updating other line items when changing item value (ABAP Cloud, BTP, RAP)

[sebastian_wilhelm1]

Hi experts! 

when changing a line item value (e.g. item1-quantity) of a Business Object, I need to calculate another value for all line items (e.g.e Item1-price and Item2-price) and update all line items.

ID	Quantity	Price
Item1	2 PC	11,90 €
Item2	2 PC	8,80 €

the calculation works fine but the new value of item2-price won't be displayed.

I created a determination in the Item (Child) BDEF.

  determination calculatePrice on modify { field Quantity; }
  side effects
   { field Quantity affects field Price; }

and the Implementation looks like

...some calculation... 
MODIFY ENTITIES OF zr_test IN LOCAL MODE
      ENTITY Item
        UPDATE FIELDS ( Price )
        WITH VALUE #( FOR item IN items INDEX INTO i
                      ( %tky              = item-%tky
                        Price          = item-Price ) ).

It seems that the side effect only works for the changed item1 but doesn't effect the values of other entities.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks and regards, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

You can use the following side effect to refresh only a specific column for all items:

  side effects
  {
    field Quantity affects field _Header._Item.Price;
  }
