ECATT: Recording "Restrict Value Range" screen for CO58

Hi,
I need to provide PI Sheet # for CO58 (Process a material). Here, I search the PI Sheet # from Process Order # when I perform this manually. But, when recording this via TCD Mode or SAPGUI mode, I am not able to record the part where PI Sheet # is searched through the "Restrict Value Range" screen through Process Order #.
How can I record this part?
OR
Is there any way to obtain PI Sheet number from PO # through some other transaction. I tried using CO60 but the values inside the table displayed there with PI Sheet # is also not getting recorded.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Punit Sethi.

Restrict Value Range

Hi,
is it possible to set the values of Restrictions (F4) programmatically. How?
Thanks.
/Elvez

Hi Srinivas,
I would like to default the selection screen to something, however, dynamically and not be setting the default value in the search help. Here is the what I would like to achieve:
1) F4 help for an additional infotype field with competence category id.
2) The F4 uses molga, begda, endda to select data.
=> Problem: How to transfer the selection parameters to F4 when they are not fields on the screen?

Prefill "Restrict value range" ?

Hello. My first posting, but after searching, I can't find any threads discussing this subject.
So:
My code is like this:
select-options: %%hyperi for ska1-saknr,
                  %%saknr for ska1-saknr.
When the users press F4 on these fields, they get the same search-help. I want to prefill this search-help so that correct "sub-sheet" is selected, and values are correct.
Is this possible?
I've tried to use
at selection-screen on value-request for %%hyperi-low
and so on..
after filling an internal table, but the funcionality isn't good enough I feel.

Hi Helge,
It is not very clear whether you just want the user to get a different "tab" of the search help for each of these fields, or whether you (also) want to fill your own values into the search-help. I shall try to explain to you both these cases.
Case 1 : You just want to display a different tab for the user for each of these fields, when he presses F4.
The search help SAKO, which is being used in this case, has around 8 different tabs from which the user can select a value. This search-help is therefore called a "Collective search-help", becauses you are providing the suer with several ways of obtaining the input help through a single search-help.
Now, let us assume that you want the user to be able to select from "G/L account number in company code" for the first field. That is to say, when he presses F4 for the first field, he should be able to see only that tab of the actual search-help.
In your program, you will ahve to code something like this:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR S_HYPERI-LOW.
call function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
      tabname    = 'SKA1'
      fieldname = 'SAKNR'
      SEARCHHELP = 'GL_ACCT_CA_NO'
    tables
      return_tab = ITAB_RETVAL.
      IF ITAB_RETVAL[] IS NOT INITIAL.
        READ TABLE ITAB_RETVAL INDEX 1.
        S_HYPERI-LOW = ITAB-RETVAL-FIELDVAL.
      ENDIF.
Here ITAB_RETVAL is the return table which contains the entry the user has selected. It is of the type DDSHRETVAL.
2. If you want to use your own values in the F4 help of the user, it is generally recommended to use the search-help exit. However, you can always programmatically control that,too. The function Module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST can be used for the same. Please go through the documentation for this Function Module - SAP has explained it better than I ever can :-).
In general, you should always try to search for the Function Modules beginning with F4IF* for any information on programming the input-help.
Hope this information has been useful.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.
P.S: In case you did not get how I obtained the search-help GL_ACCT_CA_NO for use in the above example, just go to SE11, and display the search-help SAKO. you will find a tab called "Included search helps". Just dig a little deeper into it and at the end of it, you will understand how several elementary search-helps make up the different tabs of the collective search help.

Dear Experts.
In VA05n(List Of Sales Order) T-Code, when i do press F4 for Sold-To-Party field in that i do want to add customer group for selection.

Hi Bhavesh,
It is quite simple,
1. Create an Elementary Search Help in that include all the fields you want to have in your search.
2. After doing this then Open Collective Search help DEBI from there goto tab Included Search Helps
    goto in Change Mode and put a new entry there ( this is the append search help which is being created).
3. Next double click on the newly appended search help here u will find 3 tabs:
       1. Attributes
       2. Defination - In this you enter the following two rows
Search help paramater            Data Element                                                Default Value

Hi,   search help     --   restricted value

hi
there is already a search help for a field in one of the transaction codes in fico. i think this search help is attached in code by writing match code syntax.
but my prob is that this search help for the particular field shows 10 char and out of this 10 char i need to show only 5 char from 3 to 7 when the user press f4.
eg. 1234567890 i need to show 34567 only without changing the se38 code.
when user press f4 he gets lots of records and all records should show 5 char only, now it is showing 10 char.
is it possible, if yes, then how???
pl can anybody help me.
thanx

Value range restrictions for Characterstics

Hi all,
I am not sure where should I post this message as it is related to characterstics in classification system and variant configuration, and I am aware that SD experts are the most knowledgable in those areas
My requirement is simple:
I have a characterstic (CT04) where it has values maintained in the values tab. After some time, some of the values manitained need to be either hidden or locked, so my question is
Is there such a way to do that? I have heard about (value range restrictions) functionality, but I really don't know how to use it or where to use it?
I really appreciate any help.
Regards,

I appreciate if someone could share some experience.

Restrict dictionnary Search help displayed values.

Hi,
my problem is that I have to display a search help. The search help already exists in the dictionnary and is defined using a Dictionnary Table.
I need to display the same serach help but I have to filter the results using a range of values for one of the fields and I would like to know how to proceed.
I know that user-exit exists in some search help, it's not the case here.
The kind of solutions I'm looking for is :
- directly restrict the existing search hellp values
- found a way to display a search help from abap using an internal table ( cause it's easy in this case to do fill a internal table doing the sql request myself)
- if the solutions above can't apply, doing my own search help in the dictionnary but in this case, I don't know to make this search help for values restriction.
I specify that the screen use the screen painter, it may be important ?
Thanks for your help
best Regards,
Morgan

Hi,
Search Hels exits is only for exceptions, so in our case, we won't use the search help exits, it is better create/change the Custome one and attach the same to the fiels, there you can give the Default value for the fileds, so there you can restrict the values
or else, we have an option like, APPEND SEARCH HELPS, so by using this, we can restrict some field values, this Append Search helps, can be append to Standard Search helps also, so do Append the Standard Search help and add your field and give the Default values to restrict the user
hope you get the answer

Restrict Characteristic on value range in Query Designer

Hi,
In 3.5, it was possible to restrict a filter in the query designer on a value range, even if the start- and end values of that range did not exist in the master data.
In 2004s, it is possible to restrict single value filters to a non-existing masterdata value. However, for value ranges, this does not seem to be the case. Do you know any workaround for this?
Regards,
Daniel

of course, BI 7.0 support value range for restrict.Please kindly release more information about your case .
Value Range
Instead of selecting single values you can quickly gather multiple characteristic values using this next option. This choice provides the following additional options:
1. Between
2. Greater than or equal to
3. Less than or equal to
4. Greater than
5. Less than
And you can reference following URL on this topic

Need to restrict values in F4 help for Batch Characteristic

Hi,
I need to restrict values in F4 Help for a batch characteristic based on values entered for another characteristic. I could not find any BADI or Exit for this purpose. There is a BADI CACL_VALUE which is triggered after an entry is selected from dropdown list but nothing when we press F4. I thought of using Object Dependency but I need to write a programming logic for the requirement. Please let me know if there is any way to write program in Object Dependency or any other way for this requirement.

Nikhil

Hi nikhil simha,
first of all, find out which search help is called.
[Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]
may help you.
If you know the search help, you may enhance it, but first of all you should check the where-used-list and make sure that the search help shows the requested behavior only in the context where you want it to.
If it is your own program, you may be better off to create your own search help and define the triggering fields as search help interface input fields. Then you can use the values to filter results.

Search help on a field with value range

Hi,
I have a z-table. One of its fields has a z-data element with z-domain which has a value range. I have a requirement to add a search help on selection screen field which is parameter for mentioned field of my z-table. How can I do that?
Tnx in advance,
Nati

Hi,
Where you want to add the search help, i mean in report or in screen painter.
In Screen painter, you can take the reference of Z-Data Element by Dictionary option in Screen layout.
If it is report, you can use F4 function module(F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUES) or can creat the elementary search help in DDIC and give it as MATCHCODE OBJECT in PARAMETER statement.

HR ABAP: Value Range Filtering in F4 help.

Dear Experts,
I'm using a common data element and domain used by our team for a field called "Overall Status"! The value range inside the domain for this OS is appended by each individuals, as and on based on individual requirements.
Now, i've appended 5 value range inside the existing domain's value range.
When, i call my custom infotype screen, i need only those values added by me in the f4 search help, instead of all the existing enteries in the value range?
Can anyone throw some lights for the procedure to do so?
Thanks in anticipation!
Useful solution will be definitely rewarded!

Hi experts, restricted value through F4 help

hi all
in alv grid output there is a input enabled field say xyz, this field is given f4 help by creating ztable, and when f4 is pressed on xyz field, it is fetching all the data related to that field, but the user wants restricted value with respect to company code and land1.
how to restrict the value coming in through F4 help ???
thanking u in advance
rocky

Rocky,
In CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
check the name of the USER_COMMANG.Based on User command there will be one FORM ......... ENDFORM .
In that there will be selection statement to internal table by which you are getting F4 help.Put the condition WHERE company code eq and land1 eq.
Pls. reward if useful.....

Implementing routine in DTP to restrict value

Hi ,
I want to implement a routine in DTP to restrict value 'F' or 'f' which can appear anywhere in the number of a field.
ex : "00000F389877" .
As 'F' appears at the six position in the number, there can be a possibility of 'F'/'f' appearing at any position in the number.
I went to the filter section of the DTP under extraction and tried to implement the logic but I need some help as to what exactly I should put there.
I have included the table name as '/BIC/A....' and the high and low variables for the range .
Any qucik help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Kindly also let me know if there is any alternate method to tackle this kind of problem.
Regards,
Amit

Hello,
Find below a sample code used in DTP filter to restrict date field:
form compute_/BIC/ZDATE
tables l_t_range structure rssdlrange
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
      Insert source code to current selection field
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = '/BIC/ZDATE'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
data: g_date(6) type n.
data: g_date1 type d.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZMONTH_CALC'
Exporting
     MONTHS = -17
     OLDDATE = sy-datum
Importing
     NEWDATE = g_date1.
g_date = g_date1+0(6).
clear g_date1.
concatenate g_date '01' into g_date1.
l_t_range-iobjnm = 'ZDATE'.
l_t_range-FIELDNAME = '/BIC/ZDATE'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
L_T_RANGE-OPTION = 'GE'.
l_t_range-LOW = g_date1.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.
But i feel what you want to achieve will be much more easier to achieve in start routine of the transformation.
Here you just need to loop at result package, check for the record with the number containing F/f and delete the record.
