ESS Leave Custom fields, how to update them using BADIs

[Former Member]

Hi There,

We are trying to use custom fields provided in ESS leave application, and we want to update them using BADI. As these information is not available on the screen while requesting leave request.

I did look at PT_ABS_REQ BADI and seems i can use Post_Vio_BLOP .. but its unable to update table PTREQ_ATTABSDATA .

Can you please suggest what can be best approach here.

Thanks a lot.

This would require you to create new structure of the fields to be added to the leave request tables starting from PTREQ*

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for your reply... As you suggested these fields and BADI method can let me define characteristics of custom field, but i am looking for placeholder where i can change values of these fields. Unfortunately these fields are not available as input to users, hence they have to manipulated while updates.

Did you look at using the Implict Enhancement Options available at the beginning & end of the POST_VIA_BLOP Method? Or even better, enhance the Class CL_PT_ARQ_REQ_EXIT & replace the IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~POST_VIA_BLOP Method with an Overwrite Exit?

Finally had to club quota values in *REQ BADI and it worked.. though not very satisfactory though workable.
