Setting up Descriptive Flexfield default value

Hi,
I have set up 3 DFFs in a form
1.one
2.two
3.three
I want to have the DFF segment 'three' to be automatically populated with the default value as ('one' + 'two')
Example:
I enter 4 in 'one' & 5 in 'two' -> this action should automatically populate 9 in the DFF segment 'three'
Is this possible?

Yes.
you can use default type of Segment3 as Sql statement. and
default value of Segment3 as
SELECT :$FLEX$.SEGMENT1 + :$FLEX$.SEGMENT2 from dual
Thanks.

Descriptive FlexField default value options

Does anyone know how to default a value in the next DFF, with the value entered in the current DFF?
Example:
DFF Item Low: Enter value here and TAB
DFF Item High: Value here should be defaulted from DFF Item Low.
Please help..!!

Hi Nel,
use a Pair type value set to achieve this. This value set should be attached to both the DFF Item Low and DFF Item High DFF attributes.
You can refer to seeded value set CST_SRS_ITEM_PAIR.
For this Pair value set the functions are define dlike this:
Event: Edit
Function
FND POPIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE NAVIGATE="!DIR" REQUIRED="N"
ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Event: Validate
Function
FND VALIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE REQUIRED="N" ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Hope this helps!

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
<u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>

How to set default value for Zfeild using statusprofile

hi experts,
I need to set a default value for a zfeild using status profile.Although we can default the values,using getter and setter methods,but in my requirement,the feild will be defaulted when the page is locked,also in display mode,which will require me to write code to unlock then set the value and then write a commit,as there wont be any user action performed.
I have created a zstatus profile and have set the required status to inital,but no luck
please suggest if this canbe achived through status profile.
Regards
Anu.

Hi,
You can check in the getter if the Page is locked and then display the value to want to display. Note that this will be just Displaying the default value for the Zfield and it will not set the default value into the Zfield in DB, because when the document is locked ( means locked for editing - mostly when system status is completed ) , setters are not called and so you can display the value but cant set it. This is fine if the value you want to display in Z field is just for user's informations and its not required to save this default value.
The best approach would be to set the value in the Zfield before the page is locking. For example, If you wat to set the zfield value when status is set to "Completed" , then you can configure an action that is 1) triggered during saving of the document with 2) start condition "When status is completed" ( both 1 and 2 you can mention in action defination ), then Implement this action badi in which you can set the Zfield to default value.
This will ensure that default value is always set whenever the page is getting locked for editing ( i assumed that page lock means status completed ).
Thanks & Regards

How to set a default value as current month in already created variable of 0fiscper

Hi Guys,
In my report currently we are using a variable for 0fiscper which is mandatory and selection option.
Now there is a requirement to set current month as default value in that variable.
Please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks.
Dolly

You need to change the processing type to customer exit of that variable.
Now in i_step = 1 write the following code:
Data:dt LIKE sy-datum,
      zper TYPE /bi0/oifiscper,
      YR type /bi0/oicalyear,
      per LIKE t009b-poper.
IF i_step = 1.
WHEN 'X_FSCPRC' .---User input variable based on cmod.
      dt = sy-datum.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
        EXPORTING
          i_date         = dt
          i_periv        = 'M3'---Give the fiscal year variant                             according to your system
        IMPORTING
          e_buper        = per
          e_gjahr        = yr
        EXCEPTIONS
          input_false    = 1
          t009_notfound = 2
          t009b_notfound = 3
          OTHERS         = 4.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
Concatenate YR Per into Zper.
        l_s_range-low = Zper.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor Liedo

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

Tabular Form - Setting a default value just on first row.

Hi all,
how to set a tabular form default value only in the first row?
When I click on "add row" I want the new row have a blank value.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you add a new row to the tabular form, any existing rows should be saved to the database. You can, therefore, check for the existence of such records and set the value of a hidden page item accordingly. The default value for a tabular form item can then be based on this hidden item.
This can be done by setting the Source Used to "Always, ..." on the hidden item called, say, P1_DEPTNO_DEFAULT, and the Source to something like:
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO X FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO = :P1_DEPTNO;
IF X > 0 THEN
RETURN '';
ELSE
RETURN :P1_DEPTNO;
END IF;
END;This is a "PL/SQL Function Body" Source Type.
In this example, we are checking if there are any EMP records with a DEPTNO value that matches P1_DEPTNO. If there are, then the tabular form must contain at least one row already, so we return an empty string. If there are no records, the tabular form must be empty, so we return the P1_DEPTNO value.
The Default settings on the DEPTNO column in the tabular form would then be:
Default Type: Item (application or page item name)
Default: P1_DEPTNO_DEFAULT

Descriptive Flexfield transfer from Requisition (iProcurement) to PO

Can a descriptive flexfield be transferred from iProcurement (requisition lines) to Purchase Order (lines)?
I am fairly new to Oracle EBS and this is my first attempt to set up descriptive flexfields. We want the user to populate the field while creating the requisition and would like that value to transfer to the purchase order. (we are on 11i)
Is this possible? Is there an option or setting that I need to be aware of?
Thank you!

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,

What is the best way to implement default values stored in a DB table?

[JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
[JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
We are struggling on how to best implement default values that are stored in a DB table. What we have is a database table with (CODE_TYPE, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DEFAULT_VALUE) as columns. This way the application administrator can administer default values himself/herself. Now we need to find the best way to set these table supplied default values in new rows. Globally we are aware of two ways:
- override create() method on VO
- probably create a View Object on top of the database table with default values (we are capable of transposing the table and return exactly one row with a column for each default value) and use JHeadstarts item property 'Default Value'.
We prefer the latter, since this is more declarative, however we struggle with the EL expression needed to indicate the default value.
If we have a VO named "DefaultValues" with a SELECT on a view on top of our database table (transposed) returning exactly one row, let us say:
SELECT orglanguage, orgtype, orgstatus [...]
FROM v_default_values
--> returning exactly one row
and we want an EL expression on an item that needs the value from orglanguage. What will the EL expression be? Something like:
#{data.DefaultValuesPageDef.currentrow.orglanguage.inputValue}? We tried several things but they do not work. A static default value works, but every EL expression so far does not. We know that using "data" can be dangerous, but thought JHeadstart takes care of preparing the other Page Definitions, so it might be possible when you use JHeadstart.
Or is overriding the create() method the preferred way? Or do we have to look at a Managed Bean for our default values that we refer to from EL (let us say MyAppDefaultValuesBean) and in that case: how do you associate a Managed Bean with a VO?
Any help would be appreciated. Apart from these default values, things are going rather well in this first J2EE/JHS project for us!
Toine

Steven,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately whatever we try, we cannot get it to work. We started looking at the second option (since we do need default values also in table lay-out new rows). We created a DefaultValues ViewObject, added it to the Application Module, added an EL expressiona to the Default Display Value property (replacing your ending ")" with a "}" offcourse ;-)), ran the JAG so that a page definition was generated for DefaultValues and we managed to get it prepared when loading for example the Organisation's jspx page. However no default value appears in a new row (not in Form, not in Table layout).
I then created a quick application on top of the HR schema, added a DefaultValues ViewObject using one calculated attribute (set Salary fixed to 1000), added the EL expression to the Salary Default Display Value property in the Employees Group, made sure the DefaultValuesPageDef is prepared by adding it to the parameter section and I see it getting prepared. I also see a managed Bean is created in the Employees-bean.xml.
In the Embedded OC4J log we see:
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -executing onCreate
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -CreateEmployeesDefaultValues bean found, applying default values to new row
2006-08-02 16:01:01.825 WARNING [ADFc] Warning: No Method onCreateEmployees and no actionBinding CreateEmployees found.
Is it this warning we should be worried about? Since no default value is created.

We do not understand what is wrong and why the default values do not get created in the new rows (and it is taking us far too much time). Any chance the EL expression is still wrong? It is a shame that any syntax errors in EL expressions are not visible in some logfile. It looks like when EL expressions are wrong, they are ignored instead of raising an error...

"File Path Control" default Value

Hi - How do we set or change the default value for "File Path Control" (Control --> String & Path ---> File Path Control)?
I typed the default path into the control field on the front pannel and save the VI file. The value gone when I reopen the file.

jimmy.chretien wrote:
[...] difference between Not a path and Empty path... Why?
Not a Path is a specific value for the path (<Not a Path>).
Developers should use this to prevent situations in applications, where a user has to select a path before performing an action (e.g. saving a file). If the user skips the path selection, the application still has "Not a Path" and can prevent errors and tell the user to select the path (error handling!).

Default values for static report parameters are not visible when scheduling

Hello
Crystal Reports 2008 Dev
Crystal Reports Server 2008
When I publish a report to the repository and then try to schedule that report, the default value that I have set for a static parameter in the report is not visible.
In the Parameters section of the Scheduling wizard this parameter is marked as [EMPTY]
However, when I View the report (right click and select View) from within Infoview, the parameter default value is visible
I have published in the following 3 ways:
Publishing Wizard
File > Save As > Enterprise from withing Crystal Reports Dev
CMC > Folders > Add > Crystal Reports
The results are the same for each method of publishing.
To try to eliminate any DB issues etc i have created a report that is not attached to a datasource.
This test report has one Static parameter.
I have set 3 values for its list: Entry A, Entry B, Entry C
Entry X is set as the parameter Default Value
The parameter is placed in the details section of the report
When the report is Viewed it will prompt for parameter entry, with the default value present
When I try to schedule the report is will not have an entry for its parameter
It seems to me that the default values for parameters should be retained from report design through to report schedule, especially when the default values are retained from report design to report View
Is this a config problem that i have ?
Can anyone help me with this ?
Best regards

Hi Robert
Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding sooner.
What i have found is that if i use Publishing Wizard to upload reports it is then possible to set values for prompts during the last step of this process.
Although this is a bit clumsy, it is sufficient for now

Journal Import - Import Descriptive Flexfield = Yes

Hi Gurus,
If i run the Journal Import - Program with Import Descriptive Flexfield parameter = 'Yes'.
Will it allow if a descriptive flex field is null.
I do not want to import the Journals if the Attribute1 is NULL. Kindly help me with the best way of doing this..
Thanks,
Genoo

I wont be able to comment on it with certainity.
You can perform a trial and error run by doing the following:
1st case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and without making the changes in the code.
2nd case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and by making the changes in the code.
Compare the results of the two scenario above and make changes accordingly if required, However prior to making the changes please consult it with a technical resource to get his thoughts on the same.
Also you can evaluate what validations are provided by Oracle while importing the DFF since may be that you dont have to anything else apart from your side and Oracle standard code can take care of the same.
Hope this helps
Thanks and Regards
