Need to creat filter to the BADI

Hi All,
We are trying to create one implementation to the BADI DPR_CONTROLPLAN,as this BADI is filter dependent so at the time of saving its prompting for Filter.
I have given one filter to the define filter section, but I am not able to understand how I can use the filter to my program.
And I am not sure what filter I have given is the right one because I have not defined the data element and domain to the filter.
Can any one please suggest me how I can create the filter for my implementatin and use it??
Thanks in advance.
Reagrds,
Sandy.

Thanks Sesh.
In order to use the filter to the implemenation, do I need to create any variable of the type FLT_VAL and add to the DEFINED FILTER SECTION??
Regards,
Sandy.

Need to create filter in reports

hi ,
i need to create a filter on my report .
the filter for field contract end date.
for exammple - the object which i need to create the filters (HDREN_DT -
Remove records with value < System Date
) this is the logic so what i need to do i want to go for customer exit or what
need to create 2 CKF
Earliest Doc Header End Date Calculated KF Min (HDREN_DT)
Oldest Doc Header End Date Calcualted KF Max (HDREN_DT)
Can anyone give some idea how can i go with this one.
i choosen a formula variable with replacement path for the both the fields. whether this option is right or wrong.
please help me in this one
Regards ,
vijju

Hi,
You have correctly identified.
To achieve the filter on HDREN_DT, you can declare an exit variable & write the code behind. But here I'd suggest implementing logic like Date greater than or equal to System date (instead of removing dates less than System date as it will improve the querying.
For the 2 CKFs, you can try the formula variable concept.

Create filter from the actual email-message?

Hello everyone! I keep gettnig LOADS of spam from different user emails different subjects etc.
I would like to create a filter that searches the actual message for a word. I thought "body" did that but appearently it doest.
For example, i want to filter out all the emails mentioning "free" and "Casino" INSIDE the message.
Or russian letters. Any ideas?

"Mottagaren har nu hämtat ut ditt brev." sounds like Swedish? I have no idea about Swedish.
Try these steps: 
Select the received message in the message pane. 
From the main menu bar: Message - Create Filter from Message 
In the windows which opens enter a name for your new filter. 
Select 'Body' from the top left drop down-menu. 
Select 'Contains' from the drop-down menu right next to it. 
Enter the search word into the text box. 
Choose an action from the bottom left drop-down menu. 
Save the filter and activate it.

Not a question, but a suggestion on updating software and best practice (Adobe we need to create stickies for the forums)

Lots of you are hitting the brick wall in updating, and end result is non-recoverable project. In a production environment and with projects due, it's best that you never update while in the middle of projects. Wait until you have a day or two of down time, then test.
For best practice, get into the habit of saving off your projects to a new name by incremental versions. i.e. "project_name_v001", v002, etc.
Before you close a project, save it, then save it again to a new version. In this way you'll always have two copies and will not loose the entire project. Most projects crash upon opening (at least in my experience).
At the end of the day, copy off your current project to an external drive. I have a 1TB USB3 drive for this purpose, but you can just as easily save off just the PPro, AE and PS files to a stick. If the video corrupts, you can always re-ingest.
Which leads us to the next tip: never clear off your cards or wipe the tapes until the project is archived. Always cheaper to buy more memory than recouping lost hours of work, and your sanity.
I've been doing this for over a decade and the number of projects I've lost? Zero. Have I crashed? Oh, yeah. But I just open the previous version, save a new one and resume the edit.

Is it possible to use the BAdi: BADI_SD_CUST_HEAD?

Dear experts,
I have a requirement that needs to add some customized fields in both the header and item of a billing.
I found there are 2 badis in the system, they're: BADI_SD_CUST_HEAD, BADI_SD_CUST_ITEM, and it seems that they're very appropriate to fulfill the requirements.
But unfortunately, these 2 badis are marked as 'Within SAP', that means I can not create any impletementation for them.
Coudl any body tell me, is it possible to use these 2 Badis to realize my requirements?
If not, could any other way to enhance some fields in both the header and item of a billing?
Thanks a lot for your reply!
regards,
Brian Liu

Hi,
No Only sap can create implementations for the BADIs where you have that check box checked.
Check the below thread:
LINK[Additional Screen In Sales Order]
There are many threads which discuss the same requirment searching SCN would be very helpful.

Do I need to create billing for FD (free delivery) sales order

Hi
I have a question. I created first a sales order (FD) in our sap system. but I don't know whether I need to create billing for the FD order. when I try to create billing for this FD order, SAP cannot to process it.
I also research configuration. in VOV8, SAP not set billing function.
thanks
Henry

Hi henry
If you have created Free of charge delivery (FD) sales order then the item category will be KLN only.After PGI then stock level will reduce and the effect of the stock is that you are issuing stock to customer at free of charge.And as you have assigned cost center then the data will flow to the controlling area and the Financial document after PGI.
Secondly if you assign TANN as a item category and do delivery and then PGI then if the reference document is different then it will have affect as the KMN and TANN item categories doesn't have same features

How to raise an exception in the badi

Hi friends..I've got the badi to be used for my object.Badi workorder_confirm
requirement is " if data is entered in one field leaving a field emprty,it should give an error message saying "Field is mandatory". I can make use of ERROR_WITH_MESSAGE exception for the message to be generated..
but dont know the syntax of it..please provide me with the statement how the message needs to be raised

Looking at the BAdI Documentation it says this:
Note that in the methods, no system messages may be sent. The only
exceptions are the AT_SAVE and AT_CANCEL_CHECK methods. Within these
methods, a system message may be issued, but only if you trigger the
exception ERROR_WITH_MESSAGE (for AT_SAVE method) or NOT_ALLOWED (for
AT_CANCEL_CHECK method) at the same time.
Note also, that within the methods the "commit work" instruction may not
be carried out because this would lead to incorrect data in the
database.
So the only thing you can do is use:
RAISE ERROR_WITH_MESSAGE.

Query on creating "Lead" from the Flat file

Hi Group,
I was trying to use the BAPI "BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI" to create the lead.
I have a requirement for creating the Lead... and I have a few questions on creating the Lead like:
1)Does this Lead creation happen with the Business Partners or it has no
in no way connection with the Business Partners?
2)My requirement is that, I need to create leads for the records of the input file
which I get from the User and this looks like this with the fields as:
Sales prospect; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; Priority; contact person; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; and Priority.
(ie., 12 different input fields starting with Sales Prospect to Priority ).
In Sales Prospect, I will give the Business Partner # and also in the Contact Person.
Could you pls let me know how my requriement can be fulfilled( probably with some other code ).
Please give me your valuable suggestions on this to move further. And also, please give me some sample code to build this requirement.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Check the return structure in the BAPI if it contains only success message, then try giving CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' passing essential parameters immediately after the create bapi call.

Need to create a filter in BADI

Hello Experts,
Iu2019ve a requirement and according to it I need to Create a filter BUKRS in the BADI definition which makes the BADI call acceptable only when Company Code is XXXX and XXXX.
Can somebody tell me which BADI I should use?
Thanks,

Hello.
If it is a custom BADI please check the box available in BADI definition (SE18) attributes.
Step1 - Check the check box Filter in BADI attributes. So that I will enables the filter field and there you need to choose BUKRS.
Step2 - By doing step1 system adds one more parameter flt_XX to all the methods available in BADI definition.
Now you need to pass this variable when you are calling the proxy call in the actual application.
If it is standard BADI you need to check the filter dependent BADIs so that you can impliment them for specific Countries.
All the best. Let me know if you need any more help.

PO Held:On activating BUS2201 filter in the Doc change BADI implementation

Hello All,
I am facing an strange issue with SRM Local POs while using the BADI : BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for Local POs. We are using SRM 5.0 version with extended classic scenario and the service POs are created directly when the SC is completely approved i.e. without the 'Sourcing Cockpit' step.
The BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI implementation needs to be enhanced with BUS2201 filter for introducing custom changes in the SRM Local PO. This implementation is currently active in the system with other filters.
However, whenever the implementation is enhanced with the BUS2201 filter, after ordering the service SC the SRM PO goes strangely in the held status ! If the filter is removed, the SRM POs are created successfully without going in held status.
On checking the PO in the SRM Portal the error thrown is "Select a location to which a plant has been assigned" and when checked on the BBP_PD it is found that the Partners data is altogether missing on the SRM PO!!
What could be the possible resolution for this issue? What could be done to get the BADI implmentation working with BUS2201 filter activated ?
Any pointers/suggestions/comments towards this direction are more than welcome!
Best Regards.
Khaja.

Do we need to create a bapi, badi and how can I use them

Hi all,
Please write me about the topics at subject.
Will I use BAPI with Java or C# or VB, whatever...
And for example for what I will use BADI.
Could you provide me code sample to use these?
Thanks.

Hi,
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
I have answered this question before..
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Example Code
U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest
exceptions
connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
others = 3.
call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
exporting
clsid = g_c_clsid
typelib = g_c_typelib
importing
instid = g_f_oid
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest

%instid = g_f_oid
%method = 'UpdatePDF'
sntemp = g_v_const_filent

%return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg

BADI(Business Add-In) is the object oriented method of user exits...
Each BAdI has a definition and more than one implementation. The definition means the methods(in class concept) that are used for performing various functions. The BAdI definition can be viewed in SE18 transaction(for standard ones) and user-defined BAdIs can be created in the same transaction as well.
When you create a BAdI definition, an class interface will be automatically created and you can define your methods in the interface. The implementation of the methods can be done in SE19 transaction

Need To Create a table in Sql Server and do some culculation into the table from Oracle and Sql

Hello All,
I'm moving a data from Oracle to Sql Server with ETL (80 tables with data) and i want to track the number of records that i moving on the daily basis , so i need to create a table in SQL Server, wilth 4 columns , Table name, OracleRowsCount, SqlRowCount,
and Diff(OracleRowsCount - SqlRowCount) that will tell me the each table how many rows i have in Oracle, how many rows i have in SQL after ETL load, and different between them, something like that:
Table Name OracleRowsCount   SqlRowCount  Diff
Customer                150                 150
0
Sales                      2000                1998
2
Devisions                 5                       5
0
(I can add alot of SQL Tasks and variables per each table but it not seems logicly to do that, i tryid to find a way to deal with that in vb but i didn't find)
What the simplest way to do it ?
Thank you
Best Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
According to your description, what you want is an indicator to show whether all the rows are inserted to the destination table. To achieve your goal, you can add a Row Count Transformation following the OLE DB Destination, and redirect bad rows to the Row
Count Transformation. This way, we can get the count of the bad rows without redirecting these rows. Since the row count value is stored in a variable, we can create another string type variable to retrieve the row count value from the variable used by the
Row Count Transformation, and then use a Send Mail Task to send the row count value in an email message body. You can also insert the row count value to the SQL Server table through Execute SQL Task. Then, you can check whether bad rows were generated in the
package by querying this table.

Mike Yin

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
