How to Change the default Search value for Field Role?

[Former Member]

HI,

I went through numerous threads on how to default the search value , but does not help for my issue. Hence im posting this new thread. Please provide your suggestions on how to achieve this.

For the Ship-to party field (in item detail ) on webui when i do a F4 help i get the pop up with various search criteria and for the field Role the default value is "Ship-to party". which is visible. we need to change this default value to Prospect which is available in drop down.

The attribute is STRUCT.ROLE and view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/SearchHelp . The method GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS from the context node class is called to fill the value help for this attribute, but i dont understand how the ship-to party is filled as default. There is no code in this method to default the value.

The generic GET_V_S_STRUCT method also does not default the Ship-to party on this field.

I want to understand how this Ship-to party is filled by default and how can i change this to prospect..

Many Thanks,

Shaik

Hi Shaik,

The ROLE attribute DDLB should have had Ship to Party as the first available option and there is no space option in the list.

That can be the reason it is defaulted.(Check in method GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS).

Manipulate the DDLB_OPTIONS to your functionality.

Hi,

The role ship to party is not the first option . it is 7th in the list and more over there is a blank line in the beginining.

Is there some other place where this is defaulted?

Not sure Shaik, you may have to debug...

Shaik,

There is an attribute PARAMETERS in the search page context node class. You can keep a break point in the HTML page of the search view and check. Defaulting on a search page can be done using this attribute . I checked in debugging.

<thtmlb:searchArea>
    <thtmlb:searchTagArea>
        <thtmlb:advancedSearch id               = "advs0"
                               fieldMetadata    = "<%= controller->GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) %>"
                               header           = "<%= ADVANCEDSEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) %>"
                               fieldNames       = "<%= controller->GET_POSSIBLE_FIELDS( ) %>"
                               values           = "//ADVANCEDSEARCH/PARAMETERS"

We had a same requirement of defaulting Sales org and division in search criteria for a specific value.

this can be doen by redefining "DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT" method in IMPL class for the respective view.

See the code:

METHOD do_prepare_output.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT
**  EXPORTING
**    iv_first_time = ABAP_FALSE
*    .
  DATA:
    lr_qs TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service.

* Get current query object
  lr_qs ?= me->typed_context->search->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
  IF iv_first_time = abap_true.

    lr_qs->clear_selection_param_values( ).
    lr_qs->delete_empty_selection_params( ).
*   if l_sales_orgs is initial.
    CALL METHOD lr_qs->insert_selection_param
      EXPORTING
        iv_index     = '1'
        iv_attr_name = 'SALES_ORG'
        iv_sign      = ' '
        iv_option    = 'EQ'
        iv_low       = 'O 50000514'.
*   endif.
*   if l_dist_chan is initial.
    CALL METHOD lr_qs->insert_selection_param
      EXPORTING
        iv_index     = '2'
        iv_attr_name = 'DISTR_CHAN'
        iv_sign      = ' '
        iv_option    = 'EQ'
        iv_low       = '01'.
* endif.

Hope this will help..

THanks & Regards,
