MDM Hierarchy Table Into Tree UI Control in ABAP WebDynpro & MDM ABAP APIs

[paras_arora3]

Experts,

I am a newbie to ABAP / MDM ABAP APIs. I am looking into the possibility of using Tree as as a UI control in a webdynpro abap application to represent hierarchy tables, perform hierarchy / taxonomy search, create and update records involving hierarchy fields, using MDM ABAP APIs.

I would like to seek inputs to check whether and how, is it possible to use MDM ABAP APIs to:

1. To perform taxonomy search on material table

2. To Create material records in the main table involving taxonomy fields.

3. To search on main table records using taxonomy attribute values as search parameters.

4. To use Tree UI control with in WebDynPro ABAP, to peform above operations.

We intend to use function modules - service calls from within WebDynPro ABAP applications, hence would like to know the feasibility, actual build effort and complexity of function modules.

Inputs and advice on same will be highly appreciated and duly rewarded.

Regards,

Paras

1. To perform taxonomy search on material table - if material table is of type Taxonomy then possible

2. To Create material records in the main table involving taxonomy fields - possible . you create records in main table and assign value of field to that of taxonomy table entry

3. To search on main table records using taxonomy attribute values as search parameters. - possiblr

4. To use Tree UI control with in WebDynPro ABAP, to peform above operations. - yes possible

dont mix between hierarchy table and taxonomy table

they are diff in MDM , but it is possible to build UI with WD tree element for each of these types.

all that you said are supported in ABAP APIs

thanks

Thanks Adrivit,

Could you elaborate on your response, in terms of MDM ABAP API classes / function group implementations to use for Taxonomy or Hierarchial structures implemented in MDM?...please

thanks
