Value help (Business Partner) in Custom Business Object field

[fahad_saplearning]

I am using S4HANA Cloud public edition.

I have created a Custom Business Object where I want to associate standard value help for certain fields (for example, Business Partner, Material Group etc).

The only option i see there is: Associate Business Objects to the field in my Custom BO.

When I choose this option, there is very limited set of BOs from SAP. Here, I  don't see Business Partner or Material Group BOs in the list, which I am looking for. I don't see an option to associate published CDS view either.

I do understand that there is an option to create a Custom BO and associate it with my current Custom Business Object. As the data I look for resides in standard tables (BP, MatGroup tables in S4),  not sure about the possibility to create a Custom BO referring to standard Business Partner Or Material Group Value help data, to use in my current Custom BO.

Can someone throw some lights on this please

Hello, 

Only a few standard business objects like Company Code, Profit Center, Segment etc. are available as pre-defined value help options when creating a Custom Business Object.

However you can create Custom value help options: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0f69f8fb28ac4bf48d2b57b9637e81fa/93f6abd65d754b38b259ca6a... 

• You can create your own custom value help by creating a Custom Business Object and associating it with your current Custom BO.
• You can create a Custom CDS View with the "Value Help" option to provide value help for Custom BO fields.
• Steps to create a custom value help:
  • Create a Custom Business Object to hold the value help data.
  • Ensure the "Can Be Associated" option is checked for this Custom BO.
  • Create a Custom CDS View using the Custom CDS Views app, selecting the Value Help scenario.
  • Use the associated Custom BO view as the Primary Data Source in the Custom CDS View.
  • In your main Custom BO, create a field with type "Association to Business Object" and select your custom value help BO.

I don't think this method is working properly, is there any other way or something like a dropped setup?
