Flexible field

Hi every body,
I want to know if I can create a new flexible field on each form
For example: on invoice form, I want to create a invoice number according to my country's tax policy that the field does not exist in SAP system.
Please tell me how to create a flexible field, if any
Thank in advance
Minh

Hi Fan,
I created a list of value named as "Brand_Name" and allow users to select the list of value. Is there existing function to allow user to select and allow users to type the brand name in case it is not in the list of value?If you are using DFF on the values in LOV can be choose or entered. You can add additional values in LOV in case any other value need to be choosen.
Thanks,
Anchorage :)

Creating flexible fields in forms 6i

HI,I am using forms 6i and patch 6.I have to display the results of my query in the flexible grid cells like we have in VB or Access which can be increased or decreased in width at runtime.Please help me how to create these flex fileds in forms 6i.
Thank you.

Hi,
unfortunately there exists no Forms widget that can do this. In client-server, you can mimic this by some PL/SQL code and the mouse-move trigger. However, I wouldn't recommend this because it will not work on the Web.

ICal "all day events" separator bar

Is it possible to adjust the "all day events" separator bar in iCal in the Daily or Weekly view. When you have more than 6 all day events on one day a scroll bar appears, and it's not possible to view all of the all day events at once. I know that this sounds like nit-picking, but I've developed a work-flow where I would like to look at all of the informaiton at once without extra clicks or scrolls, or to glance at the information without having to bring the application to the surface, or make it the active application.
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the separator bar to allow the user to see more then 6 all day events in the weekly or daily iCal views
Another ideal solution would be additions to the View or the Preference options that would allow the user to view all of the "all day events" and have the separator bar automatically adjust.
thanks,

I agree with you... this used to be a flexible field and would handle infinate "all day" events. To answer your question... no, you cannot adjust this field. I too use this for business and really need to view all the "all day" events. I've been forced to use the daily view and put a date notation in the "location" field to know when the event ends. It's the only way to see everything.
I found a nice little calendar program SaiSuke but Apple doesn't play well with others. You can enter into the iCal or iCloud calendar program and it will seemlessly appear through iCloud into the SaiSuke calendar. But Apple will not release the information allowing SaiSuke to talk back to iCloud.
Basically what I'm saying is it's a one way conversation between SaiSuke & iCloud, it can bring data in but not return data back. So if you enter a new event in SaiSuke it will not be anywhere other than the iPhone or iPad you entered it on, it cannot make it back to iCloud without plugging your phone in and doing a manual Sync. Of course this process will produce duplicate events.
So unless someone out there has more knowledge ... and you want to have your events be the same on multiple platforms (phone, pad & desktop) we are stuck with using their iCal product. Apple calls this progress.

Need info on New Gl for a fresh implememtation

Hello,
Kindly give your inputs on the new gl functionality for a fresh implementation. Please provide some documentation or pros and cons of it.
This is the senario, only one plant is being implemented for the time being, what is the possiblity of implementing the new gl at a later stage . If we activate the new gl can it be deactivated or if we activate can and not decide to use it and only uuse the regulat GL is that ok.
kindly provide your inputs as it is urgent and have to give my suggestions soon to the client.
points will be awarder generously.
thanks.

Ashwin,
Here are my thoughts on the new GL.
1) Parallel Accounting - This feature allows for much more seemless implementation of multiple GAAP accounting. Previously you'd have to mess around with having accounts that are specific to different GAAPs, creating FI validations to ensure the entries balanced, and complicated reporting structures to make sure you had the proper reporting. The only other solutions were special purpose ledgers which may have helped to separate transactions for reporting, but did nothing to simplify the chart of accounts issues. If you are a multinational company, and will have different GAAPs, it is essential.
2) Profit Center Integration - With the new GL, Profit Center Accounting is an integrated element of the reporting ledgers. No need for a fully independent PCA implementation.
3) Extended Coding Block - Better support for adding customer defined fields to the coding block and having full transaction processing and reporting support. No need to implement the SPL unless you are doing some truly complicated manipulations to posted data such that you need user exits on flexible field movements.
4) SAP Stated Direction - This is where SAP is going and they aren't looking back. If this is a fresh implementation you should consider starting out in this manner instead of performing the transition at a later date. There are different transaction codes for the New GL than from the old GL, different reporting tables for the RW/RP, etc.
5) Document Splitting - If you need documents to split automatically for various attributes, e.g. profit centers, business areas, other custom defined fields, this is the only effective way to perform this.
I can't answer to the going back/forth between the two, e.g. classic versus new GL, but don't see why you would be absolutely in error with going new GL. I'd have a different opinion, but unlikely, if you were already live on the classic GL and you were contemplating going through the conversion.
I hope this was what you were looking for. Some points would be nice if so, please.

Kyle

How to reimport a changed Interface / Message Type to NW BPM

Hi,
I m developing a NW BPM process (NWDS SP 09) to be used with SAP PO 7.31.
The process is using 15 different imported Interfaces, all of them depending on an External Definition, which unfortunately need to be changed. In PI so far no pretty easy, adapting some mappings, no problem.
But how can i update the process?
Just importing an existing Interface again leads to error message:
Could not import WSDL document:
Could not import WSDL document:
Cannot change XsdSimpleTypeDefinitionWrapper {http://www.namespaceDef.com}
LocationIdent by importing the document http://www.namespaceDef.com/::src/wsdl/SI_OUT_ASYNC_Interface01.wsdl,
because it is already defined in the document in this project.
Importing into another project might be possible
SI_OUT_ASYNC_Interface01.wsdl
/LocalDevelopment~bpm_product~pr~pm~company.com/src/wsdl
Unknown Document Import Marker
Unknown Document Import Marker
Is it possible. that i have to start from the scratch?

Hi Moritz,
did i solve it?
No, not properly. I'm going to handle it...
Reimport of a changed own created Message Type works. Reimport of External Definitions does not work. Not nice - during a project it is very common that someone wants to have the data structure changed. And then you have a little problem. How can you recommend a tool what is not able to handle such simple change requests?
So what i did: I created a kind of a "neutral" message type, only used in BPM. I guessed which fields might become important in the future inside BPM for conditions and added 3 "flexible" fields. Plus one field, where i serialized the whole message (using the CDATA expression). Inside BPM i can react on requirements having the values of my fields accessable, but the message itself is serialized into one field value. If there is a requirement from the project to change the Message Type i just need to adapt my mapping from source to BPM. BPM to target is just deserializing and in a second step doing the normal mapping.
The whole solution is a bit complex and self made, but working. Of course i cant start from the scratch for each change.

To boot camp or not to boot camp

I have an older Macbookpro with a 200GB hd (I thought I had 160GB, but it's showing 199.71), with 150 GB currently free. I just upgraded to snoleopard, wiped my internal HD clean, loaded fcstudio2, and have massive backup available so I don't clutter this machine.
My intent is to make this older laptop the field tool for data wrangling; loading and transferring HD video from P2 CARDS, CF cards, etc. I know one person in particular that will want big video files transferred onto his PC formatted drives. I will either need a pc laptop for that, or I'll need to boot camp this macbookpro. I'd prefer to bootcamp it for simplicity sake, but I worry that my machine is old, and I need superior performance in the field with what I have, and I don't want to bog this laptop any more than it already is. Currently, QT is having a real hard time with my HD H.264 files- they stutter so much in QT that I can't check the files before I transfer them to the client. I won't have time in the field to convert to ProRes 442(?) in order to verify that the video is capturing effectively. I've downloaded a VLC player, which seems to handle the H.264 better, but the fact that stuff is already bogging down makes me wonder whether I should stress this machine out any more than it already is.
Do any of you have experience with bootcamp on an older macbookpro, and working with massive HD video files? I don't need to edit much, or do much else, I just want this to be an effective, flexible field tool for downloading and transferring (and verifying) video files in both pc and apple formats.
So, should I boot camp this puppy or not?
And if y'all think that bootcamp won't bog this machine down too much, how do I find the date this machine was built so I can figure out which pc OS is compatible?
Thanks!
John

If your computer is "bogged down" now, it will be "bogged down" when doing the same thing in Windows. Bootcamp uses your computer's hardware in the same way your OSX uses your computer's hardware. Just adding Bootcamp in itself won't bog down your computer any more than booting into OSX does. OSX and Windows in Bootcamp don't run at the same time. Whichever OS you boot into will use all your computer's resources.
So if your hardware is not up to task when doing video in OSX it won't be up to task when doing video in Windows (Bootcamp).

Service activity creation in SAP from MSP (Microsoft Project)

Dear All,
As we are planning to integrate SAP & MSP, I have one query regarding service activity creation in SAP from MSP.
In case of service activity in SAP we have to assign respective services also otherwise it does not get saved.So when we transfer service activity from MSP (after maintaining the respective control key in MSP ) how we will manage with all services because we can not define these service in MSP.
Apart from that we have some procurement parameters also like material group, purchasing org, price, outline agreement....we have nothing in MSP for these...so how we will manage with this.....
Please just share your valuable input to deal with this....Thanks..
Regards
Ashok Sangal

Hi Harsh
Thanks for your quick reply......
I agree with you that by flexible field mapping we can do but my concern is that service activity should have services also defined in MSP because when this will come to SAP , it will ask for services & if services are not available then this will fail.
Please suggest your opinion ..

Flexible content lengths in form fields - how?

Hi everyone,
I am new at this Designer tool and need help regarding flexible contents inside form fields.
1. Inside my pattern-form there are fields for customer/product-contents which VARY their size.
--> Example: If field #a gets a size of 20 lines instead of 5, field #b (below #a) MUST move/relocate downwards.
(It is not acceptable to offer a maximum sized field only = I need flexible frames!)
2. Ideal would be: If form #a becomes too big, the form should be able to push field #b to the following page.
Can someone explain me the steps how to do produce a form which contains the requirements above? Many thanks in advance!
Matt

Hi Matt,
this issue should be resolved by placing the fields in question inside a sub-form. Subforms can either be Positioned (where the fields cannot grow) or Flowed (where the fields can grow).
To do this you can Ctrl+select all the fields in the hierarchy view and right-click --> Wrap in Subform.
This will alter the hierarchy structure; you will see the fields under your new subform.
Next, go to the Object's tab (once you have selected the subform) and change the property to 'Flowed' (the alternative is Positioned). Once you have changed it to Flowed, you have the option of flowing it either Top to bottom or Western Text (from left to right). This choice must be based on your requirement.
I won't lie - the Flowed/Positioned subform option can be tricky, the 'Margins'settings can mess with the rest of your layout. If this subform thing throws off your layout too much, you can also place Positioned subforms within it - just remember those subforms will not grow. Testing will reveal what suits you best.
It is very important to remember to tick 'Allow Page Breaks within Contents' - this allows the subform to flow over onto the next page if needed. Also, remember to look at your Field's properties (such as 'Allow Multiple Lines', etc).
I hope this has helped. Perhaps look for a tutorial on this matter on the Adobe site - you'll probably need a reference to look back on if you get stuck.

External field catalog & Info object catalogs - Role - in Flexible upload

1) What is the role of Info Object catalogs maintained in the Data Basis & the Source Data Basis?
Please be kind enough to mention a scenario u2013 underlining their utility in the consolidation process.
Like u2026.
Are they used for loading master data from source system to the BCS system?
Can they be used in the flexible upload u2013 data collection function?
Are they used for as a source of AFD data?
I came across the below documentation on flexible upload - in an SAP material.
*When uploading from a field catalog, you also have the option of using mapping. In this case, the file structure no longer has to correspond with the structure of the data basis.*
Understood the above 2 points.
*Rather, you can assign a BW InfoObjectCatalog that acts as the data structure description for the file here. You specify this InfoObjectCatalog in Customizing for the data basis.*
2)Does the above statement implies that we need not do any setting in the field catalog tab of the flexible upload? If yes, what do we do?
In the flexible upload u2013 field catalog tab u2013 we define the data structure for the file we upload (correct me if Iu2019m wrong).
If you use an external field catalog, you have to specify how you want to map the data structure for the file to the structure for the data basis.
3)Pls give an example of an external field catalog.
4)Can we use an external field catalog in the upload of RFD?
Many Thanks
Kind Regards,
Kumar

There are two possibilities of using Infoobject catalog in SEM-BCS (it is true for both catalogs, characteristics and key figures):
u2022 In a data basis. The system adds these chars and KFs that are sitting in the defined in the Data Basis catalogs to u201CAdditional Fieldsu201D of each data stream (the tab strip u201CData Stream Fieldsu201D in data basis. If you check some of these fields and generate data basis, these additional infoobjects will be placed into appropriate ODS/DSO objects and you will be able to use them for uploading of some extra information.
Without indicating the Infoobject Catalog for Chars youu2019ll not be able to configure a new functionality of "assets/liabilities" at all.
u2022 In a source data basis.
After including source data basis to your data basis youu2019ll be able to use external infoobjects catalog in a method of the category Flexible Upload. Tick the flag of using the external catalog and choose the SDB. In the mapping tab youu2019ll have a possibility to choose from those chars and KFs that are located in the catalogs.
This might be used for upload of ANY data, RFD, AFD or master data.
The scenarios, I guess, are rather obvious.
Hope this helps.

Flexible Real Estate BAPI or API for Supplemental Text (Memo Fields)

Hi,
Can any one let me know if there are any BAPI or API by which i can load long text into Memo Field (Supplemental text). we are on ECC 6.0 version (FLX-RE)
Thanks
Veman

Hi,
the upload of additional texts with BAPI or batch input recording is
not supported.
It's not possible to create notes or memos with the same BAPI call for
creating the real estate object itself. But you can add supplementary
texts in a 2nd step for existing real estate objects.
(1) Additional texts are SAPscript text modules
Use function modules INIT_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT.
Keys of RE-FX text modules are:
- OBJECT always "RE"
- ID = group key, e.g. "TMNO"
- NAME = <INTRENO of real estate object>#<subkey>#
- LANGU = logon language
Simply create a memo manually and check the resulting SAPscript text
module with report RFRECATM (tool to maintain text modules).
Function modules CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT and
CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT may be helpful to work with the SAPscript
ITF text format.
(2) Update of table VICAADDTEXT
The relationship between contract and text id is stored in table
VICAADDTEXT. To see the before created text module in the contract
dialog you have to insert an entry in table VICAADDTEXT.
INTRENO   intreno of the contract
TEXTCATE text category
ADDTEXTGUID GUID for additional text
A new GUID can be created with function call:
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'
      IMPORTING
        ev_guid_16       = ls_vicaaddtext-addtextguid
      EV_GUID_22       =
      EV_GUID_32       =
It may be helpful to first have a look at the content of table
VICAADDTEXT to see how already manually inserted entries are stored
in this table.
I hope that this information will help you to get the texts loaded.
Regards, Franz

Error in Creating a extension field in ByD

Hello ,
I am new to SAP byd ,
I am not able to add extension fields in Sales order.
It gives "Operation not Possible , User setting could not be determined"
How to rectify this?
Thanks
Prat

Cause
There are 2 possible reasons for this error message:
1. Your tenant is used for the development of customer-specific solutions
(One-Off Add-On).
Your user is assigned to a PDI solution and therefore you
can only create fields in the Cloud Applications Studio. You can only create
extension fields using the key user tools if you are not a PDI developer. Once
any user opens the PDI Studio the respective user is assigned to the PDI
solution.
2. Your tenant is a partner development tenant.
Since this system is a
partner development system the field extensibility is only possible in the Cloud
Applications Studio not in the key user UI (User Interface).
If the cause of the error is reason 1 you can solve this issue as
follows:
In order to use the standard field extensibility functionality you need to
create a key user which is not assigned to the PDI solution or change the access
rights of an existing Business User.
Please note that this user needs to be assigned to the Application and
User Management work center and the Flexibility Change Log view in
order to be able to use the field adaptation.
This user should not be assigned to Partner Development (ID:
PDI_PARTNER_DEVELOPMENT) and Development (ID:MAI_DEVELOPMENT).

DSO or ODS "Insert New Hierarchy Nodes" under Data Fields

When you insert info objects under the Data Fields in DSO right mouse click on the Data Fields icon and you will find Insert New Hierarchy Nodes . I created a hierarchy node with infoobjects associating with it which will be visible under the Filters Folder in BEx Query designer as a seperate folder. I can add them to the infoobjects from this folder into the query. I did not know how to apply this functionality in Queries and what it really does. My guess was you can create dynamic hierarchy using characteristic infoobjects from transactional data.Any ideas or links to documentation. This option was available from 7.X in DSO's and i think even in 3.x ODS.

Hi,
May help you:----
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4a/e71f39488fee0ce10000000a114084/content.htm
You could feel the flexibility of using this hierarchial display in the Query. Try to create any Query on this DSO.

Multiple text fields in Print Module

Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

Thanks In advance .

Hi
I am trying to create new information structure copying S076 . Could I request you to clarify below points pls .
1. Which application I have to select in the field , does this application selection makes any difference ?
2.What type of IS ( Information Structure ) I need to select in the field .
3.If I copy S076 and trying to create new information structure , in key figures ,field " material " is not there . I need combination of material / ship to party , what have I to do for this problem pls ....
