Entry type in table- /SAPSRM/C_MDFSBC

[former_member183917]

Hi All,

SRM: 701

I am adding additional search fields in sourcing cockpit. Added fields in corresponding structure and in  spro , Extension and field control -> configure field control-> config. control for fields in substructure : Maintained corresponding data.

But additional fields are not visible in UI. On debugging, saw that SAP checks for Entry type = ‘A’ (hardcoded in std. code) in addition to all data in above path.

This check is done in class- /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_AO_META_SOCO, method- /SAPSRM/IF_PDO_STATIC_META~GET_FIELD_METADATA_4_ANY_ENTRY

Code checks in table- /SAPSRM/C_MDFSBC with Entry type = ‘A’, which is not available (field- EntryType),when I am maintaining in above spro path.

Please let me know, the significance of this Entry type and how can I maintain it and any one faced this kind of issue?

Thank you.

Regards

Vinoth

Hi,

could you check if you can get it working with maintaining the entry via SM30 in view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_ANY?

Thanks Robin for reply.

View- /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_ANY is opening same spro path (config. control for fields in substructure).

I am thinking to maintain entry type-'A' directly in table /SAPSRM/C_MDFSBC and transport the entries, if no other way.

Any other options?

Just for completion sake: did you maintain an entry there in SM30 and not only check where in customising this goes to?

Yes, this is the exact problem. I did maintained in SM30 but not able to see any difference in customising and there is no field (entry type) in customising.

Again Thanks.

That is true, because it matters in what view you maintain your entries - it automatically selects the D for default and the A for any based on the view maintenance you are in:

   CASE x_header-viewname+16.

    WHEN 'DEFAULT' OR '_DEFAULT'.
      <lv_entry_type> = 'D'.

    WHEN 'ANY' OR '_ANY'.
      <lv_entry_type> = 'A'.

  ENDCASE.
