S/4 HANA got rid of the MD04 "SAP Statistics Graphic"

[ann_hustis]

Hi everyone.

In ECC I was a big user of the green line graph in MD04. You access it by following the menu path List \ Graphic. This gives you an "SAP Statistics Graphic" of your projected inventory going forward and includes Planned Independent Requirements, Sales Order Requirements, Receipts, etc.

But in S/4HANA it is no longer available in MD04. Is this graph available in another transaction?

Thank you and happy holidays!

Hello annehustis

That's is another S/4HANA "innovation". It's been introduced with note 2348456 - WEBGUI mode for PK09, PK18, PK17, COR7 - try to stay serious and calm while reading it:

Other Terms

S4 Visual Harmonization

Reason and Prerequisites

Graphical display is no longer available in S4.

What they did is that they simply disable the graphic display in MD04 with a single line of code (include MM61RF50_FCTAB_FILL_TC, form routine FCTAB_FILL_TC):

FORM fctab_fill_tc.

  DATA: l_objky TYPE objky.
  DATA: lv_msgno LIKE sy-msgno.

  REFRESH fctab.

  PERFORM fctab_append USING 'GRAF'.  "no graphic anymore

Notice the comment in the code - "no graphic anymore" - just like that...

The good news is that the code to display the graphic is still there and it's operational. So the graphic can be easily reactivated:

• Comment out the line from include MM61RF50_FCTAB_FILL_TC, form routine FCTAB_FILL_TC.
• Add GRAF code to the menu bar of ANZ_47 GUI status.

I've open an improvement proposal with SAP Customer Influence program to get the graphic back to MD04 - Demand/supply graphical overview in MD04 stock/requirements list

Vote and spread the word!!!

Best regards
