Can't set org unit as data type for field on custom business object

[former_member658766]

Hi,

I am trying to create a new business object that will store an organization unit and map it against a value in a custom data list I've created. This will be used for a look up against the Sales Unit field on a sales order under Organizational Assignment.

The issue I am having is I cannot find the data object relevant to the Sales Unit (Organization unit) for the field. I have tried Organizational Centre ID but that was empty and had no data to show I've tried a few others (included in separate screenshot), but I cannot find the data type I need for the field. I've been unable to find the data structure in the repository explorer either.

Can you provide guidance and let me know if creating a custom field referencing this data type is possible, and if so what the identifier for the code is?

Thanks,

Dino

Hello,

You need to use OrganisationalCentreID as the data type in your custom BO/XBO and then in the respective UI you need to associate either of the following public OVS:

/SAP_BYD_APPLICATION_UI/ovs/organisationalcentreid/salesunit.OVS.uicomponent

/SAP_BYD_APPLICATION_UI/publicovs/organisationalcentreid/SalesUnit.OVS.uicomponent

Then ideally uyou should be able to see the valuehelp code from the database.

That's exactly it! I hadn't set up the OVS, thank you!
