Customer Attributes

Hi all,

I need some help with the requirement for the below IMG activity. Namely, I need the process for creating the attributes. Data Dictionaries are new to me.

thanks.

Definition of Customer Attributes for Object Types

Use

You can define a user attribute here. Then assign it to an object. The Transactions, Configuration and Development tabs show the object types . The attribute is project and solution-independent, and is shown in an object dialog box in the Other Attributes tab.

Requirements

The attributes of the attribute are specified in the table or structure fields in the Data Dictionary, so they must be maintained there.

For example:

Integer or Character

Field length

Value help

Activities

To create a user attribute:

1. Choose New Entries.

2. Enter a name and description of the attribute.

The name and description are shown later in the object dialog window, and you cannot change the name after you have saved, so use a meaningful name and description.

3. Save.

Specify attribute attributes:

4. Select an attribute and choose Attribute Attributes in the tree.

5. Specify a Data Dictionary table or structure field or choose from the value help.

6. Specify in the field Value Check:

whether the entry is to be checked against a value list. These values are offered as selection help.

whether it is a required field.

7. In the field Multiple Values, whether this attribute can take only one, or several values.

8. In the field Visibility whether the field is visible in the attribute dialog.

Hey Jason,

If you look well at my screenshot in my previous post you ll see that my search help exports only ZDESCR (that is the description of the customer attribute).

So In your table definition (SE11) make sure you assigned search help to correspondant field in tab 'Entry help/check' as shown in joined screen shots

Hope this helps

Hi Khalil,

I started from scratch. The only new thing was adding the search help to the data table. Still no luck.

My screen looks just like yours; it is only exporting the description as well.

I know it's something simple like a checkbox or something. Are you sure the table creation process on that link is correct?

regards,

Jason
