Documentation
Definition
Specifies the external caller that can be specified in a function module to start a query and an output variant in the specification information system.
Use
You can use function modules that you have created yourself to call the specification information system outside the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) component. You can pass the following data to the function module:
- Data that restricts the search for specifications
You can, for example, pass material numbers that have to be assigned to the specification for which you are searching.
- An external caller
Using the external caller, the SAP system determines the query that is to be executed. This means the SAP system determines from all queries the one in whose header data the external caller was specified. When it does this, the SAP system always uses the first query it finds, that is an external caller must be assigned to only one query in the SAP EH&S component. In the header data for the query you can assign an output variant as required:
- If the SAP system finds exactly one specification when it executes the query, this specification is displayed using the output variant.
- If the SAP system finds more than one specification when it executes the query, these are displayed in the hit list and the output variant is activated.
Notes:
- If you want to make a selection using a query for data that is passed by the SAP system (such as material numbers), the first query step must be empty. The empty query step contains the selection of passed data.
You define all further query steps as you require them.
- If you do not want to refine or extend the query, no query step is required.
- Specify the assignment to the external caller and the output variant in the header data of the query, regardless of whether or not you define query steps.
