Metadata config in SRM : Configure Generic Field Display on User Interface_How to get 2 custom fields in 1 row

[former_member207661]

Hello experts,

I am adding two custom fields in SC item via Metadata configuration.

I am able to see new fields in SC item details tab.

My requirement is to show both of these new fields in a single line. Currently it is coming in 2 different lines.

There is option given by SAP via "Configure Generic Field Display on User Interface" where various options are available. I tried many combinations but it is not coming properly.

I am expecting it to achieve without modifying WebDynpro as I still assume that it is achievable by Metadata config.

Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks in advance,

Shyam

Hello all,

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

Since I didn't received any suggestion on how to achieve it using only Meta-data config, I did tried enhancing the Standard WebDynpro view and to my surprise, it is really very simple.

For a direct requirement, you don't even need to write a single line of code. Data automatically flows between database table <-> WebDynpro screen.

I am closing this thread now.

Warm Regards,

Shyam Agrawal

Hey Shyam

Could you please include more details here as I still did not understand exactly what should be done .

Hello Vinita,

You can find required steps at many links, still I am adding here:

say for example, we want to add 2 custom fields in Shopping Cart line item screen.

1) add two fields at below path:

SPRO -> SAP Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) -> Configure Customer Fields -> Define Customer Fields on Item Level

add in 2 structures from pop-up:

a. Append for Customer Cross-Document Item Database Fields(to have it added in table BBP_PDISC)

b. Append for Customer Fields on Confirmation Item(to add it for SC line item)

2) then add metadata for these 2 fields at below path:

SPRO -> SAP Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) -> Configure Field Control -> Configure Control for Fields on Item Level -> Metadata for Fields on Item Level

Structure field name : Same as added in structures added above

Object Type : BUS2121

Field Visible : Yes

Field Editable : Yes

Now metadata part is done.

Now time for WD enhancement: Open in SE80 as below(for Non-limit SC)

Web-Dynpro component: /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_I_BD

View: V_ V_DODC_SC_I_BD

Click on enhancement and give details for enhancement(starting with Z*)

Once saved, add these 2 fields in Context tab of View via appending from structure.

This will make custom fields available in Context structure for binding.

Now, in Layout tab, create 2 fields and bind those with new fields in Context.

That's it.

If you need any further help, let me know.

Warm Regards,

Shyam Agrawal

We have a similar requirement please could some one confirm on what was done to have the new fields come in a single line  ??

Hello Vinita,

So far everyone is suggesting to make enhancements in WD view. I also didn't received any positive feedback if we can do it by config only.

Please let us know in case you get the solution.

Warm Regards,

Shyam

Hi Shyam,

Same requirement we had also completed but for this just change the Web dynpro  because i think while configuration we can't maintained the sequence. But if you find any solution for setting the field as per the requirement let me know.

Hi Nishant,

We can maintain sequence.

In given screenshot, we have an option 'Call Sequence', using which sequence can be controlled.

[former_member184111]

Hi Shyam,

'Call Sequence' just specifies the position of field on UI but every new field always comes in a new line by default.

Thanks,

Hello Shyram,

it is not possible using metadata.

Try by enhancing INIT_FIELD_EXTENSIONS from /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_MAP_HELP_CORE class: it shoud be possible.

Hello Laurent,

Well in that case, what may be use of 'Configure Generic field display on UI'
