Customer Attributes

[Former Member]

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.

Hi Jason,

The link that explains how to create your table in SE11 should be fine

- Can u please confirm that you have entries in your table in transaction SE16 ?

- In transaction SM30 can u access to the modification view oof your ZTABLE ? If that s the case; please add entries to table

Those are prerequisite so that your search help gives you a list of entries (the ones you maintain in SM30)

If those lines above still don't solve your problem; maybe you can take screenshots of your z table - z data element - z serch help so i can take a look. You can use www.4shared.com for free to upload docs !

Good luck !
