BEx Variable default value based on other variable input

[Former Member]

This is the workflow I am trying to accomplish:

There 2 variables on a BEx report. Variable screen loads and user selects a single value for variable 1. At that point, .I would like variable 2 to show a default value based on the value selected in #1, and have the ability to overwrite that selection via normal variable selection screen.

Is this scenario possible?

Hi,

Any update on this requirement, I am having same requirement.

It just that, I have two input parameters coming from HANa calculation view into Bex. So when first entered by user, second should show only values related to first and not all the data from master table.

Hi Thomas,

it will not be possible exactly the way you want.

You have the different Steps for variable execution.

see some explanation here:

https://blogs.sap.com/2013/12/13/all-about-istep-variable/

filling defaults is done in step 1, user selection is done in step 2.

So after step 2 you do not come back to step 1.

What you could do is, if the user did not fill something into the second variable, fill it in step 3 with the value from the first variable.

Not even with this? https://blogs.sap.com/2014/04/16/how-to-implement-new-badi-rsroavariablesexitbadi-73-for-reporting-a...

Hi,

This is not possible using any of the typical way of implementation since BEx customer exit variables deal with concept i_step 1, 2, 3. and i_step 1 is used for populating the default values.

However, I understand the requirement and even I have such requirement. Did you manage to come up with any workaround?

thanks,

Hi Thomas,

I do not believe this can be achievable in BEx. Because in customer exit, in I_step=1, we have to code for default values and once this is done, in I_step =2, it will move to after processing of variable screen. it will not move back to variable screen once it is processing I_step=1.
