Setting Default values in Material Master

Hi,

 

You have following options for setting defaults, evaluate these and implement whichever suits (or in combination):

Option 1: On create material (MM01) screen from Menu path click on à Defaults à Settings

 

à Industry Sector

 

à Organizational Levels

\Here you defaults values for following fields.

Company Code                         

Plant                                

Storage Location                      

Valuation Type                       

Sales Org.             

Distr. Channel    

Warehouse No.                        

Storage Type       

 

Option 2: On a particular field (which you want to default) you can find out the parameter ID associated by clicking F1 (Help) and F9 (Note: F9 works if help is in model dialog box otherwise see Technical Info when you have help in performance assistance).

You can maintain default value for each parameter id in Systems à User Profiles à Own data. Transaction SU3 will be launched.

Click on Parameters tab and maintain the Parameter ID and value. (Be sure to enter Parameter ID all in caps).

This is available for selected fields only.

 

Option3: Use HOLD data SET Data method from System à User Profile à Hold data/Set data when user is running MM01 transaction and wants to save local and temporary defaults. Note that this is a temporary provision and specific to that logon session. It is useful when user needs to populate repeated data while creating material master one after another manually.

 

Option4: Use SHD0 transaction to make a screen variant/ Standard variant / transaction variant. This is very powerful solution, and it can default all in one go.

You can create multiple versions for specific variants so that specific defaults can be stored respective to ROH/ HALB/FERT etc. and use authorization to restrict use of the variant by identified users. (See more info on online help for transaction and screen variants)

 

Should you need more info, Contact.

 

Thanks & regards,

Manish

Modify thru SE16

Debug SE16 to allow record changes
If you are not authorised to change table entries or the table has been create without table maintenance allowed (all SAP tables), you can still change entries via data browser (SE16) by means of debugging. The process is as follows:

 

1. Display record entries for desired table via SE16 or SE11. 2. Select record which requires updating by highlighting it and pressing the display icon (glasses, F7). 3. Type /h in command box and press enter. 4. Now press enter again and you should enter debugging mode 5. Change the value of code from ‘SHOW’ to ‘EDIT’, remember to press the ‘change field contents’     icon (pencil) in-order to store new value. 6. Press F8 (execute) to leave debug. 7. You should now have change access to the selected record. 8. Hit ‘SAVE’ to save any changes. 9. Remember there is a reason why you can’t do this without debugging it, one reason being that it could     introduce inconsistencies in the table data.

Alv variants copy

Try using LVC_VARIANT_SELECT and LVC_VARIANT_SAVE fms.

First call LVC_VARIANT_SELECT to read variant from the first program and then call LVC_VARIANT_SAVE to save it for the second program.

Take a look at report BCALV_GRID_11 for reference

 

Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
==========================================================

LTDX --> Generic storage of display variants
LTDXD --> Default display variants
LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants
LTDXT --> Display variant texts

==========================================================

The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

 

S_ALV_LAYO is the authorization which needs to be used.

Whose Time is right ?

WHOSE TIME IS RIGHT?

There was a man who works as a foreman at a factory.

Every morning on his way to work, he would pass a particular shop selling watches. He will stop in front of the shop and adjust the time on his wrist watch, and will then proceed to work. He will do this everyday.

The watch shop owner became very curious and one day stopped the man and asked him what he was doing. The man said that he was the foreman of the factory and everyday it was his duty to ring the bell to sound the alarm at 5.00pm to indicate that it was time to stop work for the day. He wanted to be accurate with the time and therefore everyday he would look at the big clock in the shop to adjust the time on his wrist watch. The shop owner started laughing! He said, “Everyday at 5.00pm when the factory bell sounds the alarm, I would quickly adjust the time on my clock”.

It is important for us to realize that to be successful we have to follow and copycat the right leaders. We should role model leaders with good characters, values and beliefs, otherwise we may find that we may reach the “top of our ladder”, but only to realize that we are on “top of the wrong ladder”.

Hope that you will find a role model who can assist and inspire you to greatness.

Have a great day ahead !!!

Install new fonts in SAP

Use transaction SE73

Locating Badi's

Go to transaction SE80 in a client where you can experiment with the transaction that you are interested in.Go to class CL_EXITHANDLER. [Select Class / Interface from the drop-down, and put CL_EXITHANDLER for the class.]

Go to method get_instance. [Press RETURN to ensure that the contents of the Object Name frame are for CL_EXITHANDLER. Expand the Methods node. Double-click on GET_INSTANCE.]Insert a breakpoint just after = the call to the method cl_exithandler get_class_name_by_interface. Use the transaction in which you are BAdI-hunting.

Examine the contents of the field exit_name whenever the processing stops at the breakpoint.

I have found a case where exit_name was an unknown field. Then class_name gave a good clue to the name of the BAdI.
