Limiting values of standard search help for glaccount

[Former Member]

Hello,

we have SRM running on an ECC backend. The shopping cart is the default one and so is the search help for the gl-accounts. What i need todo is now to limit the gl-accounts displayed in this default search-help to some values.

The way of limiting is no problem but i dont know ho i can limit the values at all. In R/3 the way todo this is using the search-help-exits. But i dont know how todo this in SRM.

I neither dont know how nor the datafield and structure that glaccount-field in the shopping cart belongs to.

Could someone please help me out ? Any help is highly appreciated and will surely get rewarded.

thanks alot,

oliver

Hi Oliver,

you can use the BADIs BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY and BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT to limit the values of the search help.

hey armin,

thanks for the reply. Can you give an example on how to use the badi or does SAP give some for them ?

thanks again,

ok...i checked BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT. It all looks very good but i wasnt able to find a method for the accounting-value SAKTO (datatype SAKNR). [German called "Sachkonto"]

But thats the one i need to limit. Any idea where i may find that or how i can use a limitation for that one ?

thanks alot and best regards,

Hi. G/L account is normally determined from product category and account assignment category and I think that is why it is not avilable in this BADI.

You can influence the G/L that is determined using BADI BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT if that is any help?

Hmm ok...i tried BBP_DETERMINE_ACCOUNT but im unsure about the way of using it.

Does the parameter ACCT_DATA for the method Determine_Account contain all the lines that are shown within the search-help for GL-Account ? So i need to delete/append rows to manipulate the search-help entries ?

Now the thing is that i would need to have the material-number (MATNR) that is the corresponding product in the R/3 Backend. Can you tell me how i can retrieve this number from the product-ID ?

Or is there another way to fetch this data like material-number, account-plan (KTOPL) etc from the product-id given in the parameters of that badi ?!

thansk again,

oliver
