ME51N - Field history not working in ALV

Hi experts,

I was asked for the field history in ME51N. It's not working. Have done some tests here, the same at my desk. I found SAP 825068 saying field history is not working in GRID.

But that's strange as in ME21N the same is ok?

Does anyone know more about it?


Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

item overview in ME2xN is not implemented as ALV GRID, but as Table Control instead -- that is why you in ME2xN you have the icon "configuration" (upper right corner), instead of "layout management"; also, that is the reason why you can add customer field in item overview screen in ME5xN just with UE/BAdIs, but to do the same you have to make a system modification/reparation.

Kind Regards

Ah, that's it! I was sure both are ALV, but after your reply I saw table control vs. ALV...damn.

But ok, that's it.

If someone knows an option to get field history in ME51N (ALV), pls let me know 🙂

I am affraid that the only thing you can do, Michael, is to switch ME5xN from ALV to Table Control (button "Personal Settings" -> view "Basic Settings", checkbox "Item overview as grid control").

I've been trying to get this fixed forever. I have users still using ME51 because of the missing history. Thanks a lot for this!

I'm glad that you found it usefull... honestly, I never thought that anybody would prefer Table Control over ALV Grid; TIL I should not project my personal preferences to other people, thanks 🙂

Hi Walter,

on related note, if you are (by any chance) on EhP5, you can activate new Business Function for Templates in Purchasing Documents (POs&PReqs) -- there is a nice blog by Devi S explaining it.

Kind Regards
