Structure field and Table field

Hi All,
How is using a field from a global structure different from using a field in a table?

Hi ,
in structure   Data is available only during Runtime   where as in Database table  it is stored permanently  .
now it depends upon the requirment  .  which data  you are expecting  .
you cannot use  SELECT statement for Structure   where as  for database tables you can .

  • Attaching search help to SCREEN FIELDS AND TABLE FIELDS

    Hello experts,
    Himanshu here.
    Could you please explain how we can assign search Help to a screen field AND TABLE FIELDS in ABAP?
    Please reply at the earliest,as we have some deliverables to be met
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
    A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
    Select Collective search help and choose .
    The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
    Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
    You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
    In the Definition tab page enter the parameters of the collective search help.
    Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
    Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
    You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
    In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
    In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
    On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
    You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
    Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
    It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
    Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
    In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
    You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
    Save your entries.
    A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
    Choose .
    Result
    The collective search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
    Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.

  • Connection between Structure Field and Table Field

    Hello everybody,
    I'm trying to find a connection between a field in the structure and the actual filed in the table of the database. For example in the structure CAUFVD you have the field PLNNR. This information is stored in the table AFFL in the field PLNNR.
    In the transaction SE84 you can display a structure with all it's fields but I don't see anywhere from which table and field the information is gathered.
    Can you please help me in finding the connection between the structure field and the table field in the database in which the displayed information is stored?
    Thanks and best regards,
    CALIN Marius-Bogdan
    SAP - PP-KeyUser

    Double-click on the structure field and you can do a where-used to find the codepoints, interface usage, etc.  You might find it that way.  You could also look at the flow logic of your screen and try to trace it back.  Otherwise, you'd have to use watchpoints, the debugger, runtime analysis or various other developer tools to find the data population.  If you are a user and not a developer as your signature indicates, you might need to find a developer for this.  Sometimes, it can be incredibly frustrating with SAP because the data field will be handed off 4 or 5 times before it actually reaches its destination field.  Unfortunately, I haven't worked with PP in at least 10 years so I can't give you a better answer; maybe someone else can.

  • Field and table

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference
    1) We can unarchive repository after right clicking on specified repository
    or right clicking on server.
    What is the difference between two?
    2) Can any one explain me with example what is Qualifier table , qualified record, Display Field, Remote key (which we can see in destination field during field/value mapping). It is not clear to me which source fields we should map with which destination field.
    3) I am some doubt with look up table, fields and taxonomy field Can any one give me simple example rather than link.How can we create all this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pappu,
    1) We can unarchive repository after right clicking on specified repository
    or right clicking on server.
    What is the difference between two?
    Ans : The only difference between the two is when you unarchieve the repository by right clicking on the server it will ask the name of the repository and creates the new one while in other case it overwrites the existing repository on which you have right clicked for Unarchieving.
    2) Can any one explain me with example what is Qualifier table , qualified record, Display Field, Remote key (which we can see in destination field during field/value mapping). It is not clear to me which source fields we should map with which destination field.
    Ans : Qualifier Table:
    Consider the simple example given below:
    If one Product is to be sold in different countries with different price depending on the country then in such case if you kept all this information in the main table then it creates the redundancy
    E.g.
    Product     Country     Price
    100     India     50
    100     US     60
    100     UK     40
    Now if you model the above data using Qualified table in which Country will be the non-qualifier and price will be qualifier fields then
    Product                                       Country     Price
    100                                             India     50
                                                      US     60
                                                      UK    40
    i.e. you are eliminating the redundancy by storing the repetative information in another table and just forming the link between main table record and its corresponding qualified table records.
    Qualified Records:
    Records stored in the qualified tables are known as qualified records like India 50 is the qualified record in above example.
    Display Field:
    If any field is declared as the Display field then the data of that field will be visible in the main table in MDM Data Manager.
    E.g. Consider the lookup table name Countries with the structure shown below:
    CountryName     Code
    India     Ind
    United States    US
    then when you select the drop down list say while entering data then you will get
    India,Ind
    United States,US
    Otherwise if only code has been set as the Display Field then only code will appear in the drop down list
    Ind
    US
    Remote Key:
    Remote key is used when you want to communicate with many systems like say you want to send particular MDM records to R3 and some records to BW system.Then you have to enable the Remote Key property of the main table and select the remote system say R3 if you want syndicate the records only for R3 system.
    3) I am some doubt with look up table, fields and taxonomy field Can any one give me simple example rather than link.How can we create all this?
    Ans:
    Lookup table:
    These tables are used when you want to select the data from some fixed set of records like countries.
    Create the lookup table countries and assign the table to the field(lookup flat) of main table then when you enter data into that field you will get the drop down list.
    Taxonomy table:
    Taxonomy table is used when there exists some fields whose occurance depends on the value of other some field.
    E.g. Say there a main table field named Product which consists of values like Shoes and Bottles.When you select Shoes then field Brand appears and when you select Bottles field Quantity appears.Now if you create 3 fields named Products Brand and Quantity then for product field value Shoes quantity will be null and similarly for Bottles Brand field will be Null.Imagine the scenario with lacs of records.
    Now when you use taxonomy table to model the above design it will be as shown below:
    1. Create the field Product in the main table with type Lookup Taxonomy.
    2. In the Data Manager create two attributes named Brand and Quantity.
    3. Link the value Shoes with the Brand and Bottles with the quantity.
    Whenever you select Shoes, Brand field will appear automatically and similarly for other case.

  • Reg:field and table name

    Hi Guys,
    I am developing one report for knowing the recognised amount ,but i am not able to get the field and table name .In system it is showing that VBRAV51HD:RVAMT_REAL_G.But this is a structure,how to get a field name for recognised amount.Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sash.

    Hi sash,
    I think u need to some R n D upon it. First take the structure and open it in SE11. Then try to find out what all tables does the structure comprises of. Then try finding the relevant fieldname of the table( which is also existent in the structure) getting accessed when the field is triggered. That may solve your problem. try finding the objective of your structure being shown.

    Hi,
    First design your form interface, this is the set of fields that you need to display in your form and create this as a structure in SE11.  In your print program code the logic to extract the data into this structure, this is just regular ABAP, nothing special here.
    When you have your data call function module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to determine the name of the generated smartform function module.  Then call this function module, passing the data collected into your structure.  If necessary you will need to find the print parameters required and pass these too.
    In your smartform you will need to use the data structure you created in SE11 as the smartform interface and design the layout required to display these fields.

  • How to compare table data and table field

    Hi buddy,
        I have some question about how to compare table data and table field.
       1. I know there is one method:   CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS  , it use in unit test to compare the table data(A and B) , you can loop table A into structure A1, then use this mehtod it can compare whether table B contain structure A1.  but when I try to use this in main program it will dump.
              CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS(
                                                                                                        LINE    = A1
                                                                                                        TABLE = B ).
           Is there any method or FM can be used to compare the table data ?
        2. I also want to compare two table field , try to find out the different. How to realize this.
    Thank you for your sincerely answer.

    Hi Zongjie,
    What`s the difference, if you using loop A into wa_A, read table B into wa_B with all field, then compare with wa_A and wa_B.
    The question 2, seems no standard FM available here.
    Loop A into wa_A.
       Loop B into wa_B.
           if wa_A-field1 eq wa_B-field1.
           endif.
            if wa_A-field2 eq wa_B-field2. 
           endif.
       endloop.
    endloop.

  • Field and Table for PGI status updation

    Hi All,

    Thanks in advance for help.
    Harini

    Hi Harini,
    In Table VBUK you 3 different status related fields for  sales documents.
    Over all status field name GBSTK ( here it gives the total status of praticular sales document) here you see options
    A  Not yet processed      ( This means its complete open)
    B  Partially processed     ( This means the sales doc is partially processed)
    C  Completely processed  ( This means the sales doc is completly processed)
    Delivery status  and over all delivery status field name LFSTK and LFGSK respectively, these 2 fields will be same always ( here it gives the total status of praticular sales document) here you see options
    A  Not yet processed      ( This means its completly  open)
    B  Partially processed     ( This means the delivery doc is partially processed)
    C  Completely processed  ( This means the delivery doc is completly processed)
    So overall status can be  different then delivery or overall delivery status.
    If sales document has 100 quantity for 1 material, if delivery is done for 50 quantity.
    Then over all status field name GBSTK will be B  Partially processed and delivery and overall delivery will be C  Completely processed  .

  • Storage Location Wise Stock Value field and Table

    Hi ,
    Please let me know the storage location wise stock value field and table.
    Regards
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    As per my understanding it is not possible in a single Table.
    If this is required for customized Z report then use this logic it may gives the correct information.
    In the combination of MARD and MBEW.. From MBEW you can get the value for each Base Unit of Measure then multiply that value with storage location stock.
    It may usefull to u..in the mean time i will try for some other option.
    Please revert if u have any query.

      For batch class the class type value is '023' . This you can find from KLAH table and the fileld for class type is KLART..
    And also all the data related to batch class are found in tables INOB, KLAH,KKSK and for the characeteristics of batch materials you can refer AUSP table.
    In INOB table, for batch class, you need to give 023 in KLART field and  value MCH1 in OBTAB filed.
    Please check this and let me know if this you need any more details?
