GUI Screen triggered by external system

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to trigger a SAP GUI Screen to open from an external system?

I need a GUI Screen (showing a specifik Sales Order) to pop up when I press an icon on an external application.

The user will have SAP GUI installed and will be logged in. But the screen will have to be initiated from the outside.

(I cannot use Webdynpro since it doesn't support variant configuration.)

Please advise

Thanks!

Cant see any relation to abap, why didnt you ask in the gui forum?

I would try to solve via a shortcut, calling a transaction with a bound variant.

But at least, i dont know how abap shoul help here.

Thanks -

I post the question in the ABAP forum because there might be a possibility to make an RFC to a FM/BAPI and then perrform a "call screen" action in side the function module - displaying the sales order in SAP GUI. (or whatever!)

I ask the question because I don't know the answer

Could you please explain this shortcut, calling a transaction with a bound variant?

Thanks again

Just generate a shortcut with the appropriate button.

Don't think this is pissible, since it is not the same order that should be opened every time. The external system has the ordernumber, which could be used as a parameter in the call to the GUI, though

Hi,

If you need a function module to display sales document have a look at SD_SALESDOCUMENT_DISPLAY
