Least count- user defined field

Hi, we want to define a user defined field (lease count) in equipment screen (ie01) for gages calibration. Please advise is there any option to create least count field in ie01 screen which can allow us to fetch the least count field in the customized reports.

Dear Yadav
There are lot of fields available in the IE01 which can be considered to be used as Least count. Rather defining a new field use any unused field

User defined fields via DI-API

I want to read user defined fields using the DI-API.
The following code works but lists only UDFs defined for articles:
SAPbobsCOM.Items item =
(SAPbobsCOM.Items) GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems);
int count = item.UserFields.Fields.Count;
MessageBox.Show("count == "+anzahl.ToString(), "OK");
for(int i=0; i<count; i++){
MessageBox.Show("index == "+i.ToString(), "OK");
MessageBox.Show("name == "+item.UserFields.Fields.Item(i).Name, "OK");
If I try to list all UDFs defined in the system using the oUserFields object I get an exception when I assign the business object:
try{
SAPbobsCOM.UserFields ufd = (SAPbobsCOM.UserFields)
GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields); // exception
int count = ufd.Fields.Count;
catch(System.Exception ex){
MessageBox.Show("ex.ToString(), "OK");
The exception says something like
InvalidCastException: COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' can not casted into
interface type SAPbobsCOM.UserFields
Thank you for help,

Hi Vítor,
thank you for the hint to UserFieldsMD - now the access works.
You wanted to know what I am trying to do - let me explain the background even it is a bit complicated:
I have to access a certain UDF defined for articles.
To access this UDF I can't use a fixed index like e.g. '5' in
item.UserFields.Fields.Item(5).Value
because this index is 5 only on my local machine - it could be a different index on the target machine.
I solved this in writing some sql-code to access table CUFD and to find the index of this UDF in CUFD.FieldID.
But sometimes there is a problem when there are UDFs deleted from the database. It is possible that there are 'holes' between the FieldId of UDFs of one object, e.g.
Initial entries in CUFD (Table, FieldId, Name => code to access field):
OITM 0 'myUDF1'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(0).Value
OITM 1 'myUDF2'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(1).Value
OITM 2 'myUDF3'   ==> item.UserFields.Fields.Item(2).Value
After deletion of 'myUDF2':
OITM 0 'myUDF1'
OITM 2 'myUDF3'
Now the access to 'myUDF2' with item.UserFields.Fields.Item(2).Value fails!
You have to use index '1' in .Item(index) to access 'myUDF2' because this UDF is now the second UDF in the item object (zero based).
After I realized this I didn't use the sql-code to get FieldID any longer and searched with a loop all existing indices and compared them with the name of my special UDF, e.g. (this code works as expected):
public int getUDFIndex(string udfName){
index = -1;
for(int i=0; i<item.UserFields.Fields.Count; i++{
    if(item.UserFields.Fields.Item(i).Name == udfName){
      index = i;
      break;
return index;
Now I tried to make this method more general to find UDFs in any object - not only in item objects.
This is the background I wanted to access SAPbobsCOM.UserFields for.
The problem is that UserFieldsMD has no method like Item(index) as I used it in my example.
Do you have an idea to solve the problem with the 'holes' between FieldId in the UFD-table CUFD?

Accessing user defined fields when multiple forms as open SBO 2005

Hi
I have a program which updates a user defined field on the sales order screen. This works fine but fails to work correctly when they have more than one sales order screen open.
It updates the first sales order screen and not the active one.
Is there any easy way of accessing the correct user defined form which is attached to the active screen please ?
Code below -
            For lc = 0 To B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.Count - 1
                If B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.Item(lc).TypeEx = "-139" Then
                    form2 = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount("-139", 1)
                    form2.Items.Item("U_bpremarks").Specific.string = orecset.Fields.Item(0).Value
                End If
            Next
Many thanks
Regards Andy

Hi Paul,
you got the point - as long as you have always the udf screens open the count is the same !
no need to say sorry

User defined field ang XL report ter

Hi everybody!
I using user defined field to create 2 field for marketting form( A/R Invoice).I created
them in title of form. when i use Xl reporter to get data from 2 these field, i don't see it where. Can you help me!

Dear Tien Le,
Additionally to the answer of Jimmy Michael:
After marking the UDF you need in tools->manage UDF you have to restart XL-Reporter before you can see your UDF in any of the dimension look ups (at least if you are working with the advanced report builder - I don't have any experience using the report composer).
That is, you have to close XL-Reporter, terminate XL-Reporter in Administration->Add-ons-Add-on manager in the main menu of SAP and start it again.
Now your UDF is available in all report definitions.

How I know if a user define field exist?

Hi,
I need to add a user define field to the business partner table using the SDK. Before I add the field I would like to create a condition to know if the field exist.
I will appreciate any help
Thanks.

Dear Rafael ...
If you want to check whether there're any user fields you can use recordset to look for the name of field in CUFD table. Here with I enclose example to Look for Fields "ColorID" in "@MSI_COLOR" Table .
===============================================
Private Function CheckUserFields() As Boolean
oRecordset.DoQuery "select count(*) from CUFD where TableId='@MSI_COLOR' And AliasID='ColorID' "
If oRecordset.Fields(0).Value > 0 Then
   CheckUserFields = True
Else
   CheckUserFields = False
End If
End Function
======================================
You can use that function ...
If CheckUserFields = True then
Else
    oSboApplication.messagebox "Field Colot Is Not Found in SAP B1 "
End If
Hopefully can helps

Cannot remove user define fields

Hi,
I am trying to remove a user defined field (U_Prirev) in Table (OHEM) and am getting the following error:
Ref count for this object in higher then 0. Error No -1120
The code is as follows :
        Dim sRequete As String
        Dim errCode As Long
        Dim errMsg As String
        Dim IdField As Integer
        Dim oUFields As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
        oUFields = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields)
        Dim oRecordSet As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
        oRecordSet = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
        sRequete = "SELECT FieldID FROM CUFD where TableId = '" & pNomTable & _
                   "' and AliasID = '" & pNomChamp & "'"
        oRecordSet.DoQuery(sRequete)

                End If
            End If
        End If
             System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUFields)
        oRecordSet = Nothing
    End Sub
Anyone knows why i am getting this error.
Thanks
Laurent.

Hi Laurent
That error you are getting is the error that you get is when there is more than one instance of meta data object open. You see only one metedata object can be open at a time.....if it's higher than zero it means others are available. I see you have,
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUFields)
oRecordSet = Nothing
this is good and what closes the meta data object. But check that you have done this in previous funtions where you might of added other things.Also your recordset, close it before adding.....move oRecordSet = Nothing to before your Remove of the field. that has be the case for me before. Do it without the recordset as a test and you'll see it works.
Hope it helps

User defined fields in Crystal layout

Hi All,
I want to add user defined field values in crystal layout for Sales order, but its not listed in RDR1 tables there but it's available in SAP query manager view. How can i get that in Crystal reports. please suggest on this.
Regards
Sree

You can then remove the key and the fields in the database will keep their correct definitions rather than varchar(max) which is causing the initial problems.
Adding extra keys may uause performance issues if you leave them there for a large table.
I have also had issues of varchar(max) fields causing database connection issues when running the reports in 8.81 PL07.

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.

User defined field in SD and its link to Value field in COPA (??)

Dear All,
We have created one "Z" field i.e. user defined field and its in VBRP Table. This is a quantity field. to update the values in this field we have used an exit in sales and distribution module. Now, by defining this exit values are correctly populated in VPRP table on line item basis.
Requirement here is we need to get this field in COPA, for same i have carried out the quantity field assignment to value field (KE4M).
Even after this configuration profitability segment is not updated.
Regards,
Sayujya
Edited by: sayu on Mar 15, 2010 10:13 AM

In the past I did something similar and had to use function module EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001 in enhancement COPA0002 to populate the field. To use this exit you'll first need to add a user exit id to your valuation strategy (transaction KE4U). The help on the function module is pretty good, but if you run into a problem let me know.
thanks,

Adding user defined field in print layout design of Bill of matrial Report

I want to add "Drawing No" which is user defined field in Bill of Material report need immediate help .

Hi,
If you add the UDF in BOM-Title then the UDF will be in OITT table.
If you add the UDF in BOM-Rows then the UDF will be in ITT1 table.
You will find BOM-Title or BOM-Rows in Production Module (ie., in User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields)
In PLD, You can print the UDF if you search in the above said tables.

How to change the text of a user defined field in dynamic selections?

Logical Database PSJ is used by t code CJI3 - we added a couple of user fields into the dynamic selections of CJI3.
Now - how to change the text of this user filed (USR01 of structure PRSP_R in logical database PSJ)?
Found an OSS note - 86980 - that tells that this is not possible.
But when we read the documentation on the user field (CJI3 - dynamic selections - double click on user field - F1), it shows the following text:
User-defined field in which you can enter general information with a length of up to 20 characters.
Dependencies
The names (key words) for user-defined fields depend on the field key.
Now the question is where to change the field key..
Thanks,
Ven

Madhu - you did not get the question I think.
Anyways - I found an OSS note 1266643 - this code change should take care of the issue - it will then reflect the details maintained in custoizng at transaction code OPS1..
Thanks,

User-defined field in existing table

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to add a user-defined field in an existing table.
Actually, I would like to add a combobox with other types of partners than vendors, customers and leads and add a user-defined field in the OCRD table.
Thank you
Regards,
Thibault

Hello,
Your answers help me a lot !
My code is working, i.e. when I create a new BP and choose another type in my comboBox, the information is saved.
When I search a BP who has this type, SAP find the good BP.
But, I don't see where the data is stored, I don't see anything which make the difference between 2 BP with 2 different types in the OCRD table.
So, where SAP can make the difference?
Thank you

Plz help me out on this issue.

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.
