away use this newly created Tcode to maintain your table.
Note:- 1) make the modification while saving the data into your table using this newly generated program to carry out your validation (even though it looks like standard program; no need to enter the access key).
2) if you do any changes to your table and press the activate button automatically the table maintenace generator will be goes off, you need to create this again.

Is there any standard SAP table which stores the license number assigned to a delivery item

Hi Experts,
This is in relation to license number assigned to a delivery item under ‘Export License Log’. Our scenario is for delivery of type NLCC created for an inter-company stock transport order. (i.e.not a sales order case where the license may get copied from sales order to delivery through copy control)
As we understand, for legal control – relevant scenarios, export license for each item shall be determined afresh every time the delivery is accessed. (Depending on legal regulation, grouping, destination country, export control class, delivery partners vis-à-vis license master customer assignments etc.)
To print the license text on one of the delivery output types, we want to access the license number for each item. (determined under export license log)
Our question is: is there any standard SAP table which stores the license number assigned to a delivery item?
We have checked some of the license tables (T606*, VAEX, EMXX etc.) but couldn’t get any specific table storing delivery-item-specific license data.

Dont add such text in your post

Hi Lakshmipathi,
The export control log can be accessed by going to delivery Extras-> Export license log
We need a table that stores the determined license for each item in a delivery document ( as shown in the below screenshot)

How to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database

Can some one give the code of how to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database
Am really new to java programming and have interest in learning

The standard JDK doesn't do this for you. If you search on Google, you may find some 3rd party packages that will do this.
You need to create your own form add execute the appropriate SQL yourself. Read the tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]JDBC Database Access to get started.

IDoc field and SAP Table field

I want to find out which SAP table field is populating the given IDoc segment without getting into ABAP code? Do we have something like "Where-used" list? On the reverse side, If I want to know which SAP Table field the incoming IDoc segement is posting to, how do I do that? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is very difficult without going into the ABAP code. Some time it is easy like if you see IDOC MATMAS05
Segment E1MARAM = MARA
Segment E1MAKTM = MAKT
Segment E1MARCM = MARC
etc.... also you can judge from the name of a segment.
Thanks,

Not able to display the values in the input fields of the view

Hi All.
I am facing an unique issue.
My custom element created in my custom node getting a null value
from a Get Vendor Details RFC written in RFC.
The values are getting populated in the custom element but not coming in the
input field of the corresponding view.
Then, I wrote this code
wdContext.nodeCustom.setLeadSelection(1);
and all the output came in the input field.
Now, after a build it is not coming in the input fields of the view.
All my custom nodes are Singleton and values are coming in the custom elements
as I can print them by wdComponentApi.getMessageManager.reportSuccess(""+customnode.getField());
All my nodes are Singleton.
Please give your valuable inputs.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi
Check the node property
initializeLeadSelection true
if not make it true , I would suggest to make a value node of the same structure as in RFC after execuation of the RFC populate the value manually.Dont bind it directly to the UI element.
