PO Modification only print the line changed in the pdf embeded in modification email

2024-08-26T20:31:26.614000+02:00

Hi
We are trying to reove message sending on delivery completed for POs.

We first went to SPRO : Materials Management > Purchasing > Messages > Fields relevant to printouts of changes and deselect PO column

We then had to come to SPRO and add
Materials Management > Purchasing > Messages > Output Control > Message type > define message type for purchase order > Maintain Message Types for PO
We have set Program to FM06AEND and FORM routine to CHANGE_FLAG.

It seems to wok but now when we change a line (material) in the PO, instead of receiving the whole new PO attached as PDF, the PDF only contains the line changed.

Do you know where this could come from ? Or do you know what is the abap program called to generate the PO PDF ?

Thanks

2024-08-27T03:29:58.471000+02:00

Hi Experts,

Unable to convert an SAP Script as a PDF and send it via OData (for PDF Viewer Functionality)

2024-08-27T12:33:06.144000+02:00

Hi Experts,

Apologies if the question is a bit vague; but I am struggling to achieve; is to convert an existing SAP Script Output to a PDF and then send that PDF via ODATA ( using Media handling ) .

The Output is a PO output designed on SAP Script. So the way I am converting it to a PDF is as follows:

1. Find out the NAST Record for a given Output
2. Using the NAST Record; get the Spool ID.
3. Using FM - RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB get the OTF Data
4. Using FM - CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF converting the ODT to PDF data
5. Then converting the PDF data to XSTRING and then passing that to my get_stream method as below:

Logic for converting SAP Script to PDF:

However when I test the Get_Stream method using /iwfnd/gw_client ; I get the following error:

Please advise where could I be going wrong?

A question for CDS view keys

2024-08-27T17:07:35.013000+02:00

Hi experts,

Assume there is a DB table that has 3 fields, A B and C. A and B are string fields which are also DB keys. C is a GUID fields which is not a DB key.

And then assume I create 2 CDS view on this table: the first one is with key C, and the second one is with key C, A and B.

Which one is better from the performance point of view.

do I need a test double for 'me' method call in method under test?

2024-08-27T22:29:58.833000+02:00

Hi,
I have a method for which I am writing ABAP Unit test:

METHOD do_sth.
"Below method call sets a global attribute value
me->get_facet( ).

"Below method call returns internal table
lt_catlog = me->build_catalog( ).

**other code in method**

ENDMETHOD.

do I need to mock the above two method calls as well? how can I achieve this?
I think get_facet( ) and build_catalog( ) calls need mocking. Moreover I have already written test for these two methods individually.

How can I prevent the "delete" key from being deleted from the alv?

2024-08-28T08:06:56.253000+02:00

Hi Masters,

When the user presses the "delete" key from the keyboard, they can delete the row in the alv. I want to prevent this. My "Satır Sil" button does this task and should do this with the "Satir Sil" button.

How can I prevent the "delete" key from being deleted from the alv?

Thanks

How to parse an Employee Central ODATA into ABAP table

2024-08-28T23:15:40.272000+02:00

I can retrieve a SuccessFactors Employee Central ODATA file, for example ODATA BenefitEnrollment, using an ABAP program. But I'm unsure about how to parse the data into an internal table with the retrieved data columns and values. Does someone have an example ABAP program on how to achieve this?

Thanks,

ST05 Error "For SQL Statements with an ITAB, the Planviz is not supported"

2024-08-29T09:48:53.811000+02:00

Hi All,
We wanted to analyze the performance of below select query and we are on S4HANA OP2020 system.

SELECT
a~matnr,
a~bwkey,
a~bwtar,
a~lbkum,
a~salk3,
a~verpr,
a~zkprs,
a~timestamp
FROM mbew AS a
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT matnr, werks FROM @LT_material AS b WHERE matnr = a~matnr ) AND bwkey IN @LT_t001w_rg AND bwtar IN @LT_bwtar
INTO TABLE @DATA(lt_mbew_tabn5).

We captured ST05 trace for above SELECT query also and when we are trying to download the plan viz file it gives error like "For SQL Statements with an ITAB, the Planviz is not supported"(PFB screenshot).

It is happening because we are using @LT_material internal table in subquery.We also tried with innerjoin to @LT_material and it give same error. So how in such cases we can get planviz file?
Any suggestions?

Prince

it have to save for the first time then i can fetch it , but i want it before save for the first time.

ABAP CDS extractor on NSDM_E_MCHBH (replacement of MCHBH) in not getting delta in Datasphere

2024-08-29T14:32:39.894000+02:00

Hello Experts,

We have created a ABAP CDS delta extractor on NSDM_E_MCHBH (replacement of MCHBH) using CDC. SAP recommends to use replacement if available. When the extractor is used in DataSphere Replication flow, the delta load is failing.

Error - CDS view is Inconsistent and Definition of the view is too complex for automatic CDC

Note - We are getting warning "Definition of view is too complex for automatic CDS" and "Data extraction of CDS entity not possible" in ABAP perspective. We ignored the warning as it was for other extractor's as well and they are fine.

Note , even extractor on MCHBH we faced the same issue.

Please let me know how we can get delta from table MCHBH using ABAP CDS view extractor.

Thanks,
