How to reduce the level of free text / direct purchasing

A common problem at all sites is how to reduce the level of free text / direct / non catalogue based purchasing. This is where users enter an account assignment and free text instead of using an existing material number.
This is often the case because it is too "dificult" for the user to search and find the correct material number.
How have other sites handled this?
has anyone found a solution that if a user enters lets say "paper" into the free text box, a pop up appears with a match on possible materials with the word "paper" in the short description? This sounds like a pretty easy function to implement? Does anyone have the code?

Yes this works, but you have to tell that the user has to enter the text  in the material number field, then SAP will search thru the database.

  • How to change the font size of text element in smartform

    Hi
    i want to know how to change the font size of text element in smartform
    regards
    Gincy

    Hi
    You can create Smartstyles, in which you can define paragraph formats for texts and character formats for character level changes.
    Paragraph format ---> alignment, font size etc
    character format for ---> superscript, subscript.
    After creating, in your smartform, there will be a option in the text element to enter a style.
    You give the created style and you can use the paragraph and character formats i that style.
    Hope this is clear..

  • Web report for opening it takes long time how to reduce the time?

    HI Experts,
    I created report using webi. For next time while opening it takes more time. How to reduce the time.

    Hi Manikandan,
    There could be multiple reason behind the bad performance.
    1. Are you using supported JVM version to run Webi reports?
    2. Do the reports contain prompts? Are the LOVs set to "Automatic refresh before use"? If yes, uncheck it.
    3. How many queries do the report has? Can you run the queries one by one and check which query is taking much time?
    4. If it based on relational database, copy and run it against the database directly and check how much time it takes. If more, you may have to fix the issue at database level like using temporary tables, indices, etc.
    5. Also check if there are firewalls or proxy server between client and server communication. if yes, try to refresh the report directly on BO server and check.
    6. Check if there is any hinderance between BO server and Database server communcation.
    Hope it will help.

  • How to reduce the database size based on MS SQL/Oracle?

    Hi,
    I had deleted severy clients via SCC5, but the database size is more and more bigger. Do you know how to reduce the database size.
    my platform is: NT, MS SQL 2005
                           NT, Oracle 10.2
    Best Regards,
    Simon Shen

    Hi Simon,
    In the case of SQL you need to check how many space free you have in your datafiles and the based on that you need to Shrink them using DBCC SHRINKFILE command.
    Find a couple of reference docs here,
    http://www.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=996
    http://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql70/dbcc_21.htm
    Also i'm pretty sure that if your check the properties of the datafiles in MSSQL Enterprise Manager you get a "Shrink" option.

  • How to reduce the transparency of these curtains?

    Hi all, I am currently photoshopping (CS5) this picture and I was wondering whether anyone could give me some advice on how to reduce the transparency of the curtains (in the bottom half a terrace and window frame are shining through)? I tried playing with the 'Output Levels' on those areas, but the result is quite uneven. If only the folds were parallel I could stretch the top part over the terrace. Thanks in advance!

    In the end I stretched out the terrace bits and levelled it out with the rest of the curtains.

  • How to Reduce the Gate count of a Design(RTL gate count)

     
    Hi All,
    I am a newbie to FPGA design and implemetation. I have a design (H.264 Encoder) and implemented on zynq zc702 (which is having Artix7 FPGA fabric). Now we need to implement it on zynq zc706 with reduced gate count ( because we are going to add some more blocks like rate control etc.,)
    How to reduce the gate count ?
    Please guide me regarding this query.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh

    
    Try to reduce the overall control set. Registers in the slice shares the same control set so if the number of registers in the control set do not divide cleanly, some registers may go unused.
    Make sure correct DSP and BRAM blocks are getting inferred by the tool
    Try to map FSM in BRAM.
    Use Synthesis and Implementation level strategies.
    See if any module is having high utilization and can be reduced by changing RTL: report_utilization -hierarchical  -file utilization.txt

  • How to read the content of a text file (by character)?

    Guys,

    Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

    package java.io
    InputStream.read(): int
    Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
    Implementation:
    InputStreamReader
    An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

  • How to find the level of each child table in a relational model?

    Earthlings,
    I need your help and I know that, 'yes, we can change'. Change this thread to a answered question.
    So: How to find the level of each child table in a relational model?
    I have a relacional database (9.2), all right?!
         O /* This is a child who makes N references to each of the follow N parent tables (here: three), and so on. */
        /↑\ Fks
       O"O O" <-- level 2 for first table (circle)
      /↑\ Fks
    "o"o"o" <-- level 1 for middle table (circle)
       ↑ Fk
      "º"Tips:
    - each circle represents a table;
    - red tables no have foreign key
    - the table in first line of tree, for example, has level 3, but when 3 becomes N? How much is N? This's the question.
    I started thinking about the following:
    First I have to know how to take the children:
    select distinct child.table_name child
      from all_cons_columns father
      join all_cons_columns child
    using (owner, position)
      join (select child.owner,
                   child.constraint_name fk,
                   child.table_name child,
                   child.r_constraint_name pk,
                   father.table_name father
              from all_constraints father, all_constraints child
             where child.r_owner = father.owner
               and child.r_constraint_name = father.constraint_name
               and father.constraint_type in ('P', 'U')
               and child.constraint_type = 'R'
               and child.owner = 'OWNER') aux
    using (owner)
    where child.constraint_name = aux.fk
       and child.table_name = aux.child
       and father.constraint_name = aux.pk
       and father.table_name = aux.father;Thinking...
    Let's Share!

  • How to get the amount of free physical memory?

    How to get the amount of free physical memory?
    (without sudo or root)

    vmstat will give it to you.
    Although the question depends a bit on what you mean by free memory.
    The figure vmstat labels free (in any reasonably recent version of solaris) actually represents memory mostly filled with cached file contents. So it represents memory that can be easily released if needed by something more important.
    Like most unix versions, solaris will use any free memory to cache files thats have been read/written previously just in case they are needed again

    Define the paragraphs & character formats using SMARTSTYLES & use them in your smartform.
    You have to give the smartstyle name in the Form attributes-->Output options for the formats to be used in your smartform.

    I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill
