BEx: Drop Down box shows compound values

[Former Member]

Hello !

I am trying to use the drop down box feature in order to filter cost centers (0costcenter). The infoobject 0costcenter has two compunding infoobjects: 0soursystem and 0co_area. When I display key and text in the drop down box, it shows "sourcesystem/co area/cost center[text]" instead of just "cost center[text]". However in the related query/ data provider, the cost centers are displayed without compounding infoobjects.

Is anyone familiar with this problem and has a solution to this ?

Thanks in advance,

Max

Hi,

Yes it is right..

you can avoid the diaply of compunding by putting same in row those componding fields say controlling area, logsys and right click and then hide the display..

but it will be always seen in the variable display..

so to avoid this you can also write BADI and see if you can just filter those required data or youcan use text..

Thanks and regards

Thanks,

Hi Kiran,

sorry, but I don't get it. What does this have to do with F4 restriction ?

Thanks !

Hi Max,

F4 is nothing but selecting the values in the variable in the variable screen..

so where u can see the charateristics values compunded with compunding field values..

Thanks and regards

If an infoobject is compounded, the compounding characteristics are always shown.

In your query you probably have logsys & co area in the drilldown, or have defined a fixed filter on those 2 characteristics.

Have you defined your dropdown on the same data provider as the query?

Hi,

thank you for your answer !

Logsys and co area are included in the fixed filter of the query. The dropdown is defined on the same data provider as the query.

thanks,

just checked, and indeed the compound fields are always displayed.  Don't have a solution for that in my sleeve.  Maybe display the texts instead of key?

Well, my client wants cost center key and text, but without compounding characteristics 🙂

Anyway, thanks for your help

If you're note afraid of some modelling, you could create ZCOSTCENTER which is not compounded and put a dropdown on that one?

Dunno, just thinking outside the box.
