Hierarchy node variable - How to exclude node's attributes info? (F4 help)

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a hierarchy which has a root node of type 0HIER_NODE but the rest of the hierarchy nodes are built using a characteristic info object, for example 0CUSTOMER, 0COSTCENTER, etc.

Having created a selection variable of type "Hierarchy Node" for the hierarchy ( fixed hierarchy, variable hierarchy node ), noticed that the attributes info for each of the info object included in the hierarchy, are being displayed in the selection variable's values input help ( value drop down list - F4 ) for each hierarchy nodes.

e.g. : ROOT ABC

> CUSTOMER XXX : source system : YYY, business area : 1234, SAP company code : 2341, ...

> CUSTOMER ZZZ : source system : YYY, business area : 1234, SAP company code : 2341, ...

Question : Is there a setting somewhere which we could use to turn off the 'attributes info' display in the selection variable's value input help, such that the hierarchy would only be displayed as listed below ?

ROOT ABC

> CUSTOMER XXX

> CUSTOMER ZZZ

Appreciate any info you might have on this.

Thank you so much for your help !

Femmie,

The display of attributes is generally controlled using tcode RSD1. Enter the characteristic of interest, then choose 'Maintain'. On the Attributes tab, if you do not want to display an attribute on the F4 help screen, set 'Order for F4 Help' to 0. After making any changes, activate the InfoObject.

If this does not give you enough control, there is another way to suppress the display of attributes which is outlined in SAP Note 1144979.

Hope this helps...
