Use

In this IMG activity you have the following options for designing the initial screen, overview screen and detail screen in the Postprocessing Desktop:

  • Overview and detail screen: Convert the internal object key for an object type to an external key
  • Initial screen: Enhance or change the search help for the object type and object key
  • Overview screen: Branch to the display of objects for object types

Requirements

  • In the Customizing for the Postprocessing Office (CA-GTF-TS-PPO)under Object Types, you have carried out the following IMG activities:
  • You have programmed your own function modules accordingly in the customer namespace (the name of the function module starts with a Y or Z). When doing so, note the following:
    • The interface of the function module for key conversion must be defined as follows:
    • FUNCTION ZZZ_PPO_API_GET_DESCR.
      *"----------------------------------------------------------------------
      *"*"Local interface:
      *" TABLES
      *" T_KEY_INT_EXT STRUCTURE /SAPPO/STR_KEY_INT_EXT
      *"----------------------------------------------------------------------
      You call this function module from the proxy module. The function module must support mass processing and must be optimized because numerous conversions are required simultaneously for displaying a list of orders.
    • The interface of the function module for the search help must be defined as follows:
    • FUNCTION ZZZ_PPO_API_GET_OBJKEY.
      *"----------------------------------------------------------------------
      *"*"Local interface:
      *" EXPORTING
      *" REFERENCE (E_OBJKEY) TYPE SWO_TYPEID
      *" EXCEPTIONS
      *" INTERNAL_ERROR
      *"----------------------------------------------------------------------

Standard settings

To display the properties of the object types supplied by SAP with the standard system, use IMG activity Display System Settings of the Postprocessing Office.

Activities

  1. Choose an object type. The system displays both the object types supplied by SAP and those defined by yourself for you to choose from.
  2. If you choose an object type defined by yourself, proceed as follows:
    1. To convert the corresponding object key on the overview screen and detail screen into a user-friendly external key, specify your own relevant function module. The system displays the object key on the overview screen and as title on the tab pages in the object area.
    2. To enhance the search help for the object type on the initial screen with the object type defined by yourself, specify your own relevant function module.
    3. To branch directly to the display of objects on the overview screen of the object type defined by yourself, specify the corresponding display method.

      If you choose an object type supplied by SAP, proceed as follows:

    4. Note that the conversion of the internal key (such as the internal contract ID for object type 'account') to a user-friendly external key (such as the account identification consisting of bank country, bank key and account number for object type 'account') is already implemented in the standard system. To convert the internal object key on the overview screen and detail screen to another external key, specify your own relevant function module.
    5. To change the search help for the object type and object key on the initial screen, specify your own relevant function module.
    6. To override the standard display method on the overview screen intended by SAP for this object type, specify the display method you require.
