RAP‑Based Service Does Not Support Aggregation Totals with Filters and Group‑By with Crud

2026-02-05T11:50:13.971000+01:00

Problem Description:

We are implementing a Fiori Elements List Report using a RAP‑based OData service (OData V2 or V4).
The business requirement is to show aggregated totals (SUM) for multiple numeric columns. These totals must update dynamically whenever:

Filters are applied
Group By is enabled
Group levels expand/collapse
Sorting or table personalization is applied

Most Important Requirement:

When the List Report table is grouped, the system must display an aggregation subtotal row for each group (group-level total), not only a grand total.

However, RAP currently does not allow analytical annotations or analytical CDS entities to be used with transactional behavior. Because of this limitation:

We cannot enable annotations such as
- @analytics.query: true
- @DefaultAggregation: #SUM
- @Aggregation.default: #SUM
RAP services cannot perform backend aggregations or expose group-level totals.
As a result, neither grand totals nor group-level totals can appear in the List Report.

Observed Limitation:

Backend (RAP):

RAP business objects with behavior definitions do not support analytical CDS views.
Aggregations and group-by queries are not supported in RAP OData V2 or OData V4.
Analytical annotations cannot be used on projection or interface views participating in RAP.

PATCH operation failed on API_SALES_ORDER_SRV

2026-02-06T03:22:37.023000+01:00

Hello Team,

I am going to update two fields one from header i.e "PurchaseOrderByCustomer" and another from Item "RequestedQuantity".
These two fields available in A_SalesOrderItem EntitySet. But when I am doing PATCH operation only "RequestedQuantity" is updating not "PurchaseOrderByCustomer".

I am using url
/sap/opu/odata/sap/API_SALES_ORDER_SRV/A_SalesOrderItem(SalesOrder='7000000223',SalesOrderItem='0010')

{

"PurchaseOrderByCustomer": "Alex",

"RequestedQuantity": "20"

}

Is it not possible to update header field from item ? Is $batch operation work on this API ?

Can you please help me on this?

S/4HANA 2025: gCTS 'Synchronous Push' issue with GitLab repository

2026-02-06T16:19:08.350000+01:00

Hi,

I configured gCTS with a GitLab repository in an SAP S/4HANA 2025 environment. While commits work correctly upon releasing the transports, I have encountered an issue with the 'Push Objects' functionality during synchronous execution.

Debugging the point of failure reveals that the exception occurs because the system cannot identify the API user.

Comparing this method with gCTS in S/4HANA 2023, I noticed that the API object is only instantiated when using GitHub. Since I am using GitLab, the code to retrieve the API object is bypassed, which is why 'Synchronous Push Object' works correctly in that version.

Is anyone else experiencing this error using gCTS on S/4HANA 2025 + GitLab during a 'Synchronous Push Object'? If you're using gCTS on S/4HANA 2025 +GitHub instead, I’d appreciate your feedback to confirm if the functionality works in that setup.

Thank you,
Alfonso.

Timeout in RAP Action

2026-02-09T07:36:41.901000+01:00

I have a Rap app with an action in a table that is partially executed on up to 100,000 items. Processing then takes place in the backend for each location. Since this process takes a certain amount of time per item, it can take several hours for the entire logic to be completed. As a result, the process aborts in the frontend with a timeout.

I solved the problem by running the processing in an RFC module in the background. The customer does not want to extend the session length that causes the timeout. My question now is whether there are other alternatives to solve this problem?

VA01 Item Overview Sorting

2026-02-10T11:09:18.685000+01:00

Is it possible to change how the order of items are being displayed/sorted in VA01 Item Overview?

This is how the items are being sorted once I create them. The grandchild is being sorted on top due to a requirement for how the POSNR is being incremented:

4. Grandchild
1. Grandparent
2. Parent
3. Child

I need to sort it like this:

1. Grandparent
2. Parent
3. Child
4. Grandchild

Is there a way to sort it using a different field in VBAP instead of POSNR?

Any standard utility in ABAP to retrieve a version of abap dev object from Remote system

2026-02-11T15:54:32.123000+01:00

Hi All,

So basically, when we go to version management of an abap development object and retrieve a remote version from Prod to DEV, is it possible to do the same thing programmatically in abap via any standard SAP utility or workaround?

So i know we can compare the versions via the standard FM's between DEV and Prod but i also want to write abap code to retrieve and overwrite the DEV version with Prod (just like we do manually in version management using retrieve button)

ADT Code Completion is (Still) Slow

2026-02-11T16:33:34.928000+01:00

Hello all,

as mentioned in a previous Q&A which was not answered, ADT code completion is still unusably slow.

When typing in SE38 with my normal typing speed, I can eaily get code completions when pressing tab:

https://streamable.com/012r9y

However, when typing with the same speed in eclipse I am always too fast for the code completion, as it takes roughly twice as long to show compared to SE38

https://streamable.com/i9o363

So in Eclipse I would need to actively wait:

https://streamable.com/fcqgp0

Which is simply unacceptable. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I copied a standard form with SBF transactioin, but the new form does not display transaction data

2026-02-11T23:59:04.870000+01:00

Hi,

I copy standard form /SCWM/HU_SHPLABEL by clicking the copy icon and created a new ZSHP label. I also activated it.

I did this only with the form not with the interface, maybe that is what I am missing.

My problem is that when I test the form only the static text is coming up (titles) not the transaction data, like it will show DATE: but then nothing, and when I use the standard form it works.

Does anyone have an idea what i did wrong?

Dynamic programming in RAP for excel upload

2026-02-12T15:57:39.780000+01:00

Hello All,

We have a requirement to have a single interface in RAP, which can upload excel data to around 30 tables that we select via drop-down or screen.

In the report program, we have an option upload excel to tables with dynamic programming with minimum efforts. We were achieving this by maintaining the tables in tvarvc, using the system classes and use Excel upload to populate the tables, and this would rarely require any enhancement.

Is there any way that we can do the same in RAP framework, as creating i view, c view. Meta data extension and behaviour definition for 30 tables is a tedious task.

Function to ABAP transition

2026-02-13T13:10:31.838000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I've worked on SAP QM module in a support project for 5+ years. I was trained in ABAP and I'm from Computer science background.

Is it now possible to move to technical? or it will be best to stay in functional only and if yes what should I learn to be market relevant and employable.

Thanks in Advance

SE78: “Logo not found” error when sending mail with inline image

2026-02-13T14:30:58.178000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I am facing an issue while sending emails that include an inline logo image.

During the email sending process, the system throws a “Logo not found” error related to SE78, and the email is not sent.

What I Have Checked

Verified that the logo exists in SE78
Confirmed that the logo name is correctly referenced in the program
Checked SCOT configuration
SMTP is working correctly
Executed RSCONN01 manually

Despite these checks, the error persists.

Question

Are there additional settings or dependencies in SE78 that could cause this issue?

Is there anything specific I should verify regarding logo storage type (BMAP/BDS) or client dependency?

The code block is below.

CTS_PROJECT needed for Transport of copies in ADT

2026-02-13T15:14:16.096000+01:00

Dear Members,

in SAP GUI for Transport (Workbench/Customizing) a CTS_PROJECT is obligatory. However for Transport of Copies, there is no such field to be filled in of course. So far so good.

I am having the issue, that when I want to create a transport of copy in Transport Organiser (ADT), I am asked to fill in a CTS_PROJECT, but the field is inactive. Therefore I cannot create the transport of copy. A bit of a catch 22.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?
I can of course use the GUI to get the job done, but it is a bit disheartening regarding ADT usage.

Thanks in advance!
