User Exit for VA21 - Opportunity Number Text

[Former Member]

Hi! I need to retrieve or do some checking on the Opportunity Number Header Text if this is filled or not when creating an invoice/quotation. I've already done this for the checking on VA23, I used FM read_text and it works. But for the checking on VA21, I can't retrieve the text. This is because FM read_text requires

1. ID - TDID

2. Language - SPRAS

3. Name - Doc Num

4. Object - TDOBJECT

and for VA21 since it technically still doesn't have a document number it can't read the text.

Is there any temporary table/structure where the text is saved, where I can retrieve the text?

Hi,

I think you are checking the header text in a program (Use exit/BAdi) before saving the document right? I have also faced the same scenario for tcode ME21N and ME22N. I resolved the issue in a BAdi .

Before saving the document the text is available for ls_name = space. i.e name = ls_name.

And the same text is available after saving the document for name = ls_name = Document number.

Try with this.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = l_wa_textid_hdr-tdid

language = sy-langu

name = ls_name

object = l_wa_textid_hdr-tdobject

TABLES

lines = it_lines

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Regards,

Raju.

Hi,

I tried what you suggested (using ls_name = space) but it still didn't work. It still can't retrieve the text.
