ABAP – APO Material master version dependent extra fields

Posted on by

SAPAPO system offers only 5 product specific and another 5 product-location specific, version dependent fields called AT101 – AT105 and ATT01 – ATT05. But what if you need MORE than these 10 extra fields to be version dependent? You can generate more extra fields using the EEWB (Easy Enhancement Workbench) but this tool generates the extra fields as version independent (all planning versions will share the same values).
In this article I’ll show how to make these extra fields made by EEWB version dependent. Continue reading →

SAPAll development or customizing in SAP is written into a transport request unless it is a local object not intended to be transported ($TMP package). Sometimes it might be useful to backup your development but in SAP this task is quite complicated to export all programs, classes, standard texts, …

Therefore there is an option to export the whole development encapsulated on a transport request level. And that’s what this article is about – exporting development encapsulated in a transport request to local file system. Continue reading →

SAPI faced a scenario where I had an ALV grid where all columns were made generic of type (let’s make it simple) CHAR255. Each column has its name in field catalog in format TABNAME-FIELDNAME (+ more human readable column header texts of course). What I needed to achieve was to make validation of data that user entered in the ALV cells. Since the cell validation is not available by default (because of type CHAR255) I had to make it dynamically.
In this article I’d like to share my solution Continue reading →
