Item Code Field size

Hi!
Is there a way to increase the Item Code field size? I believe it is 20 characters. Can it be increased to a higher size, say, 35 characters?
Prajwal

Hi Prajwal Kashyap,
The length of item code is designed in background as 20 characters and cannot be changed from front end, even with add-on/SDK.
If it is really necessary for your customer to change the definition, please kindly refer to Note 1028874 regarding missing functionality for datails and log a message providing Business Impact.

  • Restricting Duplication in Item Code Field

    Dear Experts,
               I am designing an FMS on sale order Item Code Field. When it will executed on first line it will show all the sale items but as it will be executed on 2nd line it will show sale items excluding the item which has been entered at first line and same scenario will occur at 3rd line means it shows Sale Items excluding Items entered on line 1 & 2 and same for other lines. So the user will not be able to enter a single item twice not even by mistake.
    Please tell me what would be the FMS query for this.

    Hi Muhammad,
    Executing a stored procedure will not solve your problem.
    Stored procedure can only evaluate when your records is written in table.
    In your case, when user enter an item code, it is not yet committed to database.
    Thus your stored procedure will never know what items have been entered.
    Your current requirement cannot be addressed by FMS.
    You have 2 choices.
    1. If you insists on validating live as when the user enter the items, you need an UI API addon.
    2. If you can live with validating when the user click the add/update the document, you can use Transaction Notification.

  • Move to next field after typing item code in a document

    Hello experts,
    In a marketing document we type 1000 in item code field and press tab.
    we would like the cursor to move to next field but instead a list of items is being opened.
    in the list there are two items 1000 and 10001
    in another company we can do it but we couldnt find what is the difference between the two companies setup definitions.
    Thank you,
    Rinat

    Hi,
    Please make sure item number fully entered at item code. If not complete, then list of items window will open.
    If possible please post screen shot above window

  • Item Codes-Automatic(urgent)

    Hi All,
    I want to define Item Code as Default i.e In SAP How we are getting the Default numbering for eg.1,2,3,4.........I want in the same way for the Item Code.IS IT POSSIBLE through Query based FMS or any other way??
    Thanks in Advance.
    mona

    Dear Mona,
    In order to resolve the issue, please do the following steps :-
    1. Create a Initial Item code I0000 manually in the application.
    2. Save the following query :-
    Select max(Itemtype)
    + cast(substring( max(Itemcode), 2, len(max(Itemcode)))
    + 1 as nvarchar(10)) from OITM                                              
    Where Itemtype = $[OITM.Itemtype]
    3. Create a formatted search based on the above query and assign it to the itemcode field. (Open Item master in add mode )
    4. Then select refresh the formatted search regularly with the Item description change.
    5. Then Go to item master data in add mode put something in item code field and then type the correct item description and click tab.
        Now your Itemcode field will display as "I0001".

  • How do we do production orders for same item code in different sizes

    Hi,
    We have Items which we buy as a single sheet of material and our customers can ask for us to cut the complete sheet into different sizes before despatching it. i.e
    Item Code Sheet1: Sheet size 100mm x 100mm
    Customer asks for sheet to be cut into 10 off 10mm x 10mm sheets, which we presently put on the sales order as a line note
    We then generate a production order for this item and indicate on the production order printout the line note
    We've recently had a customer who has asked for Item 1 in two different sizes on the same sales order ie
    Order Line 1 Sheet1 Qty:1 Line note: cut into 10mm x 10mm sheets
    Order Line 2 Sheet1 Qty:1 Line note: cut into 50mm x 50mm sheets
    When generating the Production order SAP combines the items into
    Product No: Sheet1
    Planned Qty: 2
    Where as we want it to create 2 production orders 1 of each different sizes items.
    I know I can create BOMs for those two sizes, but customers can ask for the sheets to be cut to whatever size they want. Is the best method to create BOMs on the fly for each different sizing option or are there alternative methods that are easier to manage ?
    Thanks
    Carl

    Hi Carl Rutter,
    You have to creat 2 special production order for this item. when issue the component make sure you issue the stock as per the cosumption becaue one have 10mmx10mm and the another item have 50x50 in this case you issue component by square inch wise. for example 10*10 = 100 squre inch.
    50*50 = 2500 square inch so the cost will be approtionate. you can Use multiple uom method to obtain this, other wise you have covert into stock then you issue the component. If you want traxk size wise ,you can use batch option for Finishe goods.

  • How to increase the field size in modules

    Dear Oracle Team,
    When we add some items in reason codes from the dictionary, it has certain limit in reason code and title. So I can increase those field size to add bigger text for title names.
    I think it also applicable for the fields in other modules also. Looking your valuable support.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sheik

    1.  Once you add a custom field to your database, it would be made available to either your reports (BI) or your layouts in PCM.
    2.  When you create the custom field, you would specify the field length/type/properties.  (i.e. "Char" field with 120 char field length)  If you set this to one value when you create (say 120 char) and want to CHANGE it to 140 characters, you cannot do this without deleting and re-creating the custom field.  I did check 14.0.3 and this continues in this version as well.
    2a.  Best practice is to be generous in your field sizes to avoid needing to change it later.
    As I mentioned before, any default fields in the database are fixed to their set properties and the only way to change them is to submit an SR to Oracle to request the change.

  • Reg: Diffrent Barcodes for one Item code

    Hi,
    For my client( Retail),He wants to have different Barcodes for one Item code.But one Item code we can enter only one barcode.So please solve my issue.Urgent.
    Thanks in advance
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay
    SAP Business One is not really suited to the retail environment and I would suggest that if the functionality is an issue, you consider a retail add-on. The problem is that in retail, multiple bar codes must be available to identify the product at the time of selling (scanning being the preferred method), and a UDT will not directly solve the problem. An alternative would be some SDK development, but this could be costly, and it might be better to look at a complete add-on rather.
    Another issue is the handling of multiple pack sizes and pricing per pack size, which in SAP Business One requires multiple items to be created as you only have one field to use, namely Sales UOM & Items per Sales Unit. This effectively only gives you 2 levels, namely single and shrink. In retail you often buy and sell in Pallets, Cases, Shrinks & Singles. Each of this pack sizes has a different bar code as well.
    Can you give me more detail on how SAP Business One is currently being configured to cater for this retail customer, and I cna guide you better.
    Kind regards

    Hi
    Goto FBCJ, it will have two segments, one is the header data and other is the line item data.
    In the Line item segment where you enter the line item details, go to the right hand side corner of the Table. You will see a small icon with colours. This icon is present at the Top right hand corner of the line item entry table in FBCJ.
    Click on this ICON, this is the administrator icon. Then click on administrator, then you can see list of field names, there will be a check box called invisible. For the fields TAx code and juristiction it will be marked as invisibel. remove this tick and activate and save the parameter.
    Afterwards you will get the required fields in FBCJ.
    If you have problem when you click on the icon, then it is a authorisation problem so contact your Basis resourse for necessary action then do the changes as required.
    Cheers

  • WebPart is raising the following error "Invalid data has been used to update the list item.The field you are trying to update may be read only"

  • How to determine the field size

    I am going to make a multiplatform application that hopefully
    will run on linux and windows 2000.If the os is 2000, then I will use
    vb.net/aspx else I'll use java servlets. I make the connection
    to the web server ( through HTTP) not directly to database server.
    So, the resultset will be stored in the String object. The columns
    will be separated by delimeter. Our problem is how to determine
    the size and type of the fields of mssql,oracle and postgres database
    so that we can include it in the String object.
    Ex.
    String sResultSet=new String();
    ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery(sSQL);
    while(rs.next()){
    sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) + "||" + rs.getString(field2) + "||";
    vertical bars acts as delimeter
    supposedly this is the code:
    sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
    rs.getFieldSize() + "||" + rs.getString(field2) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
    rs.getFieldSize() + "||";
    supposedly this is the code if rs.getFieldType() and rs.getFieldSize() methods are existing
    Anyone can give me an idea how to get the field type and field size of the database?
    thanks in advance

    Yes, but I dont know how to do it.
    Can you give me an example of using it.
    Thanks in advance

  • Contract item customer fields not getting saved from ITS side??

    Hi there,
    I have had to add "account assignment" details to a contract item (3 fields: account assignment, G/L account and cost center)...
    All is going fine....in fact the 3 fields have been added on the contract item level in function group BBP_CTR_UI_ITS screen 4100. I followed the instructions in SAP note number 458591 "user defined fields: preparation and use"...
    The 3 fields I added where "generated" down to SAP table level and now appear in table BBP_PDIGP...
    Also when I create a contract from transaction BBP_CTR_MAIN and fill my 3 new fields in on the item level all works fine when I release the contract...the contract item gets created and the 3 new fields appear nicely in table BBP_PDIGP....so from the GUI side all is PERFECT...
    I have worked on the ITS side of things quite a bit but now I clearly don't understand something...
    I go to "internet service" BBP_CTR_MAIN - template SAPLBBP_CTR_UI_ITS 4100.....I have added my code and my 3 fields display perfectly on the web page....for each contract item.....
    As I said I can make the contract with the 3 new fields filled perfectly via the GUI (transaction BBP_CTR_MAIN)....and if I VIEW that contract on the web it also displays perfect with the 3 filled in fields....
    If I COPY that contract.....and save the new one, the 3 fields are still fine, all saved.
    NOW COMES THE PROBLEM:-)
    If I create a new contract from the web, fill in my 3 fields on the contract item level THE 3 FIELD VALUES SEEM TO NOT GET POSTED BACK AND SAVED IN THE SRM DATABASE...
    I have tried everything from using FIELD-GET, FIELD-SET...the note I mentioned above mentions some BADI's that I could possibly use:
    BBP_CUF_BADI_2 (modify screen methods etc)
    BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI
    All I really want to try understand is how interaction between the user clicking on the web page and the SAP GUI screen flow is really happening.....I mean I see in function group BBP_CTR_UI_ITS there are a number of function modules with ITS in them, are those function modules just called when the user is clicking on the web (via ITS etc) - I would assume so...
    Bottomline is I need what is happening in the SAP GUI to happen on the web as well.....it is almost there, I just need a push in the right direction so that I can grab the fields from the web page, in the most standard way possible.
    Thanks for the help, I am very curious to see how this sort of solved.

  • SBO 2007 PLD AR invoice item code not printing

    Hi,
    We have a problem which just started yesterday on an installation that has been running fine for a long time.   The PLD format for the AR Invoice usually prints the row ItemCode no problem.  Since yesterday it started printing the item's manufactirers number instead.   If we changed the default layout to the SAP supplied layout the problem was the same.   Went in to the customised PLD and amended it to one field and then back to the ItemCode now it does not print anything in that field, and nor do the system provided PLDs either, although they have/can not be amended.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hi Thanks for the replies,
    The system is on SP00 PL49.    There are no add-ons, and certainly no add-on have been removed or added recently.  The AR invoice PLD has been in use for at least six months without modification.   The field for item code in the PLD looks fine, if I amend it to show, say, the INV1 warehouse code instead, it works fine.  If I switch it back to Itemcode it print nothing.   If I check the table it looks fine also.  It is very strange that the same symptom is experienced in the customer modified PLD and system default PLDs
    Any ideas?
    Simon
