cv04n - add column to alv with search result but with characteristics assigned to class for document

[Former Member]

Hello, Collegues!

My question is about cv04n and search rusult in alv.

Is it possible to add characteristics* in alv (and structure**) for those doc type that being inserted on the first screen?

Or, maybe, make additional alv report for this task?

But, as for me, it is a bit strange to have cv04n and no opportunity to add characteristics:(

Can anybody resolve my question and give right way?

*Сharacteristics are assigned to class. Class assigned to doc type.

Thank you, but not enough. It is all about draw fields. So that you offer abaping, is it right?

Yes Ivan. This solution has a bit of abap programming.

Hey Ivan,

In standard the charcteristics are coming but to CV04N and selection screen without need of development..

The characteristics of a class that is linked to a document type can be seen directly in CV04N..You do not need any extra effort for that...

Hi,

yes, thats right. Its a standard behavior. Any attribute assigned to that particular class are immediately visible in CV04N both on the selection screen and the resulting alv list.

If you dont see them you should debug include LCV100F05, FORM cl_add_characters_to_fieldcat, there is a function call that fills the characters table which is then appended to the fieldcat.

Hi Ivan,

As Omur said, the functionality to display Document characteristics as columns in the results list of CV04N is part of standard SAP.

This should work as long as the Class and the Class Type ('017') is assigned to the Document Type in the DMS Document Type configuration (DC10).  See FAQ #1 in the SAP Note link below.

https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1425861

Of course, the Class should have the Characteristics assigned to it, and the Class and Characteristics are defined for the Documents (entered in the Document's 'Classification' screen).

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ron
