Field Exit

Hi Friends,

I have to change the Field Name displayed for two fields on TRIP transaction.

The data elements are ERDES & ERPLC.

I have changed it thru CMOD->Text enhancements->keywords->change.

Though the changes are showing in Data Dictionary but in the transaction still old description is coming for the field names.

Kindly guide.

Thanks,

Pradeep

check this,

When entering the customer master details, we have the provision for entering the telephone number with extension, fax and telebox. Assume that we also need to enter the mobile number of the customer for which there is no provision. Also assume that we do not use telebox for any of our customers and want to use that field for entering the mobile number. Though you can directly enter the mobile number in the field u201Cteleboxu201D , the description u2018teleboxu2019 always misguides us. See the screenshot below:

This tutorial focuses on changing the field descriptions for scenarios similar to above.

All the short-descriptions for the fields are retrieved from the data element level of the corresponding fields. So we need to change the descriptions at the data-element level.

So our first step is to know the data element used for the field u201CTeleboxu201D. Press F1 and then F9 to know the data element. See the screenshot below:

Make a note of the data element.

Now go to transaction CMOD

Click on Goto à Text enhancements à Keywords à Change

Enter the data element.

Click enter. The following screen would appear:

Now change the descriptions as per the requirement. See the screenshot below:

Click on save.

Now to verify the changes, go to SE11 and enter the table name ADDR1_DATA. Check the short description for the field EXTENSION2:

Also go to transaction XD01 / XD02 and check the field:

The description u201CTeleboxu201D is now changed to u201CMobile Nou201D.

thanks and regards,

siri

Screen fields don't have to use the data element label as the field label. The field label could instead have been set up as an independant screen element in which case it will have no link with a data element and no data element keyword change can affect it.

Have a look at the TRIP screens that hold the fields that you want to change to see if this is the case. If it is, I think the only option you have is to do a modification to the SAP standard screen - unless you are on the right release to use the Enhancement Framework, and even if you are I'm not sure that you can use enhancements to change a screen field label.

Oh, and if you can, change the title of this thread - the question you're asking is not about field exits but about a keyword change.
