Get description of tables and columns

Good afternoon.
Is there any option in SAP B1 to get a description of table and column dynamically? That is, without the "Tools -> Queries -> Query Generator"?
I am developing an add-on, which lists all the tables and columns of the sap, and I have to bring the descriptions automatically. If you do not have to get the SDK route descriptions, as you suggest doing this?
Edited by: Harley Rodrigues on Feb 1, 2012 9:38 PM

Hi Harley,
Welcome to the Forum!
please refer to your SDK Help. you can find it from this path C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Help
also alternatively you can view it from your MS SQL Server Management under Databases

Modifying Short Description In Table Definition

How Do Everyone!
I have managed to add a new field on the infotype 0006
screen (Addresses). The new field has been defined as
char 1. The short desciption on the table PA0006 for this
field as somehow been set to 'Single-character flag'.
I can't seem to naviagte to the description property. It
is all greyed out.
Can someone tell me how can I chnage this ???
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
When you add an new field to the existing table, you have to create a data element. In the description for that data element, you can give whatever description you want.

Cost fileds description of table in KEPH

Dear All,
I am developing a query with table KEKO and KEPH for the material cost estimate. I need to run for several materials. CK13N is can be used for only one material.
I am getting Cost estimate No from the table KEKO and passing the value to KEPH for the cost values. but in KEPH table there are 40 cost fields are there from KST001 to KST040.
I need which cost filed is for which category like Purchases, Surchages,direct labour etc.... It would be great if anyone give us the details regarding the same.
Please let me know for any clarification. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raja.A

Hi,
Based on your cost component strcuture , while running the KSPI ( Activity price calculation ) system allign the cost fields of KEPH table.
Depending on your cost component setting - say you have ticked fixed and variable both then - two field in KEPH get alligned with that cost component - One for total cost and other for fixed cost. This is why if you notice there are 40 cost field in KEPH and in cost component structure maximum you can have 20 cost component.
But allignement of KEPH table field to Cost component get restructured dynamically if you change your cost component sructure and do the KSPI.
If you want to see your existing allignment , if in all your cost component allows fixed and variable , then straight away you can assume cost field 1 and cost field 2 for your first cost component .. and cost feild 3 and cost field 4 for your second cost component. Cost field 1 for total of that cost component and cost field 2 for fixed cost of that cost component.
I hope this explain you the structure. Please let me know if you need more information.
Regards

Which table stored description for field name

hi,
for example,
field name is LIFNR , description (vendor number),
which table stored this description (vendor number) for that field name(LIFNR) ?

1. From table DD03L, give your tablename and get all of its field names and corresponding data element names.
2. From table DD03T, get the description of each data element you have got in step 1.
3. Then Use Function Module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET
DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES
DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES
DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.
Check the below link for more information.

Is there a way to have the description field in a calendar list item to support enhanced rich text?

We have a user who has a few hundred calendar items created in outlook. If you open the calendar item, the description includes tables with borders, shading, etc. It seems that the description field in Sharepoint calendars only support basic rich text,
so if I copy the items from the user's calendar to the sharepoint calendar, the formatting is lost. Is there any way to create a custom calendar with enhanced rich text for the description field?

This is a workaround that is working for us. I created a new column "Event Description", selected "Plain Text" and then created a basic workflow that updated Description from Event Description. #160 is no longer showing.
Please be aware that the trick to this is that you must write everything in a string. In other words, don't use the Enter key.
In my case it was worth it as we couldn't rebuild and the user needed a valid and quick fix.

Table for fields

im developing an invoice.in that i have to display packaging material for a particular material.i have the info from cs01 tcode.in the second screen,material&it's components will be entered.
material,
component(field-idnrk):this particular number tells that this is a packaging material.
component decsription:here some description will be there .based on the number in component we will come to know that this is a packaging material .
in our case 400040 is assigned to packaging material.please tell me the tables in which material(matnr)&its packaging material is stored. i tried in stko(Bom header)& stpo(Bom item) tables but im unable to get material info from them though i have IDNRK & it's description.im panning to write the code like this:
select (packaging material description) from 'table' into 'itab' where matnr = 'material no' and idnrk = 400040.

Simply you can use FM to get all the information -
CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2
or you can use MAST ,STKO and STPO Table

How to get description from the field name

Hello fellow SAP Fanatics,
I am trying to find an easy way to get the description of a field if I know the technical name. I know I can view them in tables but is there one place where I can just look up the field and get the description?
Thanks.

Hello
For all the tables, descriptions and fields you can refer to these tables:
DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES
DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES
DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.
Moreover you can always goto the menu on the selection screen of the table and goto Settings > User Parameters > Key word > Field name / label
Hope this helps
