Business Partner in PC-UI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to implement additional field checks for the Business Partner in the PC-UI (for example, I need to validate that some fields are not empty and send a custom message). I already did it for the SAP GUI using the BDT (transaction BUS3), but this method is not working in the SAP Enterprise Portal. Is there any other method to include this validations in the SAP EP? Can anyone help?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,

David

Hi David,

Bad News :

Whatever validation you do using BDTs don't get reflected in the PC UI framwork automatically. This is primarily because both are different approaches of UI layer development and modification and run independent of each other. What affect both of them is the business logic underneath. So, you'll have to redo all these validations.

To build the validations, you'll have to maintain the blueprint tables appropriately and create a new model access class to implement the validations.

Good News : A possible solutions to make things easier might be to call the function modules that you use in the BDT from your access classes. Please take care to adopt the function module to handle both the PCUI and BDT checks.

<u>But</u> why do you want to implement both the BDT approach and the PCUI approach? Please check your business process properly before going ahead. I can't think of a scenario when the user creates for example Business Partners using the SAPGUI as well as the Portal. The end user training costs should not (ideally) permit this. Unless ofcourse you have a really rich client

Hope the this helps.

Thanks, Debasish.

Thanks very much for your answer. We are implementing validations in SAP GUI And the PC-UI because we need the SAP GUI validations for the legacy migration. We've build custom programs to carry them out and we must validate the converted data as well.

Thanks again
