F4 for custom field on UI not working correctly

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 07:19 AM 165 Views

Hello All

I have just started with CRM web UI .

as to do practise I have added a custom field into standard view for sales lead, now I want to add F4 help for this field.

I searched over SDN for help and found following wiki, I followed required steps .

Link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/HowtoprovideF4Help]

By following above wiki F4 Icon is appearing on view and by clicking that I am getting values from DOMAIN also.

But problem is after selecting any value it is not coming to input field.

i.e. if I selected 100 form F4 help popup , this will not come into input field and field will be BLANK.

Please guide me.

Regards

Sachin

    Hi Sachin,

    The thread seems to be fine for creating F4 Help.

    Make sure that the context attribute to which ur mapping the F4 attribute is correct.

    Hi Sachin,

    You need to pass the output mapping table when creating the input help. This mapping will determine which fields of the source (i.e. field from where F4 help was triggered) should the F4 help key (and value) be mapped to. Here is a sample code:

    DATA:
ls_map TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,
lt_outmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.

ls_map-context_attr = u2018STRUCT.BP_DESCRIPTIONu2019. " Field from where F4 help was triggered and selection needs to come back
ls_map-f4_attr = u2018UNITu2019. " Field in the search help
APPEND ls_map TO lt_outmap.

* Pass this output map to value help descriptor during creation

      Thank You Shiromani Sharma. I took your advice and I made the modifications and it works for me...





      data: ls_map type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,

      lt_inmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,

      lt_outmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.

      ls_map-context_attr = 'EXT.ZZAFLD00008U'. " This is the Field create via AET

      ls_map-f4_attr = 'PERSON_ID' . " This the Field from the Search Help "ZZAFLD00008U_SEARCH_HELP".

      append ls_map to: lt_inmap, lt_outmap.

      create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr

      exporting

      iv_help_id = 'ZZAFLD00008U_SEARCH_HELP' " This is Search help created via SE11.

      iv_help_id_kind = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name

      iv_input_mapping = lt_inmap

      iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap.
