New screen in ME23N with BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hello to all developers,
I was able to add a new (sub-)screen in the header data ME23N.
All fields are shown.
When I switch the mode to "CHANGE", all fields disappear and of course no tab is shown.
If someone has an idea, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check if in the PBO module of the custom subscreen you have set SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 1 or SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.
Also check if the screen has been properly subscribed in method SUBSCRIBE (i.e., remove all transaction type checks from this method).
Since the screen and tab is being displayed in ME23N, it should also be displayed in ME21N (or create mode) and in ME22N (or change mode). The only condition under which the tab and screen might not appear is, if any checks based on the T-code or Transaction type is done and SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 1 or SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0 have been set.
And if you are using OOPS concept in handling the PBO and PAI, then check if the proper values are set using different methods of the class.
Hope this helps.

Abhisek.

Add new screen in ME23N with BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hi folks, I have used the BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST to add a custom tab in transaction ME23N.
So good, sor far, I know how to used BADI and it works very well. I had to subscribe my own subscreen in the method subscribe of the interface, but something is boring me and I don't know if it's possible.
Let's say I want to display my new tab according to the purchasing document type. Right now, my custom tab is always display. There is no method to unsubscribe a screen in the interface. What I could do is to used the get parameter id 'BES' in the subscribe method to get the current purchasing document display, then from there I could decide if I subscribe or not my own screen. The thing with the subscribe method is that it's only called once, when you enter in the transaction, if you stay in the transaction and select another purchasing document, this method will not be called.
thanks
Alex

Hi Alexandre,
First get the current Purchase Order Number using parameter ID 'BES' in the PBO of the custom subscreen.
Then based on validation checks set SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 1 and SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0 and MODIFY SCREEN for all the screen fields.
This will hide all the fields and eventually the tab may also disappear. This works for Screen Exits (i.e., if all the fields of a tab are made to disppear then the tab also disapears if is the tab is defined using Screen Exit). But I have never tried it out in a BADI.
Try this, it might work.
Hope it helps.

I have the 5.5 Lightroom software on my I-Mac with OS-X, 10.9.3. It seems I have lost 850 pictures I was developing. It all started when was adding a folder. A new screen came up with no photos. I went back to my external drive, trying to open the folder (containing the pictures I was working on), an icon "Thumbs" came up. When I click on it, a message "can't find the application" came up, there is no picture to be found. Please help. Frustrated-George

SOLUTION: tab not showing in ME21N/ME22N with badi ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hi,
I implemented BADI's ME_GUI_PO_CUST and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to show a custom tab in the header section of ME21N, ME22N and ME23N.
But after implementing the BADI's, the tab showed up in ME23N, but not in ME21N and ME22N.
So I started looking for a solution in the SDN forum, and I saw that there were a LOT of people with the same problem, but nobody ever posted a solution.
So here is the solution:
So, I added the fields I wanted to show in the structure CI_EKKODB, implemented the BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST (the methods SUBSCRIBE and MAP_DYNPRO_FIELDS), and the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
After that the tab showed up in ME23N, not in ME21N or ME22N.
So I found an SAP note saying the following:
Question:
I implemented the 'ME_GUI_PO_CUST' Business Add-In to display customer-
specific tab titles in the EnjoySAP purchase order. They are only shown in display mode (ME23N) however, not in create or change. Why?
Solution:
You may have forgotten to assign a field status to the user-defined fields on these tabs. As a result, the system automatically interprets the field status as 'hidden' in create and change modes. However if a tab contains only hidden fields, then the entire tab is set to hidden. In display mode, fields without a field status are automatically set to display. That is why the tab is displayed in this case.
To assign a field status to the user-defined fields, use the methods provided for this purpose in the Business Add-In 'ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST' (compare sample source code in the FIELDSELECTION_ITEM method).
So in my case, I had to add some code to the FIELDSELECTION_HEADER method of the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
This is the code:
method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~FIELDSELECTION_HEADER.
DATA: l_persistent TYPE mmpur_bool.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> LIKE LINE OF ch_fieldselection.
* if the item is already on the database, we disallow to change field badi_bsgru
l_persistent = im_header->is_persistent( ).
*   IF l_persistent EQ mmpur_yes.
    READ TABLE ch_fieldselection ASSIGNING <fs> WITH TABLE KEY metafield = mmmfd_cust_01.
    IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      <fs>-fieldstatus = '*'. " Input
    ENDIF.
*   ENDIF.
endmethod.
But then, I realized that this BADI was never triggered. When I entered one of the transaction codes ME21N, ME22N or ME23N, the code in the fieldselection_header method was never executed.
So I went to transaction SE18, and entered ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST in 'Enhancement Spot' and pushed the button display.
And there in the tab 'Enhancement Implementations', I saw an implementation that was not mine, and that did not show up in the overview of the SE18 'BADI NAME' tab for the same BADI... which to me seems strange.
So as you may know, there can never be more than one active implementation of the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
So I disactivated my implementation and put my code in the existing implementation.
And after that it worked!

Custom screen not displaying using BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hello Experts,
I was working on BAD ME_GUI_PO_CUST to add custom subscreen on header
I have created a subscreen ZNRD_SAPMEGUI_PO with number 9999.
I have created implementation of ME_GUI_PO_CUST as ZME_GUI_PO_CUST.
I have added screen details to the BADI.as follows
CALLPROGRAM = SAPLMEGUI.
Scr No = 1102
Subscreen area = TABSTRIPCONTROL2SUB
Program called = ZNRD_SAPMEGUI_PO
Scr no = 9999.
Now to the method SUBSCRIBE to the implemented BADI ZME_GUI_PO_CUST
I have wriiten the following codes.
method if_ex_me_gui_po_cust~subscribe.
data: ls_subscriber like line of re_subscribers.
if sy-tcode eq ' ME21N' or sy-tcode eq 'ME22N' or sy-tcode eq 'ME23N'.
check im_application = 'PO'.
check im_element = 'HEADER'.
* CLEAR re_subscribers[].
ls_subscriber-name = 'ZNRD_SAPMEGUI_PO'.
ls_subscriber-dynpro = '9999'.
ls_subscriber-program = 'SAPLMEGUI'.
*ls_subscriber-struct_name = 'MEPO_SUBSCRIBERS'.
ls_subscriber-label = 'Customer Data'.
ls_subscriber-position = 10.
ls_subscriber-height = 7.
append ls_subscriber to re_subscribers.
endif.
endmethod.
BADI is active
Now when irun ME21N i dont see the additional custom tab on header coming up.
Please guide will be appreciated.

ENDLOOP.
I created a function group - "ZMMPO1" and created the subscreen 9000 in that. I placed the custom field in that screen. Tha main program of ZMMPO1 is "SAPLZMMPO1".
I created a structure also - "ZMM_PO_CUST_SCREEN".
I want to know whether this is sufficient to display the tab on the screen or am I missing something.
It is mentioned that the implementation of "ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST" is a pre-requisite.
could you lemme know the process please.

"News" screen composite question...

Hi!
Just got FCE. I want to make a NEWS screen (Little box with video composited on colored background) with a person standing in front of a colored background. I have a greenscreen, and I am slowly learning how to do that.
As for the 2 other components....
1. How do I get a colored background (can I use Live type's textures?)How do I put it in the project?
2. How do I get a small video box layered on the screen (with video or pic) to display the "news feature" part?
I would appreciate any help--the tutorial for this does not explain these kind of things. I am VERY new at this---and don't go to school for this--so I have no one to ask.
Ellen

You have a lot of learning to to.
Try this to start with the image sizing question
http://fcpbook.com/Motion%20Control%20in%20FCE.html
As for the textured background, you can create that in LT, and then put it inside FCE on the layer underneath the green screen shot.

New tabs added by Badi ME_GUI_PO_CUST not seen in ME21N and ME22N

Hi All
I am implementing BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST / ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to add additional fields in Purchase Order Header.
The implementation of the BADI ie the Subscreen of the fields to be added appears in Header of transaction ME23N but it does not appear in the transaction ME22N and ME21N.
Can anyone help me on this.How to make the tab appear on screen in transaction ME21N and ME22N.
Thanx.

Dear Friend,
Just go to the Class CL_PO_HANDLER_MM
This is the Super Class for the PO & PR.
If u debug the PO u can see that PO is calling this super class.
For this u want to create Subroutine in the Function Group calling the Screen .
The Problem which u r facing is that the Instance are not yet created for that Cusotmer Data.
Once u created this Subroutine u can see the fields..

Customer screen using BADI : ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hi
I am implementing BADI : ME_GUI_PO_CUST to create custom screen at item level.
Pls tell me the steps to be followed to get custom screen using BADI
Thanks
Vinay.

Hi Vinay,
go to transaction SE18, then enter your BADI.The in menu go to Goto -> Sample Code -> Display. You will see example of implementation of this BADI. All these examples are very well commented. Basically you will have to create your own function group with your new screen and call this screen from methods of BADI.
Cheers

Problems with TRANSPORT_FROM_MODEL in BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST

Hello,
I tried implementing the BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST along with all it's methods and subsequently I also got the custom screen visible in PO header. But problem is whenever I click on this subscreen, the code for the method TRANSPORT_FROM_MODEL doesn't trigger. Instead, it triggers TRANSPORT_TO_DYNP and understandably the methods does nothing because it couldn't fetch any data. Kindly help understanding why TRANSPORT_FROM_MODEL doesn't trigger when I click on the custom tab at PO header and how can I correct the same?
Thanks,
Manuel Chiarelli

Hi Abhishek
but how did You solve this problem. I have the same ...

Modify fields on screen with BAdI?

Hi,
I want to modify/customize a screen (Shopping Cart in SRM) in a way that some fields are displayed, others not. Some people told me that this might be possible using a BAdI. As I have never worked with BAdI technology before, I hope that somebody here can help me a bit.
- Where do I get good documentation on BAdIs?
- Are there any pre-defined BAdIs for modifying screens or would I have to create a new one?
In advance, thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Verena

Hello Verena,
To look for list of Badi, run transaction SE18. Then enter '*' with the dropdown. You can search Badis by the application hierarchy or by Badi name/description. Once you found the correct Badi, run transaction SE19 to create an implementation of the Badi you found using SE18. Are these sound familiar? Yes, SE18 is like transaction SMOD while SE19 is like CMOD in the User exit. Badi is replacing User exit-ie new enhancement developed by SAP should be in terms of Badi. However, this does not means old User exits going away. You still can use user exits provided by SAP.
So when you are searching for enhancement that you can use to intercept SAP standard program, you can search by Badi (SE18) or User exit (SMOD).
Badi or User exit are delivered by SAP for giving customer an opportunities to change a little bit the standard way SAP process. You can't simple create a new BADI, it has to be delivered by SAP. You can implement a Badi given by SAP.

IMac 8.1 3.06 GHz w/6 MB Ram, Lion and dead HD? all I get is "Gray Screen w/wirlie gig" but now for a new twist a circle with a diagonal line, like don't go. Is this a DEAD HD?

          I have a iMac 8.1 3.06 GHz w/6 MB Ram, and was running Mac OS X 10.6.8. My 500 GB WD5000AAKS was about 90% full. I had an issue with the admin password, it would not accept any of my known passwords. I ran for a while on the fingerprint reader I had, we have two users on the machine in our home. I tried many attempts to fix this problem without success I came up with a plan. That plan was a new HD, used a 2TB Samsung. plan worked like a charm. Installed a 4 GB Ram Chip and the new Samsung, formatted it, loaded Snow Leopard, and loaded what was on my Time Machine backup all was good.
          This was early July, then Lion was available I was happy with what I had, I had 1.450 TB of free space. So, what the heck, lets spring for Lion, that even went well for a not even 2 weeks, enough that I had several Time Machine backups.
           Then monitor goes flash, flash then I try a re-boot same gray screen with whirlie gig that I had when the the HD in my MacBook Pro died. Put the old 500 GB WD back in and all was fine, ran for a day. It was OK except back to no password and full. Went down to my local computer shops here in Rayong Thailand and sprung for a New 2 TB WDXXX, put that in, used my Snow Leopard disk to format and load OS X 10.6.8. I though that all was good, the load from Time Machine was slow and the time remaining was changing all the time, took about 3 hrs for about 300 MB that where on the LaCie.
          Now I have a password issue, however it asks for a password reset that it will NOT take and I don’t even get that now. All I get is the infamous “Gray Screen w/wirlie gig” but now for a new twist a circle with a diagonal line, like don’t go. Is this a DEAD HD? I plan to re-install the old 500GB just to systems check and if all is well I will take the “NEW” 2 TB WD back for replacement. I am thinking that I should put the new HD in and format and load Snow Leopard then up date to Lion then do my Time Machine backup. The only problem is does the circle with the diagonal line mean something more? If so how does one recover Lion with no disk if that is what I need to do. Yes, I have tried control “R” on boot, nadda, no response, “mai dee” no good. Ideas, please.

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

Brand new Ipod touch bought yesterday - Screen is frozen with an itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh or restore ipod. Computer and itunes does not recognize ipod.

This is first Ipod for me - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?

Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes. Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
