Hello Chinmaya,

I don't understand why do you have such a requirement. Normally, short text (for material or other entities) is something that is automatically fetched by the system and displayed. Why would you want to make it editable? Plus, let's say it is made editable. Then, what if the short text has no connection whatsoever with the material?

If you still want to go ahead and would like to find an exit, you can set a breakpoint in method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER and then execute your transaction. The method will be called whenever there is an exit called during the transaction and it will return the name of the exit.

Regards,

Hi Chinmaya,

I just checked the BAdI interface. In the method PROCESS_ITEM, I see the input to the method is an object of type IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_ITEM_MM. This interface has methods like GET_DATA and SET_DATA. You can check if using these you are able to set the short text at the item level.

I had another look at BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. It has a method called IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~FIELDSELECTION_ITEM. It has a changing parameter CH_FIELDSELECTION which apparently will contain metadata for the various fields. In this table, there is a field called FIELDSTATUS. I think you can try changing the value of this field. An asterisk '*' means display. You can check the correct value for editable (maybe '+'). Have a look at the method implementation in the example class CL_EXM_IM_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and it should give you a good idea about what code to write.

Do let me know if it still does not work.

Hey,

You are working with purchase requisitions. BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST is meant for purchase order. I think that's why it's not triggering in your case. There is a very similar BAdI for purchase requisition. It's called ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST. It has the same method I mentioned above - FIELDSELECTION_ITEM. I just put a breakpoint in FM MEREQBADI_FS_ITEM from which this BAdI is called and the control did stop. Try with this BAdI.

Also, for some reason, in my system, the SHORT_TEXT field remains editable even after I enter the material.

can you help me coding also??

Re: finding exit with ME51N tcode?

kakshat — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 04:42:35 GMT

You can refer the following code and do something similar...

   FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> LIKE LINE OF ch_fieldselection.

     READ TABLE ch_fieldselection ASSIGNING <fs> WITH TABLE KEY metafield = mmmfd_cust_01.
     IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
       <fs>-fieldstatus = '*'. " Display
     ENDIF.

Basically, look for the short text field in CH_FIELDSELECTION and set the value of FIELDSTATUS to editable for it. * is for display, you will need to find out the value for editable. Maybe it's + as I mentioned earlier.

i got it but when i put the break point in fm its trggered but if i put brek point inside badi its nt triggered.should i add any im enhancement to the fm or i can directly add the code in badi?

Where exactly are you setting a breakpoint in the BAdI? First, you need to create a BAdI implementation which would lead to the creation of an implementation class. Once you activate the BAdI implementation, you can put a breakpoint in the class.

By the way, have you checked with any functional colleagues why the short text field is not editable in your system? As I had written before, in my system, it remains editable. You should make sure that it's not a configuration issue.

for testing purpose i had gone to se19 den to classic badi.i had put me_process_req_cust.and under that i had dn an implementation zmm15. and then i had gone to method filedselection_item.and by clicking that inside the class zcl_im_mm15 i put the break point or else code.but its not triggered.

i asked the functional guy that smart fellow in spro he made short text field non editable for all the material.but nw he wants for a particular material like 500000 the short text field should be editable.
