Broadcast Setting with Cust. Exit Variables & Manually Entered Variables

43 Views

I have a sales report with the following parameters:

Week (defaulted via customer exit)

Sales Office (defaulted via customer exit)

Sales Group (defaulted via customer exit)

Customer Number (not defaulted)

Based on information that is automatically determined when a user executes this report the Week, Sales Office & Sales Group automatically populate. Customer is blank.

I would like to create a number (say 5) of broadcast settings to send user-specific data to members of a role. In the settings I would like the first 3 parameters to default automatically but I would like to enter specific values of 5 customers. For instance, users would receive data for their sales office & group for the prior week related to Customer 1, then in a separate email (from a separate setting) they will get their specific info for Customer 2, and so on.

My issue is I can either not create a variable assignment and then the query runs for ALL customers or I can create a variable assignment for a specific customer but then the values for the other 3 parameters are also saved and my Customer Exits do not work.

In R/3 or in BEX Analyzer I could create a variant and for the first 3 variables I would choose Save Field Without Values so that my Customer Exit would populate these fields. Then I would enter a specific value for the 3rd variable. I don't see a way to accomplish this same requirement with the Create Variable Assignment piece of the broadcaster. Am I missing something?
