Free text mapping

I need to transform content of a file with the structure as follow
Name [tab] Name1
Name [tab] Name2
Name [tab] Name3
Group [tab] Group11 [tab] Group12
Group [tab] Group21 [tab] Group22
Group [tab] Group31 [tab] Group32 [tab] Group33
Note: [tab] = '0x09'.
With this kind of structure, what type of mapping should I use?
Can I use message mapping, or need to use Java mapping or other type?
Thanks

Hi,
>>How does the engine know to separate the [tab] character here
You need to specify the field separator as [tab] in the FCC of the Sender file adapter...!
Also have a look into the Blog <a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2005/08/17/nab-the-tab-file-adapter Delimited files</a> By Shabarish Vijayakumar

Taxonomy Attributes - Can they accept free Text

HI Friends,
Our MDM Version: MDM 5.5, SP06, Patch 04.
We currently have Taxonomy Attributes sent from MDM to ECC Classification & Material Characteristics using CLFMAS02. Until now these characteristics had fixed values and this was fine as both MDM and ECC were accepting only fixed values.
Now the business wants to make the Classification Characteristics in ECC as free Text(No Drop Down). And this is do able in ECC. But MDM cannot allow Taxonomy Attrbutes to be Free Text . It has to have fixed set of values in MDM.
Please help me with input in the following areas:
1. Can we make the Taxonomy Attributes in MDM as FREE Texts.
2. If we cannnot make them as FREE Texts , what is the reason for it to have been designed so.
3. What should be the alternative approach i could use to have this scenario implemented in MDM.
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sh

Hi Alexander,
I have an excel interface used for Mass Creation of Materials. This will in addition have fields for the Taxonomy Characteristics which would accept free text and get mapped to the characteritics.
Unless the characteristic is a free text it will not work.
As I mentioned on the ECC side the free text for characteristics can be enabled. the challenge is MDM does not allow it so i dont think i can use the CLFMAS as is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sh

Free text retrieval with Context Cartridge

I am wondering whether it would a problem to create a Java
application doing free text retrieval via Context Cartridge.
I mean by that :
1. JDBC call via thin Oracle driver with CONTAINS in WHERE
clause. Is it supposed to work ?
2. Assuming we have several hits in a BLOB can we provide
functionality ( next hit prev hit ) in textarea field for Java
frame.
null

This one was forwarded to JDBC experts. Two experts (A and B)
replied. Their answers are below.

A. YES.
B. There is no limitation in JDBC of using CONTAINS in WHERE
clause.
2. Assuming we have several hits in a BLOB can we provide
functionality ( next hit prev hit ) in textarea field for Java
frame.
A. I don't really get what you mean. If you mean that you want to
map a Java Frame to a BLOB column and depending upon the hit in
the Java frame, you want to read the data from a certain position
(offset), then yes. If you are using 8.0.X drivers, you can use
the dbms_lob.read call. If you are using 8.1.X drivers, you can
use Blob.getBytes call.
B. It can be achieved by creating a wrapper of using the
following method in oracle.sql.BLOB in 8.1 driver.
public long position(byte[] pattern,
long start)
throws SQLException
Determines the byte position at which the specified byte pattern
begins within the BLOB value that this Blob object represents.
Begin search at position start. Parameters:
pattern - the byte array for which to search
start - the position at which to begin searching; the first
position is 1
Returns: the position at which the pattern appears, else -1.
Throws: SQLException - if there is an error accessing the BLOB
null

Free Text Qualification

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement that a manager can insert a new qualification for its subordinate, but he don't have to add it to the qualification catalog. I know that this is not recommended but we actually need it. So is there anyway that a manager can insert a free text qualification with its value without having to update it in qualification catalog? Thanks in advance

Hi Hendri,
Without ABAP development, it is not possible.
By ABAP development, you can proceed as follows:
Go to SPRO - Personnel Management - Personnel Development - Functions - Define Profile View - Subprofiles.
There, for Qualification there must be a program name in format SAPLXXXX (probably SAPLRHPP).
Then you can goto SE80 and copy RHPP function module.
There in the respective screen, you can remove qualification field but insert a free text field instead.
Then in the Profile view customizing step, you need to map this newly added program and screen.

Dilek

ELM: upload of free text (notes field)

Hi experts,
For a client we are setting up the external list management functionality.
We were able to match a lot of fields and have been appending structures CRMT_MKTLIST_*_EXT and made an implementation of CRM_MKTLIST_BADI.
But for the moment we weren't able to perform a mapping format for the field NOTES. Anybody of you an idea how to implement this?
Points will be rewarded.
Kind regards,
Francis

Thx for answering!
My fault, i simply changed "notes" and "free text"
Sorry!

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.

Free text Reading Problem

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,
krishna.

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.

Yes, this is implemented using a selection screen, but the same principals apply and this can be easily converted to a dynpro application.

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.
Reagrds,
Shyamal

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,
