SRM new UI add on, cannot add a new field, property is invalid error

[Former Member]

Hi SRM gurus and comunity,

We are on SRM 70 classic scenario with new ui add on.  We would like to add a field in the sc item level to captur additional info.  We followed the extensibility cook book.  It works when for the old (standard ) SRM ui.  But for the new ui add on we get error message error ‘Property ZZLVA is invalid’..  Its like it does not recognize our new zzlva field.  there might be a step missing in there for the new ui.  Your tips and comments are welcome. 

regards,

DJ

Hello Daniel,

Looks like you have missed adding the new field in the model. The new UI addon uses OData protocol for data transfer and hence it is necessary to define the model with all the fields which you need in UI.

Since this is a new field, this has to be added to the model corresponding to the view where this field should be shown. The information regarding would be available in the Cookbook.

Daniel, did the methods in this wiki work for New UI fields as well? Would this work for hiding standard fields in the new UI?

Hi Daniel,

We are getting 'Property Zz*** is invalid’ error  like you. For a new field on can't find screen.

How did you fix that error ?

Hi Samet,

Along with enhancing the structures provided you need to implement the BADIs to enhance the oData model. implement the below badis...

1. /SRMNXP/BD_ENHANCE_MODEL - set the propery of the Fields here...

2. /SRMNXP/BD_CHANGE_DATA  - use if you want to validate/default some data in the new fields..

Best Regards

Hi Daniel, Along with adding it to the VIEW in the SPRO, you also need to set the meta data properties of these custom fields. this has to be done using BADI "/SRMNXP/BD_CHANGE_DATA BADI" where the field properties Visible and Enables should be set to true.

Please try the same and let me know if it is not working for you.

Regards

Manoj..
