Free Text In LOV's

Hi there, is it possible to have a text field in which the user can enter whatever they like, with an LOV of suggested values ?
Thanks, Steve.

Yes, most (not all) of the "Popup LOV" item types do exactly that.

  • Acrobat 5.0.5 text disappears in Free Text Tool

    Ok it's an oldie, but it's a goodie.  I love my Acrobat 5.0.5, and never had any reason to upgrade.  Well once.  From 5.0 to 5.0.5.  I have used my license on three different machine builds.  95, 2K and now XP Pro 64 bit and it still works great.  (Yes, this program has outlived 2 older computers!)  Well.  Until yesterday.  Suddenly when I create a free text box, and type in there, the text disappears.  This happened once before a few years back, and I have forgotten what the fix was, but I do believe that was why I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.5.  Now it is happening again.
    Now for the real kick in the pants.  I tried to reinstall my product, thinking to correct the problem, and all of a sudden Adobe doesn't like my several years old serial number.  I get the error message that it isn't valid.  And it IS a valid license, just a really OLD one.  I only used it for the latest install of this, my same program, about a year ago, maybe a little more than a year.
    I tried to just run the 5.0.5 update program again and it says the program isn't even installed to update.  What the heck?  OF COURSE IT IS.
    I'm very frustrated and disappointed, as this is an old favorite of mine and I hate to think that Adobe has rused it so that it just won't work anymore to force me to purchase a newer version, when I didn't need a newer version.
    If someone familiar with this old version of Acrobat could help me resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

    The 64 bit OS can run most 32 bit applications just fine if you set it up right, and as I stated, this issue is not a compatibility issue, but a recurring issue within the application itself that also plagued me once upon a time when I ran it under Win 2k.  Apparently an Adobe bug, and I suspect it is more related to the forced download of an updated version of the basic acrobat reader (due to Adobe inflicted browser issues)  than it is with a Windows update.  In my case, I set all of my old 32 bit applications up on a separate drive.  I never default install programs on the main OS drive if it can be helped.  Some of them I have to click the actual application *.exe or shortcut, because "open with" absolutely will not work, even if it is set as the default application for certain extensions.  You will get an error message about it not being a valid Win32 application.  From the program itself, however, once it is launched, it is never a problem to browse to and open the correct data file.
    I even went so far as to install the Adobe basic reader when I was forced to do so, on a completely separate drive from my Acrobat 5 because I am well aware that previously caused problems as well, and never EVER let the application make its automatic updates from Adobe.... EITHER of them, actually.  I suspect it was one of those snuck through and not a Windows update that caused it, although the possibility exists, I suspect Adobe does whatever it can to sell more software.

  • Automatic PO creation of free text PR

    Hi!
    We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
    Sincerely
    Anders

    Hi
    Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
    If I understand you right:
    1) Create PR with item category D Service
    2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
    That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
    Sincerely
    Anders

  • Automatic PO from PR [free text base procurement ]

    Hi SAP gurus ,
    I have following question ,
    I am not using material master , it is a free text base procurement .
    even there are no contracts in place .
    Purchasing is only PR - PO w.r.t. & without respect to PR  - GR - IV . etc.
    How can I create a Automatic PO w.r.t. PR ?
    Can anybody please advice?
    Thanks ,
    Prasad

    Hello,
    1. Check auto PO tick in Vendor Master record.
    2. Create Info record for material group which you are going to use in PR. This is important for net price, purchasing group and tax code which will be mandatory in PO.
    3. Assign Source of supply as this info record in PR.
    4. Create auto PO in ME59N t- code.

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

    Hi All,
    I am using set_text_as_r3table of class cl_gui_textedit after creating a container .This is called from another screen.
    Now if I am trying to read  the text using either GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_STREAM, for the first time its reading fine but if I enter text and then press cancel ( I have save and cancel buttons in the screen ) and goes back to first screen and again come to the screen where there is Free text  then it still shows the Text even though i use DELETE_TEXT  ...Flush...buffer refresh etc etc....I tried clearing container objects as well b4 creating new objects.Still there is no help.
    Is there any thing that I am missing ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    BR,

    Hi Guys...thanks for the interest .I already tried those but with no luck.I also tried Free method but it gives me a dump for someother reason.
    Its really strange as if I read that text it shows the internal table is empty.So potentially it is deleting the text but some how the screen is holding that value.
    any help is appreciated.

  • Free Text in Sales Order

    Hi ,
    How can we fetch the free text for a Sales Order .
    Any inputs on the same would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It is just like fetching any other long text.
    You need to use the function module READ_TEXT.
    Pass the following parameters to it:
    1. Text Name
    2. Language
    3. Text ID
    4. Text Object
    You can get the values of these parameter from sales order itself.
    Go to Sales order (VA03). Enter a sales order & go inside it.
    Go to item level & select the tab 'Texts'
    In the left hand side, there will be a tree control containing text types.
    Select a text type which contains any text.
    Then click the lens button at the bottom (in the toolbar).
    The text will appear in SAP Script Editor.
    Then from the menu, select GOTO -> HEADER.
    A popup will appear with the parameter values.
    Pass these parameter values to the FM READ_TEXT & it will return you the long text.
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

  • Enforcing free text in Transport request

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to inquire if there is a possible way to restrict or control the Short description of transport request? We have a naming convention but users are not adharing to standard standard name convension. Standard naming convention is a necessity so that we can identify quickly the ones that needs to be transported, or the ones that needs to be deleted during clean up activities. This should be strictly followed by users, instructors, trainees and developers. This naming convention needs to be strictly followed by developers to avoid their asset objects to be deleted in the system.
    For example, Our Standard name convension is <string><md><c><9999999>FREETEXT
    String = 2 char alpha numberic charactor
    MD = Module
    C = One charactor
    9999999 = Incident or CR number
    Then free text
    we want to restrict this. so if the end-user named the TR with anything else that does not follow the naming convention we have established, the end-user should encounter an error stating the he/she must change the name of the TR and follow our naming convention before he/she could proceed.
    Looking for good solution which can be easily implemented.
    regards
    Kishore

    Hi,
    Double click the request and change. There is a documentation tab. Enter the text there and save.

    For example, this program works really well with saving long text using the SAVE_TEXT function.  Here you need to create the object/id in SE75.  For this program you enter the id on the right like 999999 and enter the text on the left, execute and the text is saved, now change the id to 999998 and hit enter, notice the text is blank, now enter 999999 again, notice the text for this id has come back,  this is because the program uses READ_TEXT to retrieve the text.

  • RESULTS RECORDING WITH FREE TEXT IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT

    Hi,
    How can I give free text of 300 chars In results recording? For a process order with batch number & recipe, (in which master inspection characteristics are mentioned which are linked to general characteristics.)
    I created characteristics (type CHAR)(which can be used as free text in results recording ) I have created class, assigned chars to class & finally to material. Also assigned MIC to this class chars.
    When I do results recording I need to have these characteristics to be display as free text of 30character width. But since I have to give selected set for this general chars.(which is the system requirement) I have given  selected set while creation of characteristics.
    Due to this I can only select the codes from the selected set. Is there any process in which I can write free text up to 30 cars during results recording in quality module? & those characteristics I want to assign to MIC so that when process order is executed the first operation of quality can be done for RR.
    With Regards,
    Kareena

    Hi Kareena,
    All of first let me make it clear, if you will assign a Class Characteristic to the MIC, then it will become either Qualitative or QNT.
    Now toeards your questions solution.
    Option:-1
    As suggested by Venkatr, make the control indicator "Docu. Req" in the MIC control indicator set, page:-2. for the line item of MIC in the insepction plan.
    So, the system will prompt you a message to insert a text as described by Venkat, where you can enter the Long text also (Check the button available in the lower part of that small window)
    Option:-2
    Create a document type for this purpose, and assign a file, having 300 char. to the MIC, with the help of the "Object Link" function of SAP, avaialble with RR screen also.

  • Intercompany Exchange of NLAG materials or free text items

    Hi,
    in my company we have set up the intercompany procurement process according to the SAP standard. Means when one company places a PO with another group company (different comp code) a delivery is created against this PO. Now the companies want to start procuring either NLAG materials or free text items which leads to an error message ME124 "Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant" for NLAG or error 06806 "Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined".
    Any ideas how to overcome this?
    Regards,
    St

    Hello Stefan Teckenbr,
    Please do the above necessary customization
    Go into IMG > Logistics general > material master > Basic Settings > material type > Define Attributes of Material Types
    Select your material type and click Quantity/Value update.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank,

  • Price differece between purchase req and PO for free text purchase

    Hi there
    Has anyone found a good solution for the following problem. 
    A free text purchase requisition item is created with a value = x.  The buyer goes out to quote (not using SAP RFQ - manual) and comes back with a price change.  The buyer creates the purchase order referencing the purchase requisition, but they need to change the value to x+10. 
    The client wants to stop the purchase order been created if the value is above a certain percentage.  The standard settings in the system are for material values.  Does anyone know how to extend this to a short text item on a purchase requistion?
    Thanks
    Roz

    Hi,
    This is not possible to achieve in SAP standard functionality.
    You can do one thing, keep Price field for the PO Document type of Text Purchases as display, which will not allow user to change the price for Text POs.
    Use Release Strategy for Purchase Requisitions and keep changeability for the Release indicator as "4" and % Changeability as 10%. And ask user ro change the price in ME52N only instead of changing it in PO. If it will increase more than 10% the PR Value then system will reset the release and this PR needs to be released again.
    If it is not acceptable then you can try it with user exit "MM06E007" - Change document for requisitions upon conversion into PO

  • GR based IV to be checked for free text requirement

    Hi All,
    Is there any option that if we create shopping carts for free text requirement,GR based IV should be checked automatically in purchase order created for that shopping cart.Or will this get replicated depending on vendor master we select.Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As of standard, this setting in PO would come from Vendor master only. But in case you want this to happen for all free text items, then you can use the doc change badi as suggested by Masa. You should use the po change method to pass this indicator.
