Log field manually entered at CV01/2N to be displayed at CV04N

[former_member1282879]

Dear All,

We have a requirement in DMS that while finding the Documents through CV04N we need the log field entry ( which is entered manually) also to be displayed,

this will help to easily look at the message written by the other person who responds to a particular status,

circumstances

say a document is sent as an inspection request status to a manager who is supposed to check the document and respond, he feels like giving a short message while responding the inspection request status,

say, do it fast, or little change required. so and so

but this message if could be seen in CV04n itself instead of going inside DIR and viewing the status log,

it helps in delivering the message more accurately and preciesly.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Satish,

In the standard system, you can only refer to the fields in the

primary table and text table of an object in classification and

in the object find function. The primary table is the object table

that you enter to define object types for classification when you

configure your system.

Best regards,

Hi Christoph Hopf,

Thanks a lot for your reply, but i tried studying the tables and get the required process done but i could not do it,

can you please eloborate the matter in detail so that the required process could be accomplished practically, if it is possible to accomplish the requirement in SAP.

i have explained the configuration steps i followed as per your suggestion, and the problem i faced, kindly let me know any further steps that needs to be taken.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Sathish,

from my point of view you will have to modifiy the relevant dynpro itself as it isn't working with only adding the field to a classification characteristic.

I've tried with fields from table DRAW and it works with these fields but not with

table DRAP.

I'm sorry but I do not know how you have to modify the dynpros and the necessary coding as I have no experience with this.

Best regards,

Hi Sathish,

If my understanding is correct, you need the status log field (DRAP-PROTF) to be displayed in document search transaction.

There are two options you can think of.

1. You can create Z-Report which may be easy compared to the second option. You can pull data from DRAW and DRAP and put it neatly in a smart form.

2. If you need the status log field only using cv04n, then this option may work out.

But it is difficult and involves a new development.

In Draw table, four fields are avl as reserve fields (For ex.DRAW-RES1,DRAW-RES2...). You can use user exit to copy the DRAP-PROTF entries to one of this field say DRAW-RES1.

You may use exit CV110001 and EXIT_SAPLCV110_002 to copy the same. In your CV04N layout, call the reserve field and save it. But it is cumbersome.

Hi Sathish,

a possible solution is maybe to create a new classification characteristic which gets the value from the status log and saves it.

This classification characteristic could then be dispalyed in the result list of transaction CV04N. The database table which is used for the status log is DRAP.

Here you will find all the necessary fields which are also displayed in the status log of CV02N or CV03N.

So you have to create a new characteristic in CT04 and then assign the database table and field to it by going to the "Addnl data" tab and enter table DRAP and then choose the field you want.

Best regards,

Hi Mr.Hopf,

Thanks a lot for your Solution, i think it should solve my problem.

I created a characteristic named Logfield1, where in i assigned the table name as DRAP and field name as PROTF

when I placed this characteristic inside the class it gave an message,

Characteristic LOGFIELD1 is not a reference characteristic in class type 017

Message no. CL061

Diagnosis

Characteristic LOGFIELD1 is a reference characteristic with a reference to a table field.

The table to which this reference characteristic refers does not belong to the object types of this class type.

This means that no value can be copied from the table field referred to in classification, search, and reporting functions, because the table is not known in the environment of class type 017.

Procedure

Create a characteristic that refers to the object table for which the class type is defined, and assign the characteristic to the class.

so proceeding ahead of this message

my new created characteristic is any how displayed inthe additional TAB of DIR,

but does not pick-up the values or message i give at logfield for status.

Please suggest how should i get the status log messages i enter automatically copied to the characteristic at additional tab.

Thanks and Regards
