Defaulting a value

[Former Member]

Dear SAP experts

Could you please confirm that the only way to default a value in the new UI is via ABAP coding? And if it is not possible to default a value in the new UI via configuration (without ABAP knowledge)?

It's hard to believe that it is no more possible whereas we could do it previously within PCUI. But I've read some threads in this forum and couldn't see other ways to achieve this simple requirement.

Thanks for your feedback,

Stephanie

I do confirm that you need to do that via coding.

Hi,

No matter what at the end of the day, defaulting a value is done by coding. However if SAP has provided configuration for that then you can achive this through configuration (although actually SAP code is setting it to default).

For example in Move-in/Move-out screen screen, the MI/MO date can be set to defualt as system date through configuration (SAP reads this config and sets the date on screen to system date). In other case, there may not be any configuration and in that case you need to code for the same.
