Customer Field Value

[Former Member]

Hi, Gurus!

I'm working with SRM and faced with the following problem:

1. I've created a new customer field for Business Partner via Easy Enchancement Workbench. This field was automatically added into standard BP table BUT000.

2. I've created a new customer field for Product via Settype and Settype Attributes.

Now my problem:

I need PROGRAMMATICALLY find the values of created customer fields.

My questions:

for Business Partner

1. Are there any signs, which show that current field is a customer one? In other words how can i understand, is the current field in BUT000 a customer or a standard one?

2. Are there standard FMs, which return a value of customer field?

for Product

1. Are there standard FMs, which return a value of customer field?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can read the values for customer fields for Business partner directly from table BUT000. If it is a table like customer field, it would have generated a custom table.

TO read custom set types you can use the standard function module COM_PRODUCT_GETDETAIL_API. Also for custom set types standard will generate function modules autmatically in the function group ZOM_<<SET_TYPE>>. These function modules can also be used.

Hi Yury,

Usually we follow the naming of the fields using the allowed "Z" or "Y". As a standard procedure we use "ZZ" as first two characters for all the customer fields. This ensures that those fields are protected against upgrade and also easily identifiable.
