disabling buttons on Order status screen

[Former Member]

Hi everyone, we have a requirement to disable 2 buttons, or links on the order status screen. The buttons are called "Create Confirmation" and "Create Invoice". I know I can modify the HTML service template SAPLBBP_PDH_SEARCH_4001 for BBPSEARCH to get rid of them, but I would like to find a cleaner way without performing a MOD. I've tried making them invisible using SHD0 and copying the screen variant BBP_SEARCH_SC to ZBBP_SEARCH_SC and (making the pushbuttons Wareneingang and Rechnung invisible), then activating the new screen variant in BBP_SCREENVARIANT method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SEARCH. This doesn't appear to have any effect on the screen icons/buttons at all, but in debug mode I can see it's utilizing the new screen variant.

Does anyone have any other suggestions/examples of how this could be done, or should I go back to the reliable core MOD..?

Thanks,

Marty

Hi

Yes this is quite possible.. It must work with the BADI - BBP_SCREENVARIANT. We have done several times..

Incase you need any help, do let me know.

I've read all the posts, multiple times and I've followed the rules for BBP_SCREENVARIANT, still no luck. I've copied screenvariant BBP_SEARCH_SC to ZBBP_SEARCH_SC, within it I can see the 2 pushbuttons I want to make invisible they are in german and they are called (Wareneingang and Rechnung) or Create Invoice, Create confirmation. I check the box to make them invisible, test it and it works. Then I created an implementation with BBP_SCREENVARIANT, and in the method get_screenvariant_search, I added the code:

IF iv_progname EQ 'SAPLBBP_PDH_SEARCH'

AND iv_dynnr EQ '4100'

AND flt_val EQ 'BUS2121'.

IF iv_scvariant EQ 'BBP_SEARCH_SC'.

ev_scvariant = 'ZBBP_SEARCH_SC'.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

I activated the badi, and I can see it performing my code in debug, but when I try it out, the order status screen still shows the 2 icons/pushbuttons for Create Invoice and Create confirmation...

Any ideas?

I have figured it out. In my screen variant I not only had to make the pushbuttons invisible, I also had to make the text for the 2 pushbuttons invisible. This is what triggers the HTML template to show the icons...

This is not very obvious in my opinion. Thanks for all your help.

Marty,

Can you recap all the things you did to disable these two buttons. I am facing the same issue and help from you on this is appreciated.

Hi,

Try using the BADI "BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI".

BR,

Disha.

Pls reward points for useful answers.

I have read the documentation on this badi and I don't see where it can be used for the shopping cart object, BUS2121? Have you used it for this before? If so, which method?

Thanks for your help.
