User field in Project def.

[nitish_govindwar]

Dear All,

I am working on one Yreport which gives STATE/ Location wise output, which we are maintaining in coding mask.

Two characters in coding mask denotes STATE and in same Plant/Site we can have multiple STATE.

Supposing " Minnesota" is a state then in Project def. two character will be "MN".

ABAP team is facing problem fetching this two character from Proj. Def.

Can we have any option like user field at WBS in Project definition level.

Else can you suggest any other option for this requirement.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Nitish,

The USEREXIT mentioned in the previuos post is better option but again the disadvantage there is it will be a Normal text field with no restriction to input.

Dear Nitish,

If you are creating all the states as locations, then this is a good option.But in future if the User want to include one more location, then it will be a customising setting.Consider this too while providing the solution.

Dear Ravi,

Rarely there is any need of new location requirement , so we can manage it in config. setting. As it is readily available field in PROJ and PRPS table, so I think its a better option.

You can use this enhancement CNEX0006 to add your own fields like State/location etc., in Project Definition. Talk to your ABAPer, he will help you on this.

Dear All,

As an alternate solution, I think location can be use for this requirement which is available in organizational data in project.

Kindly revert if there is any concern in using this solution.
