2026-07-12T10:09:23.827000+02:00

Daar community,

The ABAP Sybase playground for learnign ABAP is going end of live, is there any option to extend the license at the moment?

The portal for the requests of the minisap licenses is not working at the moment.

Is SAP going to provide some sort of extensions in a different format?

Subject: Can anyone help with recording Inspection Lot defects from an SE38 custom program

2026-07-12T18:51:07.433000+02:00

Subject: Can anyone help with recording Inspection Lot defects from an SE38 custom program ?

Hi Experts,

I am working on a custom ABAP report (SE38) for SAP QM.

My requirement is to perform a partial reversal of Usage Decision. The stock reversal part is already working successfully.

After the partial reversal, I need to record a manual defect against the Inspection Lot from the same custom report.

I investigated the standard SAP QM interface and found the function module QIRF_GET_DEFECT_ITEMS2. According to SAP QM-IDI documentation, this FM is used to confirm defect items using record types such as Q90 (Inspection Lot), Q91 (Operation), Q92 (Characteristic), Q95, and Q96.

I have also debugged the standard implementation and found that:

QIRF_GET_DEFECT_ITEMS2
→ DEFECT_ITEM_RECORDING
→ QFFE_DEFECT_ITEMS_GENER_LOT

I am populating the QMIFE structure and calling the FM from my SE38 report.

However, I currently cannot complete end-to-end testing because there is no QM inspection lot test data available in my DEV system.

My questions are:

Is QIRF_GET_DEFECT_ITEMS2 the correct SAP-standard FM to record manual defects from a custom SE38 program?
Has anyone successfully used this FM from a custom report (not from QE51N or another standard transaction)?
For Inspection Lot defects (Q90), which QMIFE fields are mandatory?
Is there any SAP-recommended alternative API/BAPI for this requirement?

Any sample code or working example would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Custom Field Not Visible in FAGLL03H Report Output or Layout in PRD

2026-07-13T07:57:00.496000+02:00

Hi Experts,

I have extended transaction FAGLL03H by implementing the FAGL_LIB BAdI (IF_FAGL_LIB~SELECT_DATA) to display a custom field in the report output.

Implementation Details

BAdI: FAGL_LIB
Method Implemented: IF_FAGL_LIB~SELECT_DATA
Custom field appended to:
- SGLPOS_N_CT
- SGLPOS_N_GL_CT

Issue

The enhancement is working as expected in both Development (DEV) and Quality (QAS) systems. The custom field is available in the report output and can also be added through the layout.

However, in the Production (PRD) system, the custom field is not available in the report output or in the layout field selection.

Analysis Performed

The append structures are present and active in SE11 in PRD.
The BAdI implementation is active in PRD.
The transport has been imported successfully.
During debugging in IF_FAGL_LIB~SELECT_DATA, I observed that the custom field is not available in <ls_data> (LIKE LINE OF CT_DATA) or in CT_DATA.
One difference I noticed is that transaction HDBVIES was not executed in PRD after transporting the enhancement, although it is mentioned as a post-transport step in the SAP documentation/blog for extending FAGLL03H.

Queries

Could the absence of the custom field in CT_DATA be due to HDBVIEWS not being executed in PRD?
Is executing HDBVIEWS mandatory after appending custom fields to SGLPOS_N_CT and SGLPOS_N_GL_CT?
Is it sufficient to regenerate only the relevant HDB views, or is it necessary to regenerate all HDB views?
If all HDB views are regenerated in the Production system, is there any risk of impacting existing custom developments or standard reports?
Are there any additional activation or post-transport steps that should be performed to make the custom field available in FAGLL03H?

I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance from anyone who has encountered a similar issue.

Thank you.

License Portal Down - Urgent Renewal for AS ABAP 7.52 Dev Edition (NPL)

2026-07-13T14:36:16.896000+02:00

Hi the SAP Community,

I am currently using the SAP AS ABAP 7.52 Developer Edition (MiniSAP), and my license is going to expire very soon on July 17.

I am trying to renew it, but the official license portal (go.support.sap.com/minisap) is currently down and showing an error message.

I already contacted the Customer Interaction Center (CIC), but since I am a free user without S-User authorizations, they told me they could not process a standard support case for me.

Could you please advise on how free users can renew their license keys during this portal downtime, or let us know when it might be back online?

My System ID is NPL - SAP NetWeaver 7.x (Sybase ASE).
(For privacy and security reasons, I have omitted my Hardware Key here, but I can provide it via private message if you are able to generate a key for me).

Thank you so much for your support!

Best regards,
Kunihiro Nakano

Repeated RAP update of business partner is causing error

2026-07-13T15:32:26.497000+02:00

Hi All,

I'm trying to update tax numbers of business partners using RAP. It is working if there is a single update. If multiple updates I'm trying each with its own commit then the following error is coming.

Parameter IV_X_SAVE is '' for FM BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE. It should be 'A'.

Anyone faced this error. Any solution for this.

VA01 vertical scrollbar visible only after horizontal scrolling

2026-07-14T21:52:04.526000+02:00

Hi,

I am using an SAP test system based on Global Bike as part of my studies. I noticed a usability issue in transaction VA01.

When the SAP GUI window is maximized, the right-side vertical scrollbar is visible and the bottom horizontal scrollbar is not needed. However, when the window is reduced, the bottom horizontal scrollbar appears and the vertical scrollbars move to the far right side.

I have also seen a case in another S/4HANA system where these scrollbars were displayed even when the SAP GUI window was maximized. In that case, the user had to move the bottom horizontal scrollbar to the right in order to access the vertical scrollbar. After doing this, the left part of the screen was cut off and fields/tabs such as Order Reason were no longer visible.

This is not convenient when creating sales orders where the Order Reason field needs to be used, because the user has to scroll horizontally just to access the vertical scrollbar, and then loses visibility of the left side of the screen.

I checked a similar VA01 layout in SE51. The main screen was SAPMV45A / 4001, and the lower area was defined as SUBSCREEN_BODY.

My questions are:

From a technical point of view, can this behaviour be changed by adjusting the dynpro/subscreen layout in SE51/SE80?
Is the scrollbar position controlled by the width/position of the lower subscreen area, for example SUBSCREEN_BODY?
Or is the scrollbar position fully controlled by SAP GUI / standard SAP screen behaviour?
Why does the screen not adjust to the available SAP GUI window size in the same way as in the old SAP system?

I understand that changing SAPMV45A would be a standard modification, but I would like to understand what technically controls the position of this vertical scrollbar and why the screen does not resize in the same way as in the legacy SAP system.

If this is not the correct board, please advise where this SAP GUI / dynpro layout question should be posted.

Thank you.

Hi Experts,

I'm looking for a functionality of transferring newly created material to SAP DM, all configurations and integrations are in place. System is able to trigger MATMAS Idoc when sending from BD10.

But I have scheduled a job in the background for the program - RBDMIDOC (BD21) and after creating a new material via MM01, system is sending all the materials to SAP DM. How to set criteria or filter only to send newly created material.

And in BDCP2 table there are some logs available not processed yet, but its a mix of multiple message types and for MATMAS only 64 entries are showing.

Extracting COSP data in S/4HANA for Datasphere/SAC

2026-07-15T23:02:37.737000+02:00

Hello experts,

In our current project we completed a migration to SAP S/4HANA and we are now starting to use SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud for reporting (we're relatively new to SAP's reporting reporting tools).

Before the migration, our reporting relied on extractions from tables COSP and COSS. From what I understand, in S/4HANA the actuals are now stored in ACDOCA, and based on the available Datasphere business content I found a CDS view that allows me to extract actual data from ACDOCA.

However, I am unsure how to handle the planning data that previously came from COSP and COSS.
Are these planning records now stored in ACDOCP in S/4HANA?
Or do I need to design a custom CDS view or another extraction process to retrieve planning data for COSP reporting?

Any guidance or best practices for handling COSP/COSS planning data in S/4HANA (especially when integrating with Datasphere and SAC) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Team,

The screen painter display is blank after executing 0101 screen in SAPMV45A program of SE80. Please assist.

We have tried the AI generated resolution and SAP Note 2297314 but it didn't work. We created and executed the program set in SAMT still the issue was not resolved. The screen was blank itself.

SAP Smart Form – eWay Bill Number Missing in PDF (Intermittent Issue)

2026-07-16T20:56:47.777000+02:00

SAP Smart Form – eWay Bill Number Missing in PDF (Intermittent Issue)

Hi Experts,

I am facing an intermittent issue in SAP Smart Forms related to eWay Bill printing for a production output type (ZPID).

Scenario

The invoice is created successfully.

The eWay Bill is generated and stored in the database.

During debugging, the eWay Bill number is available in the Smart Form Initialization.

The value is also present in the OTF output.

There are no conditions on the Smart Form window or text node that suppress the field.

However, the final PDF displays the eWay Bill number as blank for some invoices.

The issue is intermittent; other invoices print correctly.

Observations

The Smart Form generates the OTF with the correct eWay Bill value.

Since the value exists in the OTF, it appears that the Smart Form generation is successful.

The issue seems to occur only in the final PDF output.

Timing Analysis

Working case:

Invoice creation: 10:49:38

eWay Bill generation: 10:51:00

Delay: 1 minute 22 seconds

Negative case 1:

Invoice creation: 23:10:35

eWay Bill generation: 23:15:00

Delay: 4 minutes 25 seconds

Negative case 2:

Invoice creation: 12:04:13

eWay Bill generation: 12:09:00

Delay: 4 minutes 47 seconds

Both negative cases show a similar delay of around 5 minutes, while the working case has only about 1 minute 22 seconds delay.

Our team also noted that the eWay Bill response is updated by a background job running periodically, and one suggestion was to temporarily increase the job frequency to see whether the number of intermittent issues decreases.

My Questions

If the eWay Bill value is already present in the OTF, what could cause it to disappear in the final PDF?

Can digitally signed Smart Forms or the PDF generation process use an older snapshot of the data instead of the current OTF?

Has anyone seen a similar issue where OTF contains the correct value but the generated PDF is blank?

Besides timing, what other areas should I investigate (spool processing, digital signature, PDF conversion, output processing, etc.)?

Any suggestions or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

PIR Scales enhancement in Ck40n and Ck11n

2026-07-17T07:57:23.644000+02:00

Hello everyone

The customer's current requirement is to not use the Costing Lot Size from the cost accounting view to find the scales pricing in the PIR (Purchasing Info Record),
but instead to use the fixed Lot Size from the MRP 1 view.
I would like to ask the experts here if anyone has implemented this enhancement before, and if so, what impacts might there be?

SAP Systemstatus / Userstatus

2026-07-17T10:32:02.096000+02:00

You know when you think you know a lot and then everything feels so unreal, you dont understand nothing anymore,
and you want to get out of the Rabit-Hole(...)

In SAP there are the tables

TJ30/TJ30T (User-Status)
TJ02/Texttable TJ02T (Systemstatus)

According to a Kollege 1 User-Status is uniquely assigned to exactly 1
System-Status. Where/how do I Find this unique link. I mean there must be a table where TJ02-ISTAT
where TJ02-ISTAT is linked to TJ30-ESTAT?

I want to set new User Status of an Object (in this case it is a Network in PS with BAPI)
In object oriented Programming I define Interfaces with constants like this:

BEGIN OF mc_user_status,
released TYPE j_status VALUE 'E0004', "Anwenderstatus Freigegeben
END OF mc_user_status .

Is this a bad approach? Which "Status" or Primary Key "defines" the "State" "RELEASED" ob this Object?
Would this be better

BEGIN OF mc_system_status,
released TYPE j_status VALUE 'I0004', "Systemstatus Freigegeben"
END OF mc_user_status .

Now I determine the user-status which is assigned to the system-Status 'I0004' and this one I set with the BAPI as a new User-Status

Official ABAP MCP Server for AI Integration

2026-07-20T11:56:17.498000+02:00

Currently we're doing analysis and testing in integrating ABAP MCP on Eclipse to connect to our sandbox system.
It seems that the MCP server offered SAP is limited since AI cant edit existing object (although we can create new one).

I have tried community MCP server and it was able to do it. are there any way ABAP MCP tool for editing can be enabled?
was it disabled in purpose to prevent premature / accidental damage to existing objects.

F1861 - Display Supplier List : Change Responsive Table to Grid Table Using Adaptation Project.

2026-07-20T15:27:26.939000+02:00

Hi Experts,

I am working on standard Sap Fiori app F1861 In S/4 Hana 2022 FPS02. Business wants to replace the responsive table with a grid table so user can a horizontal scrollbar and view all columns at ones. I tried changing the table type from all responsive to grid using an adaptation project, and also tried controller extension and manifest change, but the app fails at runtime with error

"getTable().setFixedLayout is not a function",

and doesn't load properly. I also checked SAP KBA 3460918, and it says F1861 uses a responsive table by design, and no horizontal scroll is provided. Is there any officially supported way to change it to a grid table, maybe via CDS annotation or a sap note? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Quick Fix: System Number Mismatch in MiniSAP (Developer Trial 2022/2023)

2026-07-24T01:42:07.393000+02:00

When setting up the ABAP Cloud Developer Trial (MiniSAP)—as referenced in the abap-cloud-developer-trial-2022-available-now—you may encounter an issue when installing your trial license via transaction SLICENSE:, transaction SLICENSE fails with this error:

❌ "This system’s system number is “000000000xxxxxx”, but there is a licence key for system number “000000000yyyyy” in the licence key file."

The Cause

The new license generation page: 🔗 https://zlicensekeyminisap-supportportal.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com/?hc_reset#/minisap

Generates a file named A4H_Multiple.txt that contains a mismatched SYSTEM-NR parameter which does not match your local system.

Quick Solution

Get your System Number: Open SLICENSE in MiniSAP and note your actual System Number (e.g., 000000000xxxxxx).
Edit A4H_Multiple.txt: Open the license file downloaded from the portal in a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, etc.).
Replace SYSTEM-NR: Find the SYSTEM-NR field—which appears twice in the file—and replace its value with your local System Number.
Install: Save the file and upload it in SLICENSE.

Problem solved! 🚀
