hi all,

I have some field like 'User ID' when I return with a value from F4 help it is displaying the 'User ID' in the field and the 'User Name' on the right side of field.

This is happening for some of the fields but for field 'Business Partner' it is not showing the 'Business partner Name' on the right side of field. Can you please let me know how to fix that. Is there something at the Data element or domain level that affects this. Thanks.

Regards,

FS

Text table may be the reason.

For field 'User ID' there may exist a text table for its check table.

But for field 'Business Partner' there may be no text table.

1. In SE11, for that particular field, first find the orgin of input help.

If it has check table, then find Text table for that check table.

For any table we can find text table by navigating SE11 -> Goto -> Text table. This text table may be the reason.

2. If orgin of input help is Explicit (Search help), then the reason is due to the Export flag being set for the field in search help.

3. Sometimes Input help with fixed values have Description at domain level. This may be the reason.

Also check below link on Text table

when I declare a field as type BU_PARTNER and press f4, I get SAP's multi-help collective help, which includes ways to see several columns of information about a BP.
