User Defined field in UDT - how to create select from existing data

Hi
I want to create User Defined Table for purpose of storing records of sales visits made to customers.
I want to record detail for example: Date of Visit; Sales Employee; Activity number ref (which has attached PDF visit report); Related Opps)
I am not sure exact detail as I have never created User Defined Table before so I am not sure how best to achieve my requirement.
But I want one of the fields to be Business Partner code.
My question is How should I set the BP field so that available options are existing Business Partner codes?
I would like to set field so that if I enter for example:
"CAQ"... and I click Tab key then SAP will bring list of BP Codes which begin with CAQ (eg. CAQU001; CAQF001 etc) for my selection.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Karen

hi.
u can create a user defined table enter your values..by creating columns like..
Customercode, customer name, vitst time, attachnment.
but
"CAQ"... and I click Tab key then SAP will bring list of BP Codes which begin with CAQ (eg. CAQU001; CAQF001 etc) for my selection.

else
if u say i am not using the coding..
u can get all the business master codes... but u have to use fms u have to put it..otherwise u can not do it...

How to create BP from existing vendors optionally?

Hi,
how can I create RE business partners from existing vendors for some optional vendors only?
Does the vendor synchronization (Cross-Application Components - Master Data Synchronization - Customer/Vendor Integration) mean that a BP is created for each vendor in the specific account group?
I've tried to define the configuration settings but haven't found the solution for this yet. Please advise.
- BP grouping assigned to number range
- one FI account group is assigned to BP grouping
- BP role (BP role category, BP view) defined
- in Vendor role link, is the assignment of Role category "optional"?
Thanks!

Hi,
thanks for your comment. I need to check this option too.
However, in this case this does not seem like the best option regarding the workload of users. If they have already xxx vendors in FICO, it does not seem like a very efficient way to create those first also as BP, and then link these records.
It would be much easier to only create the BP based on vendor data with FLBPC1, and save the double work.
Based on SAP documentation, I've understood that FLBPC1 Create BP from vendor is meant for this purpose, so I would like to use this option.
Please advise. Has anyone used FLBPC1 Create BP from vendor successfully?
Thanks!

Requirement related to User Defined Fields

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I want 5 UDF (User Defined Fields) to be displayed in Create User Form. However, In the View User Profile, I want to have a total of
10 UDF to be displayed (5 more UDF in addition to UDF's used in Create User Form). The value of these 5 new UDF will come from some other resource ( a
webservice will return the value of these new 5 UDF) and in the Update User Form, I want to have only 5 UDF to be displayed (same 5 UDF's that are used in
Create User Form).
So, need your inputs on whether this can be achieved through OOTB OIM Configuration or it will require Customization (OIM Api's or jsp customization)?
Regards,
Sunny Ajmera

Hi,
You want to say you have total 10UDFs; 5 you will show on the create user page while on user profile page you want to show all 10UDFs.
Is it right???
Then you have to go for jsp customization.
But you can do one thing by ootb; show all the 10UDFs on the create user make 5 editable in which you want to give any value and make rest 5 as read only.
You have two options choose what suit best to you.

User defined field:item master

Hi,
In item master data, I want to create a user defined field which is linked to an external table wherein the end-user can automatically upload new item master details into the sap appl frm an external table.

Dear Ayesha,
As far as I understand, what you would like to do is the following :
1. A user adds some data into an external table.
2. The user defined Field in SAP B1 is automatically updated with the data in the external table.
If you would like to achieve the above, then I would suggest you to use one of the following methods :
1. DTW to import the tables' content.
2. Import/export option from Excel
3. or an Addon created via the SDK.
If I understood the issue incorrectly, please let me know.

64,000 character limit on UDT user defined field column

Hey All.
We are storing more then 64,000 characters into a UDT user defined field column as it stores a large XML document. How can I retreive this information from the UDT using the DI API? Everytime I try to do this using either the UDT object or SAP recordset it chops off the data to 64000 characters. The UDF was created as a "TEXT" type using B1 client and when I look in the database it has a datatype of NTEXT.
Is this a bug or is there no way using DI API to retreive all the data?

Curtis,
Apologies for my delay in getting back to you.
I do not know the reasoning behind the limit. As far as 2007A is concerned, the documentation that I was looking at when I first responded to your question was the 2007A SDK Help documentation, so I would say it is the same in 2007.
I believe that you can use ADO to access data in SAP Business One as there are other ISV's that use ADO, just not access via stored procedures directly to the Business One database. ADO and ODBC connectivity have rules in place for data validation, although it is recommended that you use the Business One API's for data access as much as possible. You could also store data in your own tables in a separate database and retrieve from there.

Want to add a prepopulated User defined field in create user form

Hi,
I have an entity adapter which will perform a pre-insert check on the user group of the user logged in to the oim.
If the logged in user belongs to a group say "IT ADMIN", another validation check will be imposed on the create user action performed by him.
If not from "IT ADMIN" group then create user action will be handled normally.
Now the catch is, how would I determine the group name of the user logged in from the adapter code I have written?
I decided to keep an User defined field "Created by" in the create user form which will be non-editable and auto-prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user. This way I will be able to map the variable field from the User definition drop down list while mapping the adapter variables.
May you please guide me how I can achieve this?
Would highly appreciate suggestion/inputs.

Thanks for all your replies!
However I am still in dark.
I tried to retrieve the groupname using tcUSerOperationsIntf. But iit tries to retrieve the group name of the user getting created.
Please note, the group name I want is not of the user yet to get created, but that of the user creating it i.e., the logged in user.
My requirement is to have this created_by field in the create user form already prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user.
So that I can put a check based on this field value in the netity adapter.
If the group is IT ADMIN then proceed with the validation.
Else no validation required.
In short, I want to know,how can I auto-prepopulate a UDF in Create USer form?

Hai
Follow the bellow steps for creating User Defined Field Exit
Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
- Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
- An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press F1 for field-level help.
Click on the Technical info pushbutton (or press F9) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
- The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
- You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
- From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
- From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
- Enter the data element name and click the Continue pushbutton.
- Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elements field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
- You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the Continue pushbutton.
- In the Function module field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
- You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
- The first function module for a data elements field exit must be created without an identifier.
- To create the function module, click on the Create pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press F5.
- After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing Enter, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
- Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
- From the function modules attributes screen, click on the Source code pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
- Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
- Remember that field exits function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
- You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
- After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
- Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
- At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
- You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
- When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
- At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
- Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
- This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
- To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the Assign prog./screen pushbutton.
- In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
- In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the Fld. Exit field.
- If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
- If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
- The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
- Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
- After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to Active and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

Create User-defined field for Marketing Documents

I need to create a User-Defined field for Marketing Documents under Title and Rows.
I need to do it via .NET instead of manually go into SAP to create it.
Does anyone can give me idea on how to do this?

Hi David,
There are examples of how to do this in the SDK samples (look for MetaDataOperations project in the DI samples).
There are also examples in the SDK help. Here's one:
Private Sub AddUserField()
'// The UserFieldsMD represents a meta-data object that allows you
'// to addremove fields from tables or change the fields' characteristics
    Dim oUserFieldsMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'// In any meta-data operation there should be no other object "alive"
'// but the meta-data object, otherwise the operation will fail.
'// This restriction is intended to prevent a collisions.
    '// The meta-data object needs to be initialized with a
    '// regular UserFields object
    Set oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
    '// When adding user tables or fields to the SAP Business One database
    '// use a prefix identifying your partner name space
    '// this will prevent collisions between the various partners add-ons
    '// SAP's name space prefix is "BE_"
    '// Set the Fields' mandatory properties
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "OCRD" '// BP table
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = "BE_UserField1"
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = "A user field"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha '// am alphanumeric type
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 20
    '// Add the field to the table
    oUserFieldsMD.Add
End Sub
Kind Regards,
Owen

Can i create user-defined fields that are checkboxes?

I need to create a set of user defined fields on Activities that are a checkboxes. I cant see any options in the manage user fields dialog to set the field as a checkbox, the only options are alphanumeric, Datetime, Units & Totals etc.
Can user defined fields be added that appear as checkboxes? if so, how do i do it?

What you need will not be available by UDF. You need SDK programming for any Check Boxes. However, you may use predefined list for UDF to imitate part of functions of the check box.
Thanks,

How to change the text of a user defined field in dynamic selections?

Logical Database PSJ is used by t code CJI3 - we added a couple of user fields into the dynamic selections of CJI3.
Now - how to change the text of this user filed (USR01 of structure PRSP_R in logical database PSJ)?
Found an OSS note - 86980 - that tells that this is not possible.
But when we read the documentation on the user field (CJI3 - dynamic selections - double click on user field - F1), it shows the following text:
User-defined field in which you can enter general information with a length of up to 20 characters.
Dependencies
The names (key words) for user-defined fields depend on the field key.
Now the question is where to change the field key..
Thanks,
Ven

Madhu - you did not get the question I think.
Anyways - I found an OSS note 1266643 - this code change should take care of the issue - it will then reflect the details maintained in custoizng at transaction code OPS1..
Thanks,

How to map user-defined fields in XML communication on SRM site

Hi All!
We use the External sourcing scenario and we transfer requirements from ERP in SRM through XI (PurchaseRequestERPSourcingRequest_In)
We should transfer the user-defined fields, but we can not map it in SRM site.
We have enhanced enterprise service in XI, have realized BADI PUR_SE_PRERPSOURCINGRQCO_ASYN on ERP site.
I see the XML message with ours z-fields in tr. SXI_MONITOR (into SRM), but I can not find it in BBP_PDISC.
We try to use BADI BBP_SAPXML1_IN_BADI (there is no method for SC), and BADI /SAPSRM/BD_SOA_MAPPING (z-fields is empty)
Someone can tell how to map user-defined field for SC?
Thanks in advance
Evgeny Ilchenko

Hello, Julia
We have found solution our problem
We have enhanced standard service in a new enhancement name space and defined own enhancement elements in our namespaces. Then these enhancement elements refered to the SAP standard Enterprise Service.
But In our new interfaces were different XML namespaces
When we have correct an error we could use the next BADI
on ERP site: PUR_SE_PRERPSOURCINGRQCO_ASYN
on SRM site: /SAPSRM/BD_SOA_MAPPING
