Limited Logistics users and User Defined Fields - UDF

The SAP "Overview of SAP Business One License User Types" shows, in the last section under General, that only Professional users have any access at all to User-defined fields and tables.
This seems counterintuitive as these fields are usually set up for others to see and to use.
What is the real scoop on this?
Thank you,
Sal

Hi Sal,
It only means Professional User License has unlimited usages of UDF & UDT including managing and defining them.
To read the values and use them are available to all license types.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • Formatted Search in User Define Field (UDF)

    Hello everyone...this is really puzzling and hope someone can help...2007A/000/PL42...
    1. We created a UDF on the OITB Table (Groups) called U_GrpDescrip
    2. We created a UDF on the OITM Table (Item Master) called U_IGrpDescrip
    3. We want the system to auto populate the U_IGrpDescrip (Item) with the value U_GrpDescrip (Group) everytime the Item Group is changed on the Item Master Data Window.
    So,
    1. We wrote this query...SELECT T0.U_GrpDescrip FROM OITB T0 WHERE T0.ItmsGrpCod = $[$39.0.0]
    2. Opened up a Blank Item Master Data Window.
    3. Placed cursor in the new U_IGrpDescrip
    4. Hit ShiftAltF2
    5. Selected "Search in Existing User...Saved Query"
    6. Double clicked on the appropriate FMS Query
    7. Checked the Auto Refresh
    8. Selected Item Group from the displayed list of fields
    9. Selected "Display Saved..."
    10. Update and then closed out the Item Master Data Window
    Now here is where it gets interesting...
    1. We go to the Item Master Window and change the Item Group and hit Update. Button on IMD Window changes to OK.
    2. The U_GrpDescrip from the OITB table does NOT change
    3. However, if we click the "Magnifying Glass" TWICE in the new field on the Item Master Data Window the description DOES change to the appropriate description on the OITB table...
    Can anyone help out here - this is really puzzling because we effectively use Formatted Search on other windows and they work fine, but this one seems to be a horse of another kind..
    Thanks for reading and thanks ahead of time for helping
    Zal

    Hello everyone - thanks for responding...
    I finallly figured out what is happening - and this is interesting
    1.  The field it is supposed to populate is on the main window of the Item Master Data (not on the side window of UDFs).
    2.  The field was placed there with Boyum.
    3.  When I do the formatted search in a test field that IS on the side window, the FS works perfectly.
    So - it seems if you use a FS in a moved field created by Boyum, it might not work - and now I turn my attention to what Boyum is doing.  Might not even need a FS with Boyum!!!
    Thanks to all who read and gave their suggestions - now you get your points!!!
    Take care - Zal

  • OIM user defined field in process form

    I am trying to create a user defined field (UDF) in a process form. The UDF would be a drop down list of values for the status field.
    I've tried to do this by going to the Administration list, and double clicking on User Defined Field Definition. Then selecting the Form Designer. I can add a column but I cannot add values to the drop down. I know I'm probably doing this wrong.
    How do I add a UDF drop down and its values to a process form?
    Thanks!

    1. Create lookup table for the drop down contents.
    2.In the process form--->go to the properties tab-->select the User defined filed name-->add property--->property Name drop down list -->select lookup code-->in the property value-->provide the lookup table name-->save

  • User Defined Fields greyed out for one user

    Hi Experts,
    One of our users is a Super User but on the Business Partner Master Data screen, the User Defined Fields are greyed out.
    This is user specific as the issue is happening for the same user on 2 seperate PCs.
    Other users can update these UDFs - any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Greig

    Hi
    take a look at this SAP Note :
    Cannot access settings for the user defined fields
    Symptom
    Cannot access settings for the User Defined Field(UDF)
    Other terms
    UDF, user defined field, sbo-udf, settings for UDF are inactive, the settings for the udf are greyed out.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Need to use the Settings option to order the udf.
    In Tools -> User Defined fields -> Settings the option 'Settings' is greyed out and inactive.
    Solution
    If in Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option is not available then return to the document and click anywhere in the main document window.
    Now return to Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option will now be active.

  • User Defined Field that gives the date output of the last price update.

    We would like to create a User Defined Field (UDF) with a Formatted Search (FMS) on the Item Master form that gives the date output of the last price update specifically the wholesale price.
    Last Price Update
    Pricelist 2 = Wholesale
    Is this feasible?
    If it is feasible what is the recommended approach?
    Current working UDF on Item Master.
    /* Date output is based on all the latest updates on the Item Master.*/
    select max(updatedate)
    from aitm
    where itemcode = $[oitm.itemcode]

    Thank you Gordon,
    We are looking for the date output of the 'Last Price Update' based on 'Pricelist 2 = Wholesale' which is the challenge.
    These 2 are the parameters for the date output, I should have mentioned that in my original message.
    Last Price Update
    Pricelist 2 = Wholesale
    Per reading a bunch of other similar Forum Questions it looked like it is might not be possible to do. With there being no date on the AIT1 table and AITM.Updatedate is based on any and all updates not just last 'Last Price Update' and not sure how to use the loginstanc.

  • User Define Field

    Hi,
    Just wondering, if any one faced the dilemma as I am facing in reference to User Define field.
    I have user define field and is visible in SBO Interface (Tools - User Defined Field - Manage User Defined field), but unfortunately its not available in XL report writer (Tools - User Defined Fields). Its quite confusing because other user defined field is visible in XL Reporter, but only one is missing. Is there any restriction or can anyone guide to view all the user-defined fields in XL Reporter defined in SBO interface.
    Regards
    Ronald

    Hi,
    There is a pdf file from SAP that explains about the table supported by XL reporter. So, if you made some UDF in the table that is not supported by XL reporter, I think it won't be available in the XL reporter.
    The pdf file title is Support of User-Defined Fields (UDFs) in XL Reporter - SAP Business One 2005A SP01 - March 2006.

  • User-Defined Fields Window

    Hi All,
    I have one issue with the User-Defined Fields window of the ACTIVITY form.
    I had added some user defined fields (UDF) to the Activities so that the User-Defined Fields are displaying in a separate window just near to the Activity window with Type (-651). All the UDFs are bound to the table, "OCLG".
    I want to initialize the values in the User defined fields controls with a text when the form is loading.
    I had tried to do this using
    oForm.Datasources.DBDatasources.Item("OCLG").SetValue("U_CUST",0,"MyValue");When I executed this statement, i am getting HResult error.
    Then I tried this by using UserDataSources.
    The same error repeats.
    But the code with .Specific.String = NewVal is working fine.
    Can you please explain the scenarios that we are able to do it using .Specifc.String. Is this a true method for doing this?
    if not
    please tell me How can we do this using Datasources (DBDatasources/ UserDataSources),?
    Please Help.
    Thank you in Advance
    Anoop

    Anoop,
    when you have created UDF in master item data, the textbox you can see on left side of form (separate form) is bounded already to this field. You cannot rebound it (its system form).
    When you want to change the value, you must use specific.string or specific.value for that textbox (as you wrote), but the calcualted value will be stored into master table (change of udf will set formmode to update mode). If you dont need to update formmode, set the formmode by code to normal mode.
    hope it helps

  • Ceartion of User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES

    Hi Experts,

    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.

  • 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,

  • User-Defined Fields and Form Settings

    I have a User-Defined Field in the table "OCLG" and I'd like to show it in the "Activities Overview for Business Partner - xxx" window.
    Is possibile to do that by the "Form Settings" window? Here I don't find U-D Fields. Is there a way to show them?
    Or is there an other solution?

  • How to use User Options and User-Defined Fields in DC Group function?

    Dears,
    As title, when should I use above fields?  I did not see the related information in SAPME help library.
    Thanks!

    The user options fields are just information fields you can store at the Data Collection Maintenance activity. You can think of these as extra information fields for storage purposes only.  I can't give you a use case except to say 'information fields' only.
    With regards to the User-Defined fields in DC Group - you can think of these as extra data fields to be collected.  They will appear immediately underneath the data parameter they are defined in in the DC Plug-in for the POD.  They do not have limits but are just extra pieces of data you may want to collect about the specific parameter.

  • Is it possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager

    HI,
    I would like to know whether it is possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager row level.
    Manage user defined field there is only provision for <b>pick list</b> and not for <b>Pick and pack</b>.
    Regards
    Krishna

    The Pick and Pack Manger doesn't relate to any specific table (nothing saved to the database), so it does not make any sense having a userdefiend field on it. I would guess that you could add a column and bind it to a userdatasource (not a SAP database field), but if this make any sense depends on what you are trying to achive...
