Purchase Requisition Item Fiori App Enhancement without using SAP BAS

2025-03-12T03:21:26.643000+01:00

Hello experts,

I would like to seek advice and guidance on whether if this enhancement is workable without SAP BAS.

The requirement is to add a customize field under "Valuation" called "Discount Amount" or "Discount %", and the user will enter the amount or % in that customize field and the "Valuation Price" as highlighted in the screenshot below will auto deduct from the amount entered (which means there will be some calculation logic). For example, if user enters 20 at the new customized field "Discount Amount", the valuation price will change to 180 instead of 200.

Any inputs are highly appreciated! Thank you so much!

CDS Hierarchy - DEFINITION

2025-03-12T13:14:23.509000+01:00

In ABAP Platform 2022 I'm reading in the keyword documentation about a CDS Hierarchy. In the chapter about the statement DEFINE HIERARCHY the option DIRECTORY is explained with an example. This is the CDS Hierarchy DEMO_CDS_PARENT_CHILD_DIR. The source is the CDS View Entity DEMO_CDS_PARENT_CHILD_SRC_DIR. Here the following hierarchy association is defined:
association [1..*] to DEMO_CDS_PARENT_CHILD_SRC_DIR as _pcr on
$projection.parent = _pcr.id and
$projection.dir_entry = _pcr.id

My question is about the second part of the ON condition: $projection.dir_entry = _pcr.id.

What is it doing?
It is not showing up in the hierarchy attribute NODE_ID.
When I delete it, the result is the same. When I remove the DIRECTORY option in the definition I get another result where the condition seems to be taken into account.

SEGW: reflect boolean Data Element change of domain (e.g. XFIELD to XFELD)

2025-03-12T14:57:04.488000+01:00

Hello all,

I have an entity type with its properties imported from a DDIC structure, I have generated everything correctly.

I have an error in /IWFND/GW_CLIENT on a POST request with JSON body: CX_SXML_PARSE_ERROR/001560AA0E081DEB8CA398CC1690D406 "Error while parsing an XML stream" (French: "Erreur lors de l'analyse d'un flux XML")

The exception is raised by the method READ_SIMPLE_PROPERTY_VALUE of /IWCOR/CL_DS_EP_READER_JSON, if I understand well, it considers that the entity type property XXXX is of type Edm.String but the value in the request body is boolean ("XXXX":true).

I don't know why it considers the property XXXX as type Edm.String because it's defined as Edm.Boolean (it's what I want). There's no SEGW conversion warning about it.

So, maybe the issue is about the domain XFIELD.

As I can see in the SAP OData documentation (ABAP Dictionary Type to EDM.Type Mapping), a boolean should not be XFIELD.

So, I've changed it from XFIELD to XFELD and I regenerated the OData service.

I restarted /IWFND/GW_CLIENT, I cleared the backend buffer:

I restarted /IWFND/GW_CLIENT, tested again, but still the same error happens.

What do you think the problem is?
Is it the regeneration which doesn't detect the domain change? Should I force the regeneration of the property by changing anything for this property, e.g. change the type to Edm.String, regenerate the service, then change back to Edm.Boolean and regenerate again?
There's no "hub system", there's physically only one backend system. Are there two different buffers if there's only one backend system, and should I clear "on both systems"?

Thanks a lot!

Lock WBS Element programmatically using BAPI or Function Module

2025-03-12T17:16:04.443000+01:00

Hello Experts,

My requirement is to lock WBS element programmatically using BAPi or Function Module. I have found one BAPI 'BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI' to update the WBS element, but didn't found any field to lock the WBS element under project definition and project profile level.

If anyone has worked on this kind of a requirement / any suggestions would be helpful.

Savely secure Credentials in ABAP

2025-03-13T10:13:23.735000+01:00

Hello SAP community,

I've been tasked to come up with a solution for savely storing credentials inside ABAP, but there doesn't seem to be an option that cannot simply be reversed by using se37, se38 or even a plain select statement.

I've tried a few thinks but in the end everything comes out to the same, so in the end I've settled on using the cl_hard_wired_encryptor and encrypting the password and key before storing them into a custom database Table. The Problem is that anyone with access to se37 and the Key which has to be hardcoded in the program which is using the credentials can access them in plain text.

Does anyone know of any possibility available to customers to secure credentials?

Thanks in advance

Scrolling table control

2025-03-13T10:23:24.102000+01:00

Hi,

I have a screen that contains a table, which should be populated by default when the screen is opened. So, I put my selection logic in the PBO event, and it retrieves and displays the data when the screen opens.

But the problem is that when I scroll up or down in the table, it navigates back to the previous screen.

'Modify' stmt showing sy-subrc = 0 for duplicate record

2025-03-13T17:14:13.682000+01:00

Hi,
In my prog, I am updating a Z*table using Modify from a workarea stmt within a loop..endloop.
The work area is exactly like DBtable structure with 4 unique keys. I have 4 keys in a Z*Table.

I have a Modify Z*INVDBTAB from wa_invdoc stmt. Modify is showing sy-subrc = 0 even when it encounters a duplicate record with same set of unique keys but fortunately the Z*DB table is NOT updating that duplicate record(which is correct).

The Modify stsmt should show sy-subrc = 4 right?

Can someone Pls clarify.

Method transport syntax check error due to "old alias code" presence (ZCX exception class)

2025-03-13T21:39:22.569000+01:00

Hello,

I had a weird error when transporting a custom exception class (ZCX inheriting from CX_NO_CHECK).

I explain what the issue was, how I solved, but my question is about how to avoid the issue in the future.

So, here was the issue:

I had a transport request which contains all sections and all methods of the class as LIMU entries (CLSD, CPUB, CPRO, CPRI, METH).

After importing the transport request in a system, I had a syntax error although the code should be theoretically the same as the code in the development system.

To my big surprise, in the target system, in the table TMDIR (index of methods), I can see that the methods are "duplicated", I expect only the methods with the interface names:

Via SE24, I can see that the code of IF_MESSAGE~GET_LONGTEXT contains the old code (I suspect that it looks at the method at index 2), but the code of IF_MESSAGE~GET_TEXT contains the new code (I guess it's the method at index 5). The transport log doesn't show any error (except the syntax error), and if I compare "import phase" of the transport logs of two systems, one with error, one without error, the import phases show exactly the same information, which mention only the method at indexes 4 and 5, e.g. "method IF_MESSAGE~GET_LONGTEXT include ZCX======CM004 will be imported as ZCX======CM004")

Probably the history of the source code explains the situation (but it's not sufficient to explain why it didn't happen in the other systems):

Version 1: the class creation was via Eclipse ADT with this code:

METHODS get_longtext REDEFINITION.

METHODS get_text REDEFINITION.

Version 2: it was changed via Form-Based ABAP Editor (transport was OK) - The only explanation I could find why the interface name was added to the method redefinitions is that the menu "Utilities > Regenerate sections" was used, other modifications and functions don't seem to add the interface name:

methods IF_MESSAGE~GET_LONGTEXT redefinition .

methods IF_MESSAGE~GET_TEXT redefinition .

Version 3: the source code was changed again via Eclipse ADT, and the transport failed:

METHODS get_longtext REDEFINITION.

METHODS get_text REDEFINITION.

That's also weird because in some other systems, although the transports were done exactly in the same sequence, and they seem to be all the same versions and support packages, the two "alias methods" were removed between version 2 and version 3: in these systems, in TMDIR, after version 3 was imported, I see the two methods IF_MESSAGE~GET_LONGTEXT and IF_MESSAGE~GET_TEXT (which demonstrates that using METHODS get_text REDEFINITION without the interface name is not always an issue). Note that in these systems, these methods are assigned the indexes "4" and "5".

The issue was solved by transporting the whole class using R3TR CLAS ZCX... The two old methods "2" and "3" were removed, only the latest code is kept, as you can see:

So, my two questions are:

Why is there an error, did I miss an SAP note?
How to avoid this error in the future, should we always opt for one variant of METHODS REDEFINITION?

I'd love it if you can find some links to SAP documentation about this issue.

Thanks for reading!
Sandra

Systems: all are 7.40 SP 23, kernel 753 SP 1300

NB: I guess that the error is not limited to exceptions classes (but I can't be sure of course), it's probably related to any classes where the methods are:

defined in interfaces,
"aliased" in the class implementing the interface (as it happens in CX_ROOT),
are redefined in a subclass (as it happens in my ZCX class)

(For my reference, the transport request is XXXK910882)

Display PE51 Payslip on Adobe From

2025-03-13T21:52:04.385000+01:00

Hi,

I am looking for a way to display a payslip rendered as a PE51 form on a interactive adobe form. I found 3 function modules that gives me the payslip according to the variant... BAPI_GET_PAYSLIP, BAPI_GET_PAYSLIP_PDF and BAPI_GET_PAYSLIP_HTML. I am looking for a way to either display HTML or the SAP Script table output or the PDF binary out on a custom adobe form? Any suggestions on how to do it? I was thinking of either sending the pdf binary to a image object on the adobe form or sending the SAP Script to a text object?

Just a few comments.. No I don't want to create a payslip in HRFORMS and no I don't want to convert the SAP Script straight to PDF.. I need to get that data to a custom adobe form:)

Kind Regards

COND_COUNT - Cannot convert 123 into NUM: loss of significant digits. SAP NCo issue.

2025-03-14T09:25:38.711000+01:00

Hello,

Recently we started getting "Cannot convert 123 into NUM: loss of significant digits." error from NCo library for the specific field - COND_COUNT from BAPICOND structure.

By default the length of this field is 2 digits, but the thing is we have some cases when amount of price conditions is more then 99 and that's why it fails now.

As I understood this field controls the order of price conditions and quite important to get a correctly price calculated.

We are using: BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2 function to create quote and one of the input parameter there is COND_COUNT.

Can someone please advice what is possible solution here if you faced this issue also?
I'm wondering is it possible to increase COND_COUNT length to 3 or 4 digits and what is the impact of this change on SAP system?

Maybe there is another way how to make it work with the default field length, what is the general/suggested approach in this type of issue?

Sap NCo version is - 3.1.0.42.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Dmitriy

How to Add a Filter in SAP Cloud RESTful Application Programming Without Affecting Data Retrieval?

2025-03-14T11:38:29.288000+01:00

Hi everyone,

I am working on a Fiori Elements application and want to add a new filter parameter (e.g., CustomDateFilter as shown in the screenshot). However, I don’t want this parameter to impact the actual data retrieval when clicking the Go button. Instead, I need it for additional processing or logic within the application.

How can I implement this in SAP Fiori Elements or RAP without affecting the dataset returned from the backend? Are there any best practices for handling such scenarios? (By the way i am using Restful Application Programming).

Thanks in advance!

2025-03-14T11:51:28.855000+01:00

Hi everyone,

I am developing a Fiori Elements application using RESTful Application Programming (RAP). I have added a custom button (e.g., "KURBUTON"), but it appears inactive (disabled). However, I want this button to be always active, regardless of whether any selections are made.

Here is the code I used for the button:

projection;

//strict ( 2 );

define behavior for ZC_ZBA_P_01 //alias <alias_name>

{

// use create;

// use update;

// use delete;

use action KURBUTON ;

// use function kurbuton;

}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

managed implementation in class zbp_i_zba_m_001 unique;

//strict ( 2 );

define behavior for ZI_ZBA_M_001 //alias <alias_name>

persistent table I_ExchangeRateRawData

lock master

authorization master ( instance )

//etag master <field_name>

{

// create;

// update;

// delete;

// field ( readonly ) ExchangeRateType, SourceCurrency, TargetCurrency, ValidityStartDate;

action ( features: instance) KURBUTON result[1]$self;
