Metadata Methodology in SRM 7.0

Hello,
I'm a new developer to SAP and even newer to SRM. I have a requirement to modify a dynpro to default some values and hide some other fields in the SC line item dynpro specifically /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_I_LIM.
We've determined that Metadata Methodology best suits our need for this enhancement. I'm not familiar with the technique and would like to know if the SRM guru's out there have any suggestions on where to look. I'm assuming the changes I'll be making are from the SE80 perspective.
Any information provided will be very helpful and result in p-o-i-n-t-s that's not enough perhaps a bottle of Scotch will do.
Many Thanks!

Hi,
- Adding Custom fields in Item is handled by Standard metadata -
1, Add custom filed to structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF
2, Metadata can be maintained in views in SM30 for custom fields in Item details, Account Assignment, and Header fields in SC,
PO, INV etc. eg: /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC for adding custom fields in SC item details.
3, Field control can be done by adding u2018Dynamic customer control classu2019.
-Hiding the fields-
1. Open the relevant Shopping Cart in Portal
2. Right click on the Field and find out the Technical Details of the Component
3. Click on Technical Help to see the Technical details of the component and get the field id .We can make use of this field information to make the Meta data changes in the maintenance View.
4, Go to Transaction SM30 and enter View /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC
5, Fill the Field name and Business Object BUS2121 (For shopping Cart) ,make the field invisible on the screen.
Now SAVE the entry. (Ensure to keep Field Visible, Enabled & Required properties as unchecked as per your requirment)
Hope it will be useful

Currently we are working in SRM 7.0. extended classic scenario. While creating a limit item at PO level we are unable to control the custom feilds in general data tab.

Field 'Goods Receipt / Performance of Service' in 'Related Documents' Tab of PO Item in SRM

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where I need to make 'Goods Receipt / Performance of Service' in 'Related Documents' Tab as non-editable based on certain fields on the PO Item.
On searching SDN, I found that this can be done via SPRO in the below path SPRO->SRM Server->Cross application basic settings->Extension and field Control -> Configure field control -> configure control for fields at item level.
But here in this I am finding difficulty on using the Dyn. Customer Class and method.
Please help us on how to find the relevant standard CLass and Method.
I am new to SRM Programming.
Appreciate your inputs on this.

Hello,
have a look at SPRO:
SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) > Configure Field Control > Display Standard Metadata Tables for Item Fields > Display Delivered Metadata Table for Item Fields.
Here, for object type BUS2201, you can see standard dynamic control class name is /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_DYN_MDF_IT_PO.
You need to do your own field control configuration using specific class and method based on the standard one seen above.
Then, assign this class/method:
SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) > Configure Field Control > Configure Control for Fields on Item Level > Metadata for Fields on Item Level.

SRM 7.0 Add Fields in Account Assignment Table

Hi SRM Gurus,
I am working on SRM7.0.
I want to add two fields in Account Assignment Table in Account assignment tab of Shopping cart Item.
I can do it using WebDynpro Enhancement framework , i.e.
1) Create an append structure for Structure INCL_EEW_PD_ACC_CSF
2) Enhance WebDynpro Component : /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC - Component controller node
3) Map this with View V_DO_ACCOUNTING Node
4) Create the necessary Table Columns and Column editors in Account Assignment Table
However i think using SPRO configuration and enhancing few structures also this can be achieved.
Can anyone guide me on how can i achieve it without creating WebDynpro ABAP Enhancement?
Regards,
Ashish Shah

I've never done it with account data, but yes with header and item.
I think in this case you need to add these fields in SPRO:
SAP Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Cross-Application Basic Settings --> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) --> Configure Field Control --> Configure Control for Fields of Substructures --> Metadata for Fields of Substructures and Table-Like Enhancements
Adding the fields with "Set Type" = 31 Accounting...

Questions about SAP's SRM capabilities

SRM Experts, I have two questions:
In SAP, is it possible:
1. To have "Amount Only Requisitions", that is, specify requisitions that enable requesters to order goods and services specifying only a dollar amount and not quantity.
2. Reopen Closed Requisitions and Purchase Orders, that is, re-open ANY previously closed requisition or purchase order, not only those from the last batch of the Close
Reconciliation process.
Thanks!

Ok let me try...
1) One of the Key building blogs will be the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1. Its provides the ES Repository for Service Metadata and the ES Registry for the Service Endpoints. The Registry you use for finding and classifcation of your services. Any yes XI/PI could be used as ESB.
Another keybuilding block is the SAP NetWeaver Composition Enviroment 7.1. This one is used at Design and Runtime for Composite Process, Composite Views and Composite Application which consume Enterprise Services.
2) WS-Poilcy, WS-Adressing and BPEL is defenetly supported with PI 7.1(release planned for september 2007)
3) This a part of the NetWeaver Composition Enviroment. For Monitoring you need brokered Service communication... in this case you can use PI as integration Broker which is able to monitor your communication.
4) Exacutable Business Process(BPEL) are supported by PI 7.1
You are able to Design these processes with the Design tools of the PI.
For Highlevel Process modeling ARIS for SAP Netweaver is integrated.
So from High Level Process models drill down to theService Operations are all part of the Enterprise Service Repository and can be used to realise you business tasks.
5) SAP provide the ES Workplace and SAP Discovery System for Enterprise SOA

GRC BO AC 10.0 Risk Analisys & Role management from SRM

Hi Gurus,
Anyone know if GRC AC 10.0 can analyze and manage (create/modify) the SAP SRM (Portal Based) Role and User?
Thank you,
Luigi

Hi Vishal,
The parameters will be invoked in different scenarios. 1085 is specific to when roles are generated in the SAP Backend system using risk terminator and therefore this will have no impact if you are using BRM to generate the roles.
3011 & 3014 are specific to BRM and govern different behaviours. 3011 will facilitate the risk analysis prior to triggering the generation steps in the methodology and 3014 will allow the roles to be generated despite any permission risks that are returned.
They are not exclusive and actually work together. For instance, you may want to have a block on generation of roles when there are open conflicts identified and therefore you should have 3011 set to YES and 3014 set to NO. If both are set to YES, then you could propagate conflicts in the roles.
You can use Risk Terminator if you wish to continue to develop roles within the SAP system itself rather than to rely on the GRC BRM system wholly.
There are still wide discussions and differing opinions about which represents the best approach for this and so it depends on your organisation as to which process you follow.
The parameter descriptions in question are:
1085 - Stop Role Generation if violations exist
3011 - Conduct Risk Analysis before Role Generation
3014 - Allow role generation with Permission Level violations

Disable GL Account Field for editing in the Shopping Cart SRM 7.0

Hi,
We would like to disable the GL Account field for editing only on the Shopping Cart Approval Screen. I tried to implement this through configuration of Metadata Dynamic Class in SPRO->SRM Application Server ->Cross Application Basic Settings->Extension & Field Control ->Configure Control for Fields of substructure. But the class is not getting triggered.
Any help would be appreciated. We are on SRM 7.0
Thanks
Raghav

Hi Rohit,
Try to activate the view and component and then see. If this does not works, create an enhancement for the view and write the below code in method WDDOMODIFYVIEW
DATA btn_confirm TYPE REF TO cl_wd_button.
btn_confirm ?= view->get_element( 'AUTO_CONFIRMATION' ).
if btn_confirm is BOUND.
btn_confirm->SET_TEXT( value = 'Confirmation' ).
endif.
This code will set the button text as 'Confirmation' .

Adding custom fields to shopping cart in SRM 7.0

Hi My dear Experts,
I am having big doubt also a lot of confussion as per my understanding regarding adding custom fields to SC.
I believe,
i) It can be achieved by configuration in spro with respect to Meta data frame.
i,e Configure field control->configure control for fields on Header/Item level
after that
configure customer fields->Define cistomer fields on Header/Item level.
ii) I also doubt fields can be added through Webdynpro enhancement of standard component.
Pls clarify my doubt with little detail which is the best way to achieve my requirement ??
Is Webdynpro Enhancement really needed ??

Hi ,
   Example for Adding fields in SC accounting Tab ...follow the below example
1. Add custom field ZZTESTACCT in   structure   INCL_EEW_PD_ACC_CSF by using append structure.
2. Spro ->Supplier Relationship Management u2192 SRM Server u2192 Cross application basic settings u2192 Extensions and field controls (personalization) u2192 Configure field control ->Configure Control for Fields of Substructures
then click on "Metadata for Fields of Substructures and Table-Like Enhancements"
add the below entry
Bus. Object Set Type : 31
Structure Field Name : ZZTESTACCT
Bus. Object Type       : BUS2121
Set Level                    : Item
Field Visible : Check box should be checked
Field Enable : check box should be checked
if you create the above entry then you can see ZZTESTACCT field in the accounting tab.
Second point :
WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW is a Badi you can implement this badi for the WD component and View to handle the UI elements.

Devi

Hello Devi Prasad,
Thanks for reply!
I checked the given method in debug mode.
This method is getting called before assiging supplier. I can see that all custom fields are available in the internal table at the time of debug.
Now the process is, when I enter any supplier between range 000-999 and click on asisgn supplier button, my custom fields will appear on the SOS tab. Now when I enter any value in these fields and click on any other Tab or Order the shopping cart all custom fields value get cleared and does not store values in it.
My requirement is to hold these values in custom fields till I order the shopiing cart and after Order these values should be stored in the database.

Yogesh
