Re-phrasing of standard SAP texts

Hi everybody -
We have a function module delivered by SAP that has certain texts in it's text-include.  We want to change those texts.
If we do this via translation functionality will we essentially be shooting ourselves in the foot in case of a support pack application / upgrade?  Will our text changes be overwritten?  Would it be better to make a z-copy of the function module - or should our changes be safe?
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!
Thanks -
Abby

hi Abigail,
just copy the FM and change the texts there. It is better not to change SAP standard to avoid future problems. On the other hand later you might want to change not just the text, but the funcionality as well, so it is better that you have a Z... copy.
hope this helps

  • Standard SAP EXIT on Text Variables

    Hello Experts,
    I am working on Customer Aging Analysis. first of all I want to use standard SAP Queries and want to have a look on standard SAP EXIT created on variables.i have opened the query no 0FIAR_C03_Q0005. here it shows me one text variable 0P_KEYD2. now i want to see that SAP EXIT created on the variable of Posting Date.
    I went to SE37. i entered the Function Module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001. but i didn't get standard SAP EXIT given by SAP.
    Can anyone tell me from where i can activate or Get the standard SAP EXIT ?
    Regards,
    Komik Shah

    Hi Mansi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    now if i want to add that SAP EXIT in EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001, then can i add it ? or do i have to directly use RSVAREXIT_0P_KEYD2 ??
    All standard SAP EXIT will work the same way you  mentioned ?? means goto SE37 --> type Variable Name --> get that exit.

  • Changing the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.

    Hi expert,
    I have a requirement in which i have to change the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.
    Is it possible? If so, how?
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think you want to change the field label of the text field.
    For ex in tcode MM01, you can change the field label of Material text field.
    The description of the field label comes from the data element it is associated with. To change the text of the field label, you have to change the field label of the data element.
    But it will effect all the fields associated with this data element.
    To change the field label of the data element go to tcode CMOD. Then click on GOTO->TEXT ELEMENTS->KEYWORDS->CHANGE.
    Then enter the data element which is to be changed. In the next screen, change the field label and save it.

  • Standard SAP Table for PO Header Text and PO Item Text

    Hi,
    I want to know the Standard SAP Table where the PO Header Text and the PO Item Text are stored.
    Thanks,
    RK

    PO texts are stored in tables STXH and STXL.
    TDOBJECT is EKKO for header texts and EKPO for item texts.
    Just for future reference with regards to getting text id's etc.
    eg: PO texts.
    --> Go into the PO.
    --> Go to the text tab (item or header - depends what u want).
    --> Double click into the required text.
    --> Click the "GO TO" menu option.
    --> click Header.
    and all the info you need is there.
    You need to use function module READ_TEXT. Since lenght of text is variable it is stored in binary format and cannot be read via a table viewer.

  • SAP Standard Menu Text missing while Creating Role in PFCG

    All:
    I am having a weird issue to where the "SAP Standard Menu Text" is missing when creating a role in PFCG and using the "Copy Menu > From SAP Menu" function.
    When I click the button I get the following:

  • Populating our log message along with standard sap log in ck11n.

    Hi all,
    I have developed a user exit which is used in costing of material using ck11n.
    Here i have to show our custom log message along with the standard log shown by standard sap system after costing run is complete.
    I got one FM-- CM_F_MESSAGE  which is used by SAP. But i want the message along with SAP messages and not separately.
    Can u help me out for this. its very urgent.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I'm not sure because I don't know that trx, but I seem the function group of that function manages a log, so you can try.
    This is an extract of abap code of SAPLCKDI where that fm is used:
    CALL FUNCTION 'CM_F_MESSAGE'
       EXPORTING
         ARBGB = Y_CMF-CK
         MSGNR = '327'
         MSGTY = Y_CMF-W
         MSGV1 = SICHT
         MSGV2 = KLVAR.
    So I suppose you should call it by this way:
    CALL FUNCTION 'CM_F_MESSAGE'
       EXPORTING
         ARBGB = <your message class>
         MSGNR = <message number>
         MSGTY = <message type>
         MSGV1 = <text 1>
         MSGV2 = <text 2>
         MSGV3 = <text 3>
    I think MSGV* is optional parameter.

  • Is there any standard SAP table which stores the license number assigned to a delivery item

    Hi Experts,
    This is in relation to license number assigned to a delivery item under ‘Export License Log’. Our scenario is for delivery of type NLCC created for an inter-company stock transport order. (i.e.not a sales order case where the license may get copied from sales order to delivery through copy control)
    As we understand, for legal control – relevant scenarios, export license for each item shall be determined afresh every time the delivery is accessed. (Depending on legal regulation, grouping, destination country, export control class, delivery partners vis-à-vis license master customer assignments etc.)
    To print the license text on one of the delivery output types, we want to access the license number for each item. (determined under export license log)
    Our question is:  is there any standard SAP table which stores the license number assigned to a delivery item?
    We have checked some of the license tables (T606*, VAEX, EMXX etc.) but couldn’t get any specific table storing delivery-item-specific license data.

    Dont add such text in your post

    Hi Lakshmipathi,
    The export control log can be accessed by going to delivery Extras-> Export license log
    We need a table that stores the determined license for each item in a delivery document ( as shown in the below screenshot)

  • Creating a new Search Help on a standard SAP table field?

    Good day, everyone!
    As part of a report I am writing, the customer would like to have Search Help added to the AUFEX field in table AUFK.  They would like this functionality so that when they are changing an order via t-code ko02, they can get a list of valid values to put in field AUFEX.  I would like to tie it to a zTable I've created; in my zTable, I have just 2 fields:  a key value (that will go into AUFEX) and a text description of the key value.  This zTable is used in my report.
    While I've created a Search Help on this table already for table maintenance, I've never added a custom Search Help to an existing standard SAP table field before.  I've done some Googling and other searching to see what I need to know, but I've only been able to find information on Collective Search Helps.  AUFEX doesn't yet have a Search Help field, so I don't think Collective Search Helps is my answer.
    Is this possible?  Can I add a custom Search Help to a standard SAP table field that doesn't have any Search Help linked to it yet?  Is there an existing thread or guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    Yes u can: u can assign the search help to (A) data element livel or (B) field table livel.
    After creating your search help:
    A) Run SE11, insert your data element (AUFEX), press edit and insert the search help in "Search Help" area on DEFINATION tab;
    B) Run SE11, insert your table (AUFK), press edit, place the cursor on your field (AUFEX) and go to GoTo->Search help->for field
    But u should consider it'll mean to change a standard object for both cases: so u need to get the access key from your OSS.

  • Exception handling for a standard SAP Function Module - the OO way

    Hello,
    I was wondering what is the correct way to call a standard SAP function module inside a method of global class.
    I want to display the error via the:
    get_text( ) and get_longtext( ) methods.
    I don't want to use the sy-subrc check. Is this possible?
    My example doesn't seem to work...
    See example bellow:
    DATA: ex_object_cx_root TYPE REF TO cx_root,
          ex_text TYPE string,
          ex_text_long TYPE string.

          ex_text_long = ex_object_cx_root->get_longtext( ).

                 err_message_text_long = ex_text_long.
      ENDTRY.
    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello Marko,
    If i understand correctly you've enclosed the call to the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' inside the TRY ... CATCH ... ENDTRY block.
    CATCH cx_root INTO ex_object_cx_root.
          ex_text = ex_object_cx_root->get_text( ).
          ex_text_long = ex_object_cx_root->get_longtext( ).
    You can't do this because the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' doesn't propagate OO exceptions!
    Your approach is almost correct, what you've to do is goes like this:
    CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CONFIRM'
      EXPORTING
        i_lgnum                        = i_lgnum      " Warehouse number
        i_tanum                        = i_tanum      " Transfer order number
        i_quknz                        = '1'          " '1' - confirm withdrawal only (picking )
        i_commit_work                  = 'X'          " Indicator whether COMMIT WORK in function module
      TABLES
        t_ltap_conf                    = it_ltap_conf " Table of items to be confirmed
      EXCEPTIONS
        to_confirmed                   = 1    " Transfer order already confirmed
        to_doesnt_exist                = 2
        item_confirmed                 = 3
        item_subsystem                 = 4
        to_item_split_not_allowed      = 51
        input_wrong                    = 52
        OTHERS                         = 53.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
              WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4
              INTO ex_text. "Get the ex_text by this technique & not by CX_ROOT->GET_TEXT()

  • Adding field in standard SAP transaction output results.

    Hi,
    I have to add a new field in standard SAP transaction output results.
    Can any one tell me what are the ways (brief explanation) that I can do this?
    If using exists - then what kind of exists I have to use? And how to find out the possibility with user exists?
    Thanks for your time.
    Thanks.
    Chris.

    Hi,
        There are so many ways to find out the user exits.
    Hi,
    To see SAP Exits -> Use Tcode SMOD
    To See create a project for Customer Exits -> Use Tcode CMOD
    There are projects to which Exits are assigned. Selects the relevant projects.
    What is User Exit:
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
    How to find then:
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
    All Exits List:
    http://www.easymarketplace.de/userexit.php
    Do a search on SAP Exits, Customer Exits, enhancements, etc
    Step 1 :- Execute transaction
    step 2 :- Click on Status Menu
    step 3 :- Double click on the program (screen) __?????___
    Step 4 :- Search source code for the 'Customer-Function' string using the find button. Remember to select 'In main program'.
    Step 5 :- A list of search results should be displayed indicating where all function exits can be found.
    You can now double click on each of them to go to its position in the source code. This also
    allows for the insertion of breakpoints so that you can test if the exits are called in the
    appropriate place.
    Step 6 :-Once you have found the Function Exit within the source code (Find Function Exit) you need to
    access the actual function module it executes. This is done using the following steps:
    Step 6.1 :-
    Step 1
    Locate desired 'Call Customer-function' statement within source code.
    Step 2
    If code is not within main program (module pool) e.g. SAP* then you will need to find this
    out by selecting 'Main Program' from the 'GOTO' menu. The Main program for transaction
    Step 3
    The actual function module name can now be calculated based on the information retrieved,
    it is defined by the following format:
    EXIT_<Program name>_<Exit number>
    eg :- 'EXIT_SAPLMR1M_004'.
    Step 7.1:-
    Once you have found the Exit function module
    Step 1
    Execute transaction CMOD
    Step 2
    Select 'SAP Enhancements' from the 'Utilities' menu.
    Step 3
    Select 'All selections' from the 'Edit' menu.
    Step 4
    Now populate the Component name field with the exit function module and press
    the execute button.
    Step 5
    A list of all Exits(Enhancements) containing that function module should now be displayed.
    Step 5
    You can now double click on the desired exit to display a detailed description of its uses and a list of all
    components contained in it.
    Implementing Function Exit
    This is required in-order to activate Function exit:
    Step 1
    The first step is to enter source code into function module in the usual way i.e. via SE37.
    There will already be an include declaration within the code with the following
    format: Include zx*.
    Double click on this to create it, source code can then be entered within here.
    Although it is good practice to create another include with this to store your
    code, this allows separation of difference enhancements allowing them to be easlity
    removed without de-activating the enhancement.
    Step 2
    Execute transaction CMOD and create new Enhancement. Enter name and press the create
    Button.
    Step 3
    The following screen should be displayed, enter short text then click on the 'Enhancement
    Step 4
    Now enter the Exit name (enhancement) which contains the desired Function Exit.
    Step 5
    Return to initial screen of CMOD and press the activate icon. The exit is now ready for use.

  • How to copy standard SAP report to a Z report?

    Hi All,
    Guys, I have a requirement to copy an standard SAP report and make some changes to it. Please let me know how to copy a standard SAP report as a Z report. Is there any simple way or will I have to open the source code and copy it into the new Z program? If that is the case, how will I copy the screens and related PBO/PAI events?
    Please provide me a step-by-step solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Madhur

    Hello Madhur,
    As Raja had said, yuo could just copy the program from SE38. But just remember a few points:
    1. If the standard report is being used in some other programs, then there's no way you can make your Z-report get used in all such instances. I suspect that you may not want to do that anyways, but just in case.
    2. Just also check out if the standard report you're talking about has any INCLUDE programs within it. If there are too many standard INCLUDEs in the main report, then you might have to decide whether you need to copy all of them too, or let them be as they are.
    3. You are likely to have some problems with the text-elements and translation that may have been maintained for the original report.
    I have experienced some problems with respect to the second and third points in the past, so it is worth it to be a bit careful.
    Regards,
    Anand Mandalika.
