Sap Sale Module: RE:[sap-log-sd] Customer master texts field as Mandatory

TypeWriter,

The choice of field would be arbitrary but ergonomically correct depending on the screen where the text edit happens .

I tested this case using a bdc recording . And the recording becomes silent on issue of
text edit. When I put the program in de-bugger I get an instance of a class CL_GUI_textedit
but what id of this text object is being passed to this class is not clear .

I dont have login to oss either. But I have the problem in sight , so definitively the solution would be there ....

I agree that Document management is robust in SAP and plethora of augmenting services / Tools viz Document Management Server , Content Server and Business Document Services are their to support the Text and other documents ...yet its mechanism is not widely known.

regards
alok

ps : I might articulate the problem technically later on someone can put it on oss and get the response ....it has to do with instance creation of cl_gui_textedit . Debugger will definitely narrate the story in some more detail ....I am off for a nap.

Subject: Customer master texts field as Mandatory

Hi alok,

There are multiple reasons that make using of Texts optimal (in these type of cases) -
1. With filling in texts in Text ID, these texts can be conveniently referenced & or copied in to many documents (both at header and item level).
2. Moreover, with Text Determination, there are many options + flexibility; e.g. multiple text ids for Central text, Sales & Distribution etc. At any time "mixing & matching" is possible - Delivery note header can "pickup" some text from Sales order, CMR, MMR etc.
3. For every Text ID, you have one page (i.e. lot of space) to fill in all your text content.

Do you think, if user fills in texts in some field in CMR or MMR, could deliver the above mentioned advantages/functionalities, within standard functionality?

By the way - In sales order, delivery, bills; user can setup the system (Text Determination) in such a way that certain Text IDs are mandatory. (This is inturn linked to Incompletion log.)
But this functionality is not given for Text IDs for CMR, Cust Material Info records.

Please explain how (and which) fields could be changed and used for validation. It would help my learning.

PS - I could not post the navigation & object details in ABAP forum. When I try to see the thread online, it takes me to SD Forum (instead of taking me to ABAP forum). Could you upload the relevant in ABAP Forum?

Regards,
