Reg:- Customize Item Overview iView in Portfolio Management

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using the following business packages in portal for SAP xRPM:

1. BP_PPM_DC 450.700 SP0

2. CPRXRPM_UI 450.700 SP8

We have the following requirements in Item Overview (based on WD for JAVA application - ItemDetailsApp) iView in xRPM:

1. Addition of 2 new fields

2. Provide Extended Value Selector (EVS) feature to the fields - "Sponsor", "Project Manager" and "Benefits Owner" in Item Overview

In order to realize this requirement, please let me know which of the above business packages I need to import into NWDS for making the changes to the WD for JAVA application.

I had read in one of the forum responses and customization can be done via SPRO configurations. Please let me know if it is possible to implement EVS and dropdown features through SPRO or should I go for customizing the WD for JAVA application?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sumit,

Thank you for your reply. Please let me know how to add EVS (value help pop-up) through SPRO settings.

Hi Pavithra,

In order to add search help in a field you need to do following:

Go to your PPM backend systems and go to transaction SPRO.

Go to SAP xAPP Resource and Portfolio Management option

Go to Global Customising

Go to Global Field Settings

Go to Define Custom Field Configuration

In the popup enter Object type as RIH

Select the field and in the Search Help Type column add the name of your search help.

Sorry for the late reply!

I hope it helps.

Hi Sumit,

I am unable to find "Search Help Type" column in Field Configuration screen. Any other way to implement search help for a field in Item Overview screen?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Karthik,

You can get the solution through the following ways :

1. Create a Search Help through Se11 and goto the Table of Item Overvie and Assign the search help to that particular field.

2. Through SPRO Customization as above.

Hope it helps you.

Thanks

For your requirement of Adding two new fields to Item Overview. You need to follow these steps:

Create a Custom field here and then you will see it in Additional Information Tab

If you want to display it in some other tab follow these steps after the above ones.
