Report Generation using BRFplus and MSMP Workflow

[Former Member]

Hello everyone!

I am a very new user to BRFplus and I am stucked in this simple query.

What I want to do is,

1. Using BRFplus: Import data from UST04 table to a BRFplus defined table.

2. Using MSMP Workflow, integration of the above BRFplus process with Access Control and a report is generated in the end which has the above           extracted data.

Now, what I have done till now is,created a table in a new application in BRFplus, I have binded it with UST04. I have added the DBlookup expression and I have mapped UST04 it to my created table correctly. Next, I created a very simple rule which is shown below

Now when I am simulating the Report function, it is not showing any results. Can anyone please help me here? I will try the next step after I am done here. I am not experienced in BRFplus so any detailed step will be of great help to me.

Thank you,
Abhishek

Can you show how you defined your DB Lookup expression?

Is FREIGABEGRUPPEN in the function context or the function result?

Hi Carsten,

Thank you for your reply. I read your book on BRFplus and it helped me a lot to understand BRFplus, specially the Chapter 3 with the pricing example. I am an intern, so I don't get any type of SAP training and in my case your book is really helpful.

I have solved my initial problem and everything is working fine as I wanted. Now for advanced stage, I would like to ask you if it is possible to change data in table using BRFplus? What I am trying to do is to add additional data in UST04 table, if possible, using BRFplus. My ultimate goal is to combine a BRFplus rule of adding users in UST04 table, and combining this rule with access control.

Ryan,

You will not be able to directly commit data from BRF+ (This is my understanding)

However, you can do an ABAP call, and perform commit in ABAP layer after sending the new data you want put in the table, to ABAP layer using parameters.

As Gopal wrote: Usually you do not do updates from rules but have the rules return you a result that you use in your ABAP to do updates. I have only seen few cases where inside of rules updates have been done. In this case the update has been done in a method which was called thru a call procedure expression. The call procedure expression was used to define which method shall be called and what data shall be passed to it.
