In sap personas 3.0 Can we create a custom search help linking values from function module FI_F4_ZTERM

[surendra_battula]

Good Day

I have a requirement as I have a custom field which is a zterm ( payment term ) on customer transaction. so it is  a search help field. but there is no

standard search help for zterm in knb1 table.  I have checked  in the standard transaction where the f4 help on the field  is linked to function module  FI_F4_ZTERM

I tested the function module and it gives a pop up with all values of payment terms and u can select the value from there.

is there a way i can do the same for this custom field.

I have created a field as f4 help in sap personas 3.0

I have a created a z function module as  rfc calling standard fm FI_F4_ZTERM

and I have done a scripting as below

var rfc=session.CreateRFC("ZFI_ZZTERM","");  ( calling rfc)

rfc.setParameter("I_KOART",'D');                      ( passing type as D)

rfc.requestResults(JSON.stringify(["ET_ZTERM"]));     (return the selected value from popup)

rfc.send();

var zterm=JSON.parse(rfc.getResults("Et_ZTERM"));

I think I am wrong in the sense as the function module gives a  popup as return and there is no data in ET_ZTERM.

until one of the value is selected on the popup.

but how could I get that popup when I click on my custom field search help? please suggest is my idea totally wrong.

thanks in advance

I have managed to fix it this way

1) I have used a wrapper function module where it called FI_F4_ZTERM

2) created a elementary search help and used this function module as  a search help exit.

3) linked the data element zterm to the search help

4) assigned this data element in a structure and linked this structure in whitelist f4

5) linked personas f4 screen element to the field zterm in the structure.

Can anyone explain me this way in more details?

1) What is the wrapper function module? And where should this module be created?

2) Do I need to write the js code for creating rfc and give parameters to it?

Hi Surendra,

This FM is not "Remote Enabled module", so it cannot be called using scripting. What you can do is write a simple wrapper FM which is remote enabled, and call this FM from your wrapper module.

Also, I believe FI_F4_ZTERM  provides an import parameter "I_NO_POP_UP" which when set true, does not shows the pop up. Try setting this flag true first using the setparameter?

Hi Priyadarshi

thanks for the reply. I have created a wrapper function module as rfc and calling the standard function module setting parameter as 'X' for no_pop_up and it comes up with values without a popup screen.

as below image when I click on the field f4 help can I get the values from that rfc  as  a selection list.

the output of the rfc is  a  table type with   values and its descriptions.

I am using the below script

var rfc=session.CreateRFC("ZFI_ZZTERM",'');

rfc.setParameter("I_KOART",'D');

rfc.setparameter("I_NO_POPUP",'X');

rfc.requestResults(JSON.stringify(["ET_ZTERM"]));

rfc.send();

var zterm=JSON.parse(rfc.getResults("ET_ZTERM"));

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/subSCREEN_3000_RESIZING_AREA:SAPLBUS_LOCATOR:2000/subSCREEN_1010_RIGHT_AREA:SAPLBUPA_DIALOG_JOEL:1000/ssubSCREEN_1000_WORKAREA_AREA:SAPLBUPA_DIALOG_JOEL:1100/ssubSCREEN_1100_MAIN_AREA:SAPLBUPA_DIALOG_JOEL:1101/txtPersonas_1440597072718").text = ZTERM;

please can I be assisted.
