User defined fields window / formatted search

HI
I 've created a user defined field in the marketing documents
I want tO put the result of a query into this field :
I use a formatted search in order to have the result :
SELECT T0.Balance FROM OCRD T0 WHERE T0.CardCode = $[$4.0]
My query is based on CardCode(item 4), but when the user defined field window is open, the item 4 is the cross of this form and i have the result next :
SELECT T0.Balance FROM OCRD T0 WHERE T0.CardCode = N'RSRCButtonCloseBox'
Thanks
Sylvain

Hi,
It happened the same today for me, but using both, $[$4.0.0] and $[$4.1.0]... both of them return that RSRCButtonCloseBox....
So, what is wrong here?

User-Defined Fields Window

Hi All,
I have one issue with the User-Defined Fields window of the ACTIVITY form.
I had added some user defined fields (UDF) to the Activities so that the User-Defined Fields are displaying in a separate window just near to the Activity window with Type (-651). All the UDFs are bound to the table, "OCLG".
I want to initialize the values in the User defined fields controls with a text when the form is loading.
I had tried to do this using
oForm.Datasources.DBDatasources.Item("OCLG").SetValue("U_CUST",0,"MyValue");When I executed this statement, i am getting HResult error.
Then I tried this by using UserDataSources.
The same error repeats.
But the code with .Specific.String = NewVal is working fine.
Can you please explain the scenarios that we are able to do it using .Specifc.String. Is this a true method for doing this?
if not
please tell me How can we do this using Datasources (DBDatasources/ UserDataSources),?
Please Help.
Thank you in Advance
Anoop

Anoop,
when you have created UDF in master item data, the textbox you can see on left side of form (separate form) is bounded already to this field. You cannot rebound it (its system form).
When you want to change the value, you must use specific.string or specific.value for that textbox (as you wrote), but the calcualted value will be stored into master table (change of udf will set formmode to update mode). If you dont need to update formmode, set the formmode by code to normal mode.
hope it helps

LInking a User Defind Field with formatted search

Hi!, I created a user defined field called subcategory in the items master data. The field is link to a subcategory table.
But the subcategory is dependant on the item's category or group. So is there a way to filter this, so the user can only select subcategories of the current item category (group)
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply, it has 3 fields.
The Category Code
The SubCategory Code
The Description for the SubCategory
The Category Code its actually the ItmsGrpCod for the Item, the subcategory code its arbitrary defined and unique for each category.

Retreve current form value in user define field

Hi,
I got a questions, please help.
I want to retrieve values in current form, like the quantity and discount in Sales order, into a user define field with formatted search, is it possible?
Many Thanks!
Paddy

This is the Syntax of FOrmatted Search Query. This syntax will work only with SBO.
$[$38.11.0]
38 Represents the Matrix(Table) in a Marketing Document
11 Represents the Quantity Field in the Matrix
0 Represents the Number Format.
Place your Cursor on the Matrix and Press CTL + SHFT + D, you'll find the Column information in the Left side of the Status Bar

User defined field not visible "Conditions" tab

I have created a user-defined field Z_E_PREIS that I want to use as a result-type of user field in condition table. When using a condition record that has this field, the field is not visible inthe "Conditions" tab of the transaction item. Why is that?
Customizing activities done:
- data element Z_E_PREIS (CHAR10) created with SE11
- field catalog: field name "Z_E_PREIS" created in "Fields NotContained" tab, referring to data element Z_E_PREIS
- BAdI /SAPCND/ROLLNAME activated for this field, for contexts CONTRACTand PRODUCT
- condition table CUS9051 four fields:o search fields: sales org., distr.ch. and producto result field: Z_E_PREIS
- access sequence Z951 with the fields from cond.tbl CUS9051- condition type ZZ51 using access sequence Z951, manual maintenanceallowed- pricing procedure ZZ901 with one condition type: ZZ51
- determination of pricing procedure: sales org. 50004458 -distr.ch.01 - doc.pr.proc.Z
- customer pr.proc. 1 => ZZ901
- created transaction type ZF12 (doc.pr.proc Z) and item category ZV12and item category determination
Master Data maintenance:
- created condition maintenance group ZPRODCRM: added condition typeZZ51
- condition maintenance group ZPRODCRM assigned to application CRM inMaster Data
-> Products -> Special Settings for Sales Operations- created product ZTEST3, item category group U001, distributionchain "Rel Three - 01"
- in ZTEST3, created three condition records for ZZ51 (sequential 2-week periods). User field Z_E_PREIS "Price Key" maintained for each of them.

Hi Raja,
Prior to trying Gordons option of unmarking and remarking them i would suggest you do a little more investigation as this can potentially change the field names in XL report and if you have any reports using them they may stop working (it can add a post fix of _1).
Firstly, what are the fields set as in the User Defined Fields window in XL reporter? Light Dimensions, Dimension Attribute or Measure? If its a Dimension Attribute for example on the Business Partner UDF, it will not be visible in the tab section but should be shown if you drag and drop the Business Partner dimension in the report, then right click and choose display more attributes (dimension attribute UDFs will be in this list). Light Dimensions and Measures should appear in the tabs.
If they are set as a light dimension or measure and are not in the tab section, has this only just started happening or have they never been visible? If its just started happening, having you recently upgraded to a new patch? If so, in future you need to run a script on the Company and Common database prior to the patch upgrade. If you did not run these scripts you will need to do Gordons solution but as I say, if any reports have UDFs in these may not work after and you will have to manually edit them.

Adrian

Formatted Search with user defined fields??

Hai everyone,
I know how to use the search.. I did like this...
SELECT U_Discount FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
But now i want to know the other way...ie.
SELECT U_TVal FROM OITM WHERE U_Tcode='??????'
the where condition is to be like this -I have 2 user defined fields
1. U_TCode
2. U_TVal
I want to select the U_TVal where the U_Tcode= ????
HOW TO SPECIFY THE USER DEFINED FIELD HERE like this one $ $38.1.0 ....or is there any other method??
Thanks
Vibin

Its Same..I didnt try your way but i tried this
select oNHand from OITW where ItemCode=$[RDR1.ItemCode]
Here in sales order- when an item selected the Stock in different warehouse will be listed in quantity...
Try that
$[Tablename.FieldName]

Add User Defined Field (Landed Costs Window)

Hello All!
Somebody can help us on this, we wonder if someone can tell us how can we add a user defined field in the Landed Costs Windows -> Fixed Costs TAB place.
We were unable to add this field, and now we're thinking that's impossible through the USER DEFINE FIELD function, there's not reference about Fixed Costs TAB in this tool, but if someone knows the 'how to', please help us.
thanks in advance
jssanche

Hi Sanchez,
I am afraid you could not do that. User defined field is not be added into landed cost. Landed cost seems like process external bank statement. I have ever asked to SAP support about this (how to add UDF in process external bank statement) and they said it could be done using add-on. You have developed add-on to do that (DI/UI or UI API only).
Rgds,

How do I refer to a user defined field in a query (using $ notation) ?

if i have a user defined field in Invoice header called U_Test, and if I need to read it using a query (to be used on a formatted search).
I am not quite sure of the syntax. can anyone help please?
I tried
$[$U_Test.0.0] which is the accepted way with fields with numerical ids such as $[$8.0.0] etc.
appreciate any help,
Indika.

Hi all,
Aliw, the 38 is not the form number, is the Item Number (which I guess is a matrix). In your case the User Defined Field is a line UDF. In Indika´s case is a header UDF.
And that´s the issue. As the indika´s UDF is a header UDF, it lays in a different form (which is named "-" + Main Form Name). Formatted searches work with the $[$Field.Column.Format] notation ONLY in the same form. So, if you try to get the UDF from another UDF, it will work with that notation (they are in the same form). But if you try to get the UDF from the main form, it won´t find it (It is in another form).
In that case you should use the other notation, as Andrea, Alexey and Salvador told you in the posts before.
Hope this clears a bit the issue.

Ibai Peñ

User Defined Fields/data items

How can I add user defined fields on runtime in a pre-defined data blocks wiht the user defined attributes of data type, length and format masks.
Ofcouse I should have those fields defined in DB first.
Thanks for any help

I have a similar need.
I have a DB table that stores a list of questions and data types/sizes/usages of the answers required by the user of the form.
In a multi-record database block, I currently list the questions, and supply a Text Item to capture the user's answers, and then provide validation code to check for the proper data type & number of characters.
I would like to be able to use the data type/size/usage information that is stored with each question to create, at runtime, an appropriate item (numeric text item max length 3, or character drop-down list box, or character text item with an LOV, etc.) for each question record. In other words, one record could have a drop-down list box, while another record could have a numeric text item.
I think that I can create separate fields for each type of item, and then enable/disable the fields when required, but this solution is less elegant than the programmatic solution that I desire.
Is there a way to do this programmatically in Oracle Forms 6.0.5.0.2 for Windows, or with an OCX, or some other add-in? We do not have Oracle Applications in this group. Is there a way to get "FlexField" without having Oracle Applications?
I agree that this is a normal requirement these days as administrator-type users (as opposed to data-entry end-users) of applications want to be able to dynamically customize the app for their usage.
Oracle needs to address this issue by creating the ability in Forms/Reports to create customizable apps.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

User Defined Field that gives the date output of the last price update.

We would like to create a User Defined Field (UDF) with a Formatted Search (FMS) on the Item Master form that gives the date output of the last price update specifically the wholesale price.
Last Price Update
Pricelist 2 = Wholesale
Is this feasible?
If it is feasible what is the recommended approach?
Current working UDF on Item Master.
/* Date output is based on all the latest updates on the Item Master.*/
select max(updatedate)
from aitm
where itemcode = $[oitm.itemcode]
Resources that were helpful.
1.(Note:1165947 - Tracking Item Price Changes.)
2. Case 4-I6: Query on price updates. Mastering SQL Queries for SAP Business One By: Gordon Du

Thank you Gordon,
We are looking for the date output of the 'Last Price Update' based on 'Pricelist 2 = Wholesale' which is the challenge.
These 2 are the parameters for the date output, I should have mentioned that in my original message.
Last Price Update
Pricelist 2 = Wholesale
Per reading a bunch of other similar Forum Questions it looked like it is might not be possible to do. With there being no date on the AIT1 table and AITM.Updatedate is based on any and all updates not just last 'Last Price Update' and not sure how to use the loginstanc.
Thanks,
Vern

User defined field that looks up a system table?

I want to create a user defined field that looks up parts in the items table (i.e. OITM).
I know I can use a formatted search and that works, but I don't want users to be able to edit the field after the item has been looked up and pasted into the field.
In the user defined field menu, there doesn't seem to be a solution to this. The only solution I can think of is to create a user defined table and then move over the items, and then periodically have the table be updated from the master item table (OITM).
Thoughts?

Here is the stored procedure I wrote, but it doesn't seem to work:
IF @transaction_type IN ('A', 'U') AND @Object_type = '97'
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT T0.ItemCode, T1.U_Part FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0, [dbo].[OOPR] T1
WHERE T0.ItemCode = T1.U_Part AND T1.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
    BEGIN
        SELECT @error = 1, @error_message = 'Testing'
    END
END
So basically, I have a UDF called U_Part in the Sales Opportunity form, which will have a formatted search to look up parts, but if a user changes the text to something else (which is possible because it's a basic text field), then this should look up what is in that UDF and check it against the Item Master and give an error if it doesn't exist. However it isn't doing anything.
Any ideas?

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.

Adding user defined field in print layout design of Bill of matrial Report

I want to add "Drawing No" which is user defined field in Bill of Material report need immediate help .

Hi,
If you add the UDF in BOM-Title then the UDF will be in OITT table.
If you add the UDF in BOM-Rows then the UDF will be in ITT1 table.
You will find BOM-Title or BOM-Rows in Production Module (ie., in User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields)
In PLD, You can print the UDF if you search in the above said tables.

User-defined field in existing table

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to add a user-defined field in an existing table.
Actually, I would like to add a combobox with other types of partners than vendors, customers and leads and add a user-defined field in the OCRD table.
Thank you
Regards,
Thibault

Hello,
Your answers help me a lot !
My code is working, i.e. when I create a new BP and choose another type in my comboBox, the information is saved.
When I search a BP who has this type, SAP find the good BP.
But, I don't see where the data is stored, I don't see anything which make the difference between 2 BP with 2 different types in the OCRD table.
So, where SAP can make the difference?
Thank you
Regards,
Thibault

User Table Key set up in User defined field management

Dear Expert,
what is use of User Table Key set up in User defined field management in SAP B1.
Thanks.
Sridharan.R
Edited by: Sridharan.R on Oct 4, 2011 8:26 AM

Hi,
Once a UDF is created and a value is entered in it, the same cannot be retrieved in any of the layouts and reports unless a Key is generated for that UDF. By assigning a Key to that UDF, the same UDF can be used in Crystal Reports or any other Reporting tool to extract its values from SAP. These reporting tools searches the Uniqueness of the UDF Values with this Keys only.
For eg.: When you develop a report and select a table from which you need the fields to be shown in the layout. In that, the only fields whose keys are generated are only available to use in the report.
Hope its clear to you.

Papil
