User Field as date

Hi all,
i try to get in system form with formtype=133 a system field docdate as frm.items.item("10").specific.string
i have a user table
vData = CDate(CStr(frm.Items.Item("10").Specific.String)
Set xTable = oCompany.UserTables.Item(CStr("TABLE"))
xTable.Code = "Pippo"
xTable.Name = "Pippo"
xTable.UserFields("U_data").Value = vData
xTable.Add
but is not correctly!
Any idea for to format the string into data format???
Best regards
Serema

Hi Serema,
I use the following method to get a date:
// if passing in a string from an edit box, ensure it is the editbox.string
          // NOT the editbox.value which is passed!!!
          public static DateTime ConvertToDateFromSAPString(string value)
               try
                    SBObob Bob = (SBObob)BaseUI.oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoBridge);
                    Recordset RecSet = Bob.Format_StringToDate(value);
                    return Convert.ToDateTime(RecSet.Fields.Item(0).Value);
               catch
                    return DateTime.Today;

How to prevent user to enter data in "Date/Time Field"?

Hi folks,
     Back after long time to the forums, where I get answers which are helpful in making me good at utilizing designer.
     I am trying to validate the "Date/Time Field" using JavaScript but couldn't get a proper RegEx expression for various invalid user input formats. If anyone can help me out in finding a proper script that would Great.
     My script grown bigger and bigger to accepting invalid dates, but felt like hardcoding. So, instead I decided why can't we prevent a user to enter data into "Date/Time Field" and use only calendar dropdown. Is there is a way to do this?
find my sample testing docment
https://acrobat.com/#d=mYXkrhO2txuEesCfmvxNXg
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
I don't think there is a way of stopping the user from using the keyboard to enter a date. You can use the following script in the change event to stop them typing a date but they will still be able to paste a date in.
if (xfa.event.change.length === 1)
xfa.event.change = "";
This code works because if the date is selected from the calendar dropdown then the date xfa.event.change value will be the whole date and therefore longer than one character.
I couldn't access your sample but if you were to set an display picture for the date field to something other than date{YYYY-MM-DD} then a valid date will have a formattedValue that is different than the rawValue.

Data in User Fields

Dear Experts,
Want to know whether we can link Data Fields which are available in Standard Tables to User Fields which are available at WBS Level.
Thanks in advance,
Dileepa.

Hi Virendra,
Thanks for the support, as per the guidance given by you i was able to link the desired field (E.g. Vendor Code) to one of the WBS Element User Field using WBS_USER_FIELDS_F4 BAdi. Further to this I have following requirements.
1. Can I also appear the field description in front of the User Field (E.g. Name of the Vendor)
2. Can I validate whether a User have entered a valid input to the User Field (i.e. Existing Vendor in the Vendor Master)
3. Can I include a search window to search input values.
Very much appreciate your help,
Dileepa.

SBL-DAT-00398 error msg for User Field Validation

Hi All,
I have created the following field validation on the User field "Division": Len([<Division>])>0 AND InStr([<ltValidation_OU_ITAG>],[<Division>])>0, As the "Division" field is free text, the porpuse of the validation is to prevent the user from entering in this field any value that is diffrent from the ones available in the custom field "Validation OU" via the User Owner Page Layout. The validation works OK for Admin Role via the User Admin Page Layout but a SBL-DAT-00398 error msg stating " Field '<Division>' does not exist in definition for business component 'Occam Current Employee' " appears when users with other roles are trying to update this field via the User Owner Page Layout.
I have contacted OD Customer support and they validated this in several POD saying this "is most likely a defect in the application" and a CR will be submitted to dev team to fix it sometime in the future.
I am wondering though if support isn't making life easy here stating the above...:
1. Anyone encountered this error before? (couldn't find any trace for this on My Oracle Support)
2. Anyone aware of field validation limitations for the 'User' entity?
3. Workaround suggestions are welcomed
10X for you help!
Alex.

Error(), fatal(), info() and warn() issue FacesMessages that get picked up by the MessageGroup component.
By adding in the uicomponent you can target the facesMessage so that it gets picked up by the Message component associated with the field causing the error.
But, to get the label to show the error as well, you need to throw a validationError. See this tutorial for more informaiton:

Default date field to today but still allow user to change date if needed.

This is for a log that is usually accessed daily

Hi Joey...,
If you are looking for a formula that will automatically insert today's date in a cell, I don't think there is one tahat will do what you hope. TODAY() inserts todays date alright but it does that every time the cell updates. It would always be today's date.
If you are entering your data using a form in iOS then after you tap the day button you are offered the choice of "Today" on the number pad. It always seemed to me that this should be the default screen for a date entry.
This past week I finally discovered that if you choose a month on the date entry screen an go to the next field, the date field will populate with that month, the number of today and the year of today. So to enter today I only need to choose the month.
I am sure you moved on with this, but I had to let someone know.

Added user field to CJI3 - missing in column set until post

Hello,
We added a user field to the CJI3 report using these instructions:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/400fbf3d-4be0-2d10-2d85-bbaf27f72258?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&49563922669358
We added a user defined field in our WBS structure, PRPS-USR001, to the CJI3 report.
On page 8 it says that once the change is made, the column will become availble. We haven't found that to be the case. What I found was that the field does not show up until 1) there is a value in it for a project and 2) there has been a new posting to that particular WBS element.
So it appears that after we update the master data for the particular WBS on each project, we will not be able to use the data in CJI3 until there is a posting to that WBS element for each relevant project.
Is there any way to "activate" or "push" SAP such that once the master data is updated in the project it is available in CJI3? Or do we have to wait until something has been posted to that WBS? Historically there are postings to the WBS but it doesn't appear in CJI3 until there is a new posting since we updated the field.
Thanks much,
Andrea

Hi Andrea
cji3 is the actual cost/revenue line item report of ps. In order for the new column to appear you need to satisfy both pre-requisites:
1.actual line item in your wbs
2.the user field to have a value.
If you satisfy just one of the pre-req's i am afraid you will not get it in your cji3 output.
Hope it helps somehow

Defining Key -field and data fields

Hi all
i have to define Key-Fields and data-Fields for a DSO(say DSO3).
DSO1 is a combination of DSO2 and DSO3..
DSO1 and DSO2 are SAP defined DSOs.
DSO3 is a User defined DSO.
my assumption:
   DSO3 has 30 fields
   DSO2 has 16 fields.
   can i create the DSO3 with remaining 14 fields which is there in DSO1?
   or i have to create the DSO3 with 30 fields(all DSO1 fields).
can any body explain....
Thanks & Regards
krishna

The problem is not how many fields you create where, the issue is where is the data is going to come from.
Since you data is going from DSO3 to DSO1and if the field is already getting populated in DSO1 from DSO2, then you don't have to worry about populating those fields again, unless and otherwise you want to overwrite them.
Remember any fields exist in both DSO3 and DSO2 which overlapping will be overwritten by the latest update.
Again, going back to your question, you should consider does your datasource has missing fields (14 of them).
thanks.

Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
Here is how the system works now:
1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

HI,
the problem is delimited data defaults to char(255)..... Very helpful I know.....
what you need to two is tell sqlldr hat the data is longer than this.
so change notes to notes char(4000) in you control file and it should work.

Lock objects to allow 1 user to insert data at a time

Is it possible to Use lock objects to allow only 1 user to insert data into a database table at a time.
I am creating Assets using "BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE1".
To create "n" assets similar to the asset I use a DO loop in my program and call the BAPI. (Please refer number of fixed assets field in AS01).
I need to avoid other users from manually creating assets using AS01 while the BAPI is running so that the range of assets created is consistent ( without gaps )
Thanks and Regards,
Ashwin

Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
- Read Lock(Shared Locked)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
the locked area of the table
- Write Lock(exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
the locked area of the table.
- Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
same transaction.
You can create a lock on a object of SAP thorugh transaction SE11 and enter any meaningful name start with EZ Example EZTEST_LOCK.
Use: you can see in almost all transaction when you are open an object in Change mode SAP could not allow to any other user to open the same object in change mode.
Example: in HR when we are enter a personal number in master data maintainance screen SAP can't allow to any other user to use same personal number for changes.
Technicaly:
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.

Not Reflecting all the field defined in User Field Key - WBS

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am not able to view the fields which are user defined in field key. I need all four character fields and date fields.
Please guide...

Hi,
First check in transaction OPS1 for these user fields. Next check whether there's an authorization object specified to these user fields. If yes, then maybe you wont be having access to it. Kindly check and confirm.

I get error message user\anja\app data.....

error message: user\anja\app data\temp\glf8de5.tmp please help

If you simply check the domain WERT7, you'll see that the checkbox for "Sign" is not checked. Therefore negative numbers are not allowed.
Just because a field is decimal or currency does not mean that negatives are allowed.
Many times, the sign is handled by a separate debit/credit indicator field such as a field with a domain of SHKZG.

User field in Project def.

Dear All,
I am working on one Yreport which gives STATE/ Location wise output, which we are maintaining in coding mask.
Two characters in coding mask denotes STATE and in same Plant/Site we can have multiple STATE.
Supposing " Minnesota" is a state then in Project def. two character will be "MN".
ABAP team is facing problem fetching this two character from Proj. Def.
Can we have any option like user field at WBS in Project definition level.
Else can you suggest any other option for this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitish

Dear All,
As an alternate solution, I think location can be use for this requirement which is available in organizational data in project.
Kindly revert if there is any concern in using this solution.
