Appending New item to drop down .. drop down data comes from R3

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have deployed ESS 1.0 BP. In leave request application we select the leave request type(PL, CL, SL) from drop down menu.

Here privelige Leave is by default selected... but we need to remove PL from default and add hipen(-) so that user has to compulsory select the leave type from drop Down,

Now the problem is as this list comes from R3 .. so how can we add new item to this drop down menu. Whether its needed to be done R3 side or do i need to modify Leave request Application. If i need to modify this leave request application than h0w can append hipen to the already list coming in drop down menu...

Can any person specify in detail from where this configuration is needed to be done..?

Hi,

Leave types can be configured in SPRO transaction.

Hi,

For example the leave types are coming in the below model node from R/3.

LeavesModelNode - Model Node

LeaveType - Model Context Attribute

And the data in this model node is

- Privlige Leave

- Casual Leave

- Sick Leave

Now create one Value node with the same structure as below in the Component Controller.

LeavesValueNode - Value Node

LeaveType - Context Attribute

Populate your extra value here

IPublicTestComp.ILeavesValueNodeElement element=wdContext.createLeavesValueNodeElement();
element.setLeaveType(" - ");
wdContext.LeavesValueNode ().addElement(element);

Now Populate the values from model node to value node as below

for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeLeavesModelNode.size();i++)
{

IPublicTestComp.ILeavesValueNodeElement element=wdContext.createLeavesValueNodeElement();
element.setLeaveType(wdContext.nodeLeavesModelNode().nodeLeavesModelNodeElementAt(i).getLeaveType());
wdContext.LeavesValueNode ().addElement(element);
}

Now map this LeavesValueNode to your View Controller and bind to your dropdown list also.

Since list is coming from R/3 , so you need to make changes in R/3 .

Hi,

Place following code instead of just : wdContext.currentAwartCustomzing.setSbtxt("-")

wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().inValidate();

AwartCustomizingElement el=wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().createAwartCustominingElement();

wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().addElement(el);

el.setSbtxt("-");

el=wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().createAwartCustominingElement();

wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().addElement(el);

el.setSbtxt("PL");

el=wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().createAwartCustominingElement();

wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().addElement(el);

el.setSbtxt("CL");

el=wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().createAwartCustominingElement();

wdcontext.nodeAwartCustomizing().addElement(el);

el.setSbtxt("SL");
