Process to populate the new field added by AET in Sales Order item

Question

Hi
We are on CRM 7.0 , EP1.
I have added a new field in Sales order item view (UI comp : BT115IT_SLSO  , View :Items).
The field is called MTO (made to order), it should be populated based on settings in material master.
I would like to know how can I populate this field with custom logic.
Thanks

Dear Swapnil,
You can use the following steps to set the default value in field Made To Order:
1. Enhance Component BT115IT_SLSO and View Items
2. Redefine method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method of the View Controller Class and implement the following sample code:
super->do_prepare_output( ).
if iv_first_time = abap_true.
lr_ent->set_property_as_string( iv_attr_name = 'ZXXX'    " Attribute Name
                         iv_value        = 'YYYY'  )     " Value to be set
endif.
This will make sure that the logic to set the value in this field is called only once and not after every event.
You might not like to redefine the Getter and Setter method because these methods will be triggered after each event in that view.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
