Negative values for Custom field in SAP coding block !

Hi All,
Hope all of you are doing fine.
I need your valuable suggestion/possible workaround for the following requirement.
u2022 The project requires me to add a custom new field to SAP coding block, which can take negative numeric values.
u2022 The standard u201Caddition of custom fieldu201D configuration allows me to have the data type of the newly added custom field as either NUMC or CHAR. NUMC data type does not allow negative values. Standard configuration does not allow me to choose other data types (for custom field addition) like QUAN which can allow negative values (by checking the Sign at domain level in data type).
u2022 Moreover, once I have added the custom field, itu2019s not possible to change the data type of the newly added field (say from NUMC to QUAN).
I wanted to know if anyone of you have any project experience/knowledge about possible workaround, where we can add a custom field in SAP coding block, which can accept negative numeric values (through standard configuration or otherwise).

No experience on that, but I strongly advise you to not trying to do something else than what was designed by SAP. So, you can create a character type field, with for example a field exit (though this technology is obsolete, it's very useful in that case) to validate its content (and reformat it if needed).
Note that from a functional perspective, I think an amount is strange in the coding block, so maybe ask the functional people to know why they need it...

Value for customized fields didn't get copied to back end system

Hi,
We are in SRM 4.0 and using extended classic scenario.
We have defined two customized fields in account assignment tab in shopping cart and SRM Po and also in back end PO.
SRM POs are having values for the field but while transferring the Po details to back end system, for some of the line items of the Po the entries are missing in back end system.
Problem is only with few line items of the PO.
Have tried with FM like BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC and BBP_PD_SC_RESUBMIT, but it is not transfering the values to back end.
Is there any other way to push the missing values to back end system.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Sk,
Table adjustment has to be done accordingly. Get in touch with your Basis team.
Thanks.

Transfer OTL to Payroll is not working for Custom Field Values

Hi,
We have Extended the Payroll and Project layout in OTL to include custom fields.
Now linked the fields to Element entries input values.
The issue happens when a retro batch is processed and transfered to Payroll the input values are not getting pulled properly.
i.e. The retro batch creates a positive value for the new retro entry and a Counter negative value for the old record.
Only in the case of Negative value, the issue is happening. For the positive value it is pulling the record properly from the custom fields.
Can you please let me know, how to debug the same.
Also this issue happens randomly not all the employees are facing this issue.
Thanks,
Raja Rajan

Hi Rsn,
just check the put this code in
1st way--
jjust import the api in your custom Action class
import com.sap.isa.core.logging.IsaLocation;
private final static IsaLocation log = IsaLocation.getInstance(ZcustomeAction.class.getName());
then
log.error("value"+value);
in this way you can debug the code...if not possible thenn...
you can write...
System.err.println("value"+value);
you can also try to this way..i think it will work now
Thanks

Saving customer fields to SAP table (EXIT_SAPMM06E_012)

Hi All,
I would like to ask you guys a bit of a help with a user exit that I am working on as of the moment.
I am coding a user exit for a service purchase order (ekpo-knttp = 'K' and ekpo-pstyp = 'D') this is a service purchase order of cost centre category.
Since SAP does not allow the goods recipient (ekkn-wempf) to be modified for reasons specified in SAP Note 118008. I have used user exit MM06E005 FMs EXIT_SAPMM06E_017, EXIT_SAPMM06E_016 to the data in PBO and PAI for the transaction.
Now I tried using the two FMs EXIT_SAPMM06E_018 and EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 to pass this value to the table but it does not seem to get saved in table EKKN.
Using FM EXIT_SAPMM06E_018 the I have maintained the structure CI_EKPODB to include WEMPF and after debugging passing that user exit area the wempf is being tranfered to global data but this does not get saved in EKKN table (EKKN-WEMPF).
Although this is outside of the standard best practice of SAP since the account assingment belongs to the limits or the service line for service order but maintaining this recipient field for the PO item does not impact our system processes as the business acknolwedges goods recipient for service PO.
BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST has also been implemented under method PROCESS_ACCOUNT invoking the interface IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_ACCOUNT_MM but unsucessful in the operation.
If anyone of you guys has encoutered same scenario or implementation requirement please do give information on this or work-arounds are well appreciated as well.
Cheers,
Erwin

Hi,
We have worked on a similar requirement ,just check if its useful to you.
Requirement:
                     You have to add the custom field in SAP standard table EKKO. Then we have to place the field in ME21N screen. When user enters any input into the field it should get updated in the database.
Note:
                     EKKO table is meant for Purchasing document header, you should add the field in the header level for ME21n screen. There you are provided with customer sub screens where you can add the field in the screen.
Procedure:
1You have to create a field in the Custom Include of standard table, after creating activate it.
2.Double click on the include then you can add your custom field here.
Find out the Required Enhancements:
1.Go to SMOD. Press F4 in the Enhancement field. In the next popup window, click pushbutton u2018Information systemu2019.
2.Then mention the particular package name of the transaction you need to      enhance. Then you will be shown the list of Enhancement components for that particular package.
3.Note down the enhancements. Then, come to the initial screen of SMOD and view the documentation of each enhancement to find out which one is required for your development.
MM06E005 is the Enhancement component we are using here.
Development
Creating a Project to include the enhancement:
1.Go to transaction CMOD and create a project.
2.Enter a description for the project.
3.Then, click on the pushbutton u2018Enhancement Assignmentsu2019 in the Application Toolbar.
4.Click on the components in Application Toolbar.
5.Here you will be shown the function module exits, screen exits and Include tables.
6.Click on the custom screen SAPLXMO6 u2013 0101 in which it suits the requirement of adding the custom field to the layout
7.Click on layout and go to get from dictionary and select the field you need to add and click ok.
8.Place the field in the layout and activate it.
9.After that you come back and check the respective function module in which you need to implement the code. So, we need to import the data from sub screen for purchasing document header. Therefore we have chosen the EXIT_SAPMM06E_008.
10. Write code in the Function Exits to synchronize the programs:
                   Now, code has to be written in the function modules EXIT_SAPMM06E_008 so that data flows to and fro between the main SAP program and custom sub screen program. Double clicking on the exit we get the following screen.
11. Double click on the include and write the required code inside it. Then activate it.
TABLES:EKKOIF NOT EKKO_ZADD IS INITIAL.
MOVE EKKO-ZADD to e_ci_ekko-zadd.
move corresponding e_ci_ekko to ekko.
modiky ekko from ekko.
12. Now come back and activate the entire project.
13. Now go to ME21n transaction and create a purchase order by giving all the mandatory fields including custom field we have created. Here Test is the custom field we have created. After entering the data then press SAVE button, your data will be populated to the respective table.
14. Go to SE11 or SE16n, check whether the field got updated in the database or not in EKKO table.
Thanks,Surya Pydikondala.
      Finally it gets updated in the database.

Negative values on customer consignment stock

Hello,
Is it possible to have negative values on customer consignment stock?
i.e. the same material is sent to a customer, as consignment stock
(special stock W), from different plants. If the material is not used
by the customer (then it has not been billed, as it is on consignment),
the customer can return all that stock to only one plant. This means
that the overall stock for that material on customer consignment will
be cero, but the standard SAP does not allow to return to one plant
more quantity than what it was originally sent from that plant.
Is there a possible workaround to this situation?
Thank you.

maybe that you sold more pieces than you had, and the material master allows negative stock on the plant/storage location.
pls. reward points if helpful
regards
Roberto

SDK: adding new value in custom fields

Hello,
I wanted to add new value in custom field of the resource table... I used this code (taken from SDK example) :
//Create and fill request for CustomData Service
SaveCustomDataRequest request = new SaveCustomDataRequest();
List<CustomValue> customData = new ArrayList<CustomValue>();
CustomValue attribute = new CustomValue();
//Field name
attribute.setName("NOTIFICATION_NUMBER");
//value received from ERP
attribute.setValue(notification);
customData.add(attribute);
request.setCustomData(customData);
//table name
request.setObjectAlias("RESRCE");
request.setRef(handle);
customDataService.saveCustomData(request);
But get a validation error, complaining about no ModifiedDateTime providen... How can I initialize this date or avoid the validation ?
I also tried using the ResourceDOService, using the setCustomData method, but same error...
Thanks

I'm using ME 5.2.2.2, sdk 5.0.1.8, for the moment locally on my laptop for development.
There is no stack trace, I can just see the error when debugging :
com.sap.me.frame.domain.RequiredValueValidationException: class com.sap.me.domain.model.CustomFieldDOmodifiedDateTime
The resource exist, I do a read request before to check if the custom field has value or not. Anyway, it's a collaboration plug-in, executed when we change the resource status, so I got the resource handle as input ;o)
I can confirm there are some resource with custom value in other fields with date = null. It occurs when I'm saving the data in the GUI (so entering data's manually in custom field, do a save => fields are not initialized)

How to set a default value for particular field in SRM PO Portal

Dear Gurus,
Im desparetly need a help in web dynpro on how to set a default value for a field(flag) in PO header tab in portal.
My requirement is whenever the user press the edit button in PO screen,automatically a flag field should be set as abap_false.
I dont think this will handle in check badi or change badi. i tried this part in onbuttonpressed overwriteexit in CNR_VIEW views,i can get the function EDIT in debugging mode,but dont know how to proceed further.....
Many of them suggested to go with get attribute and set attribute for changing any particular field in web dynpro,but im not very familiar in using those get and set attributes.I request you people can give me sample code on how to identify my target field in the node and set the values while pressing EDIT Button.
Thanks in advance...

Sathish

Dear Laurent,
Thanks for your response,
But i searched in enhancement spot of WD_BADI, but couldnt get the exact way to change the coding,
My real requirement is, that particular flag should be enable and disable dynamically by checking a condition in my header values.So in that case i dont know how to proceed further to handle in the PO screen.
Kinly guide me how to get the particular node of field in the Purchase order screen.
Thanks you in advance,
Sorry for the inconvenience if any

Can you please help me how to proceed just to fill values using FM.
Your suggestions will be highly rewarded.
Thanks,
Gayathri.

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for your response.
I have specified the FM that are generated while creating the fields, where i dnt find any update or delete.
Further can u explain "you can play with screen config in the AREA MENU code BUPT".
My requirement is to upload data to those fields through pgm for one time.

Ex: If an Invoice Wrok flow is triggered..the Invoice number number will be generated and it will be shown in the Title column.
Now I have a requiremnt of adding a two Custom field as 'Supplier Name' and 'Document number'.
1. Is it possible to add the custom field in SAP Inbox?? if Yes can you guys let me know the procedure?? Also if I add a custom field Can that be controlled for specific work flow?
2. Also I have seen the field Dynamic Columns in in the layout, Can I use that filed to populated the Supplier name and document number?? is Yes how to proceed further?? ( Does the efforts vary for Standard workflow and Custom Work flow??
Your <removed by moderator> response is higly appriciated.
Cheers,
Sriram.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 4, 2011 4:18 PM

Hi Krishna,
To solve your issue, you need to know the linkage between the WF and event.
You can go to t-code SWE2 to find the event linkage between Workflow & Business Object event.
You can also open t-code PFTC, select the task type as Worflow Template and give the TASK / WF number without prefix WS, then go to EVENT tab to know the event.

How to populate custom fields in SAP standard Basic type DELFOR01(E1EDK09)

I've a requirement to include and populate 2 custom fields in SAP standard basic type DELFOR01 and Segment E1EDK09 (it is at hierarchy level 1 ) .
The requirement looks very simple but for this, as per my knowledge, I have to create a new Basic type with the copy of segment E1EDK09 and attach it to outbound process code and write my own function module to populate the segments.
It seems ok but the there are some existing codes in the user-exits for the SAP standard function module.These codes will not get triggered.(Or I've copy the user-exits code in my FM)
Can we do it any other way to handle this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Hi Phani,
You have done it correctly. ECC additional data to be moved to EWM, 1. you need to enhance the CIF for master data/ bapi to populate the data in the custom field in EWM. 2. Make your your are not enhancing only one structure. You need to do it in the CI includes so that the field is available in all the related tables/structures.
3. The BAPI/FM which updated these tables will take care automatically to update the custom field data if the field is correctly added in all the tables.
4. If the custom fields are added correctly and still the data is not getting saved , then need to check the mapping of the custom field and bepi extension.
Let me know if this helps.

Issue with Negative Value for Total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY.

Hi Experts,
we loaded the Cube with datasources 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
We mapped the quanity field from 2LIS_03_BF in transformation either into Key figures "Quantity issued from valuated stock" (0ISSVALSTCK) or "Quantity received into valuated stock" (0RECVALSTCK ) of the cube.
For obtaining the Total Valuated stock, we used the Key figure 0VALSTCKQTY. This key figure is having the Inflow and Out flow values as 0RECVALSTCK and 0ISSVALSTCK. When i tried to check the content of 0VALSTCKQTY, the key figure 0VALSTCKQTY is not present in the infoCube content. I understood that the value for this key figure would be calculated at the time of query execution with the formula
{ Last obtained Valuated stock + (Received Valuated Stock u2013 Issued Valuated Stock ) }.
The issue is the first records in the query is obtained with negative value for the total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY even though the values of Received Valuated Stock and Issued Valuated Stock are with Zero. Could any one please help me on how the first record in the query is with a negative value eventhough the inflow and out flow fields of it are with Zero.
Many Thanks in advance.
Jeswanth

Hi Srini,
I observed an interresting reason for the stock being with negative in the first record.
Issue : While executing the BEx report, we have the first record with a negative value.
Let me explain with an example
Material : XYZ
Plant      : A
Date of Stock Initialization for data source 2LIS_03_BX -
> 12th April 2009.
So on 12 Th April 2009 consider that we have a stock in store with a value of 2640.
Then we have loaded wih Data source 2LIS_03_BF for all Historic Movement types.
At the time of query execution we will have the first record with a negative of available stock present on the day of initialization .
So, as we have initilized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th April 2009, we have at that time a stock of 2640 in availability.
Exactly with the same value of 2640, we are having a negative value i.e. -2640.
and also one more point to be noted is ...as we have initialized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th APril 2009...it has created a
opening balance of 2640 on the day of initiailization i.e on 12 th April 2009 in infocube....(which is an extra record...)...so if the previous record of 12,04,2009 is having some value in it..then it will get added to 2640 EA..which will give incorrect stock
So in the query the records will appear in the below following manner
Calendar Day     Total stock                                                                Received stock                                          Issued Stock
28.12.2005 ---> - 2640 EA
29.12.2005 --->    2000 EA                                                                       640 EA                                                        0
10.04.2009 --->      0                                                                                0                                                               2000 EA
11.04.2009 -
>    0                                                                                0                                                                0
                             (For making
                              the earlier record of initilization to 0 a negative value -2640 EA is created in the first record )
12.04.2009 (Initializtion day) ---> 2640 EA                                                 0                                                                0
13.04.2009
the day before initialization the total stock will be 0 due to the negative effect introduced by the first record and from the day of initialization the records will be the accurate values... On 12 th april 2009 we can see that a stock of 2640 is brought into the total stock. In fact if there is no negative value i.e. -2640 in the first record then ...the value on 11.04.2009 will be 2640 Ea and this will get summed up with the Opening balance of 2640 EA created by 2LIS_03_BX on the day of intitialization. So on 12 .04. 2009 the total stock will be shown as 5280 EA...so in order to prevent the double value only we observed that the first record is created with the negative of available stock present on the initialization ...to make the record before the day of initialization i.e. 11.04.2009...to be 0...so that from 12 th April 2009 ..will start to see the actual total stock in the query result...
This is happening only if we use both the data sources 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF for loading into BW.....
If we load alone by 2LIS_03_BF ...then as 2LIS_03_BX is ruled out in the loading...then no negative of available stock will be created ...because there will be bno opening balance created on the day of initialization.....and the opeing balance available will be flowing into consecutive records due to the movement types and 12 th April 2009 will be shown with avaialable total stock of 2640 EA.
Kindly let us know your opinions on this...
Thanks.
regards,
Jeswanth

Negative Values for Stock Quantity in BI

Dear Experts,
I have a report based on Inventory Management Multiprovider which is executed to check the Valuated Stock Quantity for single day input entry. ( Valuated Stock Qty is a non cumulative Key figure with Inflow as Quantity Received into Valuated Stock and outflow as Quantity Issued from Valuated Stock )
So Valuated Stock Qty for a particular day = (Quantity Received into Valuated Stock till that day) - (Quantity Issued from Valuated Stock till that day). So i think, checking the cube data in BI will not help to resolve the issue.
Issue: : When I execute the report in BI for some dates I am getting Negative Values for Valuated Stock Quantity which is wrong output.
Can this issue be resolved by filling set up tables and loading it to BI, say for last month?
Could you please suggest any other solutions available?
Also it will be helpful if you could explain what needs to be analyzed in ECC side (with T Codes)
Thanks in advance
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
try these transactions on the ECC side:
MMBE to view stock of a material
MB51 to view all material documents for your selection (i.e. material)
The business content stock reporting in BW is mainly using datasource 2LIS_03_BF for movements and 2LIS_03_UM for revaluations. For this to work you will have to have all material documents loaded into your cube.
Also have a look at this How To paper if you haven't yet.
