WAD: change variable description in Info Field

Hi guys,
I have created a Web Template with the Web Application Designer (WAD). Using an Info Field item (Info Filed properties > Data Binding > Text Element Type > Variable Value ) I displayed the variable filter value used to launch the Web Template. The available values are: Default, Manual and Listed. I have to choose one of the listed variable changing the variable description. I tried to change it also changing the XHTML code, but launching the Web Template the system automatically recalls the original variable description.
Can anyone let me know how I can do it?
Thanks.

Hi Giulia,
We cant do this WAD , need to do it in query designer.( Cant edit a query in WAD)
If u want to change the descriptions of the chars u created, u can do it in the infoobject level it self.

Priya.

Change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY

Can i change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY report in the output of the report.or only the standard descriptions can be displayed.
Edited by: mysap query on May 12, 2009 7:23 AM

HI,
in query maintenance (sq01) you can change the text of the field at the selection screen (change the selection text in the screen where you choose the selection fields) and the header text in the output list (basiclist maintennace , go to "basic list header", double-click each header field to maintain the text). This change is only for the particular query. No ABAP-er required to do so.

Hi Madhu,
It should work. Plz. check your variable settings again.
Display Static Filter Values = Off (On in case you want to display characteristic restrictions used in your query)
Display General Text Elements = Off (On in case you want infoprovider information)
Display Dynamic Filter Values = Off (On in case you want dynamic filters on runtime to be displayed)
Display Variables = On
Variable Settings -> Only Variables with Values = On

Document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section

Dear all,
I have a document library using 3 Content Types with metadata columns and a Word-template.
The values of these metadata columns should be displayed within the Word-documents created from content type.
So I've inserted document info fields into the Word-template to display them.
But unfortunately the placeholders are not updated when opening the document again, after metadata values had been changed e.g. by using the edit-form within the list.
From what I have seen so far, this only refers to document info fields resident in header or footer sections.
But this is where I need to place them.
Does anybody know this issue and has an idea of how to fix it?
Could VBA be of use here?
Best regards,
Ben

Hi,
Based on your description, document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section.
Per my test, document info fields in Word will update when placed in document header-section.
Refer to the following article about Add SharePoint Metadata to Word Documents:

If I misunderstanding the issue, Please offer a screenshot about your issue.

Changing description of a field in shopping cart form in SRM Portal

IOS 8: The textbox to change the description field of the iCloud email account no longer exists

The textbox to change the description of the iCloud email account that existed in all previous versions of iOS, and is available for all other types of email accounts under iOS 8, appears to have been removed. Without this textbox, it is not possible to change the default description of "iCould", or to change a description that was set with a previous version of iOS. The description field still exists, as the value that I set on a previous version of iOS is still being used by some of my iOS devices, but there is currently no way to change it via the current iOS 8 UI. The description field is available to change for all other kinds of email accounts.

Confimed. And I hope they put it back soon.
I used an iCloud backup to transfer everything on my iPhone 5s to my iPhone 6. The (modified) description for my iCloud account transferred and appears the way I want it to appear on my iPhone 6. However, it cannot be changed.
Alternatively, I also have a new iPad Air 2 that I set up as a completely new iPad (i.e. I did not transfer anything from an older iPad). The iPad shows the description for my iCloud account as the default: "iCloud." It, too, cannot be changed.
True, this is only a minor annoyance, but it would be less of an issue if Apple had not removed a feature that previously existed in iOS 7.
I'm not sure if the removal was intentional or unintentional, but, again, I hope this gets fixed soon. In the meantime, I would be interested in anyone can find a workaround.

Changing the description field in AP Invoice

Hi is it possible to change the description field in an 'open' posted AP or AR invoice? I assume you have to credit note the invoice and re enter it with the new line item description which seems a long way around when only the text is being changed and not the coding or amounts.
thanks judi

Info field with Rulluptime in WAD

Hi
In the WAD we use a info field element that shows the rolluptime of the data provider. The time is not the same as shown in the administartion of the info cube (differs by one hour). All our systems use the same clock which is correct. Could it be that the time shown in the WAD is allways using GMT time and not GMT+1 which we are located in?
We use NW04s BI SP09
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Arun
Thanks for answering my question. We don't use a multi provider. If I run the query in RSRT I get the correct time. If I run the query i Analyzer (excel) I get the correct time. But if I run the query in Query Designer I get the wrong time. Both WAD and Query Designer use the portal and they both give the wrong time (most likely GMT time).
The use that I use is set up to use CET (GMT+1) in SU01 (we use CUA).
Kind regards
Erik

Change description of value fields and segment level chars in prod system

Hi
1 . We would like to change the description of some value fields.... We would like to know whether the change has to be carried out directly in the production client by opening the client using SCC4 or we should change the description in development client and transport it to production...
We are afraid that if we transport the operating concern again from dev to production system using KE3I, it may affect the transaction data which is already lying in the production system
2. We would also like to create and include some new fields as Segment level characteristics in COPA... What is the proces for the same and whether the same has to be done directly in production or transported from dev client
3. Some value fields which were copied in our operating concern from a template of Air line Industry, are not suitable to oour business. So we are trying to change their description.. But SAP does not allow to change the description of thes value fields..
Only those value fields which were created by us starting from VV***, can be changed.. Description of those delivered from the template, cant be changed. What is the process of doing the same
Regards
Ajay Maheshwari

Hi
When the Operating concern was copied from Airline Industry, many standard chars which are not applicable to Airline Industry were not copied.... For eg: Material group 1 to 5... These are std fields of Mat master which normally exist in Operating concern when I used to create it manually.... Many other chars reqd by the business are not available
Someone else copied it using Airline template and many reqd chars are not available at all... I have the option of creating User defined chars for it and write a derivation rule to populate it...
Though COPA is active, my client does not use it as of now in ECC 5.0.. They would like to use it post ECC 6.0.. So, I thought its better to start afresh than carrying forward the mistakes done by someone else.. They are OK with this model, but I wanted to be sure what all issues can be faced due to this
Regards
Ajay Maheshwari

Change the field description of a field in MM01,MM02, and MM03 Transaction

Hi Experts,
I had a requirement to change the field description of a field in MM01,MM02, and MM03. I know how to change the description of field in CMOD. In my requirement they need this new description only in the above mention transaction. So please let me know how we can do this?
Regards,
Ram

Hi you can do this by SPRO transaction. Here you can copy the subscreen where you want the description of the field changed. And in the custom subscreen go to the Element list- >Texts I/O templates , Here you can change the description. After all this the customized subscreen is assigned in the proper sequence. The step by step process is below:
Step 1:
Click on the button u2018SAP Reference IMGu2019. Then follow the path Logistics-General -> Material Master -> Configuring the Material Master. When this particular node is expanded, a drop down list of 7 different executable options appears.
Step 2: Execute the option u2018Create Program for Customized Subscreensu2019
Step 3: Copy the screens required to the custom function group.
Step 4: In transaction SPRO, execute the option u2018Define Structure of Data Screens for each Screen sequenceu2019.
Step 5: Now in transaction SPRO execute the option Assign Screen sequences to User/ Material Type/ Transaction/ Industry Sector.

Showin a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login

Hi,
Client requirement is to show a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login.
e.g. a Characteristic Name is Level1 with a description as 'Level1'. If a user in Canada logs in and see a BEx report he should be able to see the description for infoobject Level1 as 'Cost center'. A user in US may wish to see the description as 'Expense center' etc. etc.
Is it possible to do so ? If yes please let me know ASAP.
Do not get confused with language dependant texts.
Regards,
K.Manikandan.

Hi,
I don't think it is possible through standard functionality, but maybe you could try a workaround.
Create a Characteristic (say COMP) with text, and compound it with Infoobject Level1. The values and description for COMP could be
US Cost Center
CN Expense Center
You could make COMP an Authorisation relevant object and check the same with regard to user login, so that the people of sepecific country see only description relevant to their COMP.
In the report Display COMP as Description and Level1 as Key.
But do not that compounding may have an impact on the performance, also look into the implications of the same if you need to do it for a large number of reports/objects.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
Anurag
