Material Description Validation

[former_member1270519]

Hello,

We have written a validation on Material Description and the error is being thrown as expected.

But the Requestor is still able to Submit the request despite the error.

We tried to configure this validation in the BADI USMD_RULE_SERVICE but we're not getting data of field MAKTX in the BADI Class.

Can anyone please guide us as to how we can prevent the requestor from being able to submit when the description error is thrown?

Thanks,

Hi Sagar,

• You can set it how messages should be delivered globally in Process Modelling for your Change Request and Entity type. Please see below for the Entity type MATERIAL.

        Set it to Standard.

• In the BADI USMD_RULE_SERVICE, you could validate the description.

       Maintain filter values as MODEL = MM,  ENTITYTYPE = MATERIAL.

       Use CHECK_ENTITY method and check for field TXTMI in the importing parameter IT_DATA.This holds the description value. Check the value and        based on that fill your message in the         exporting parameter ET_MESSAGE.

Right now  I have written the validation  in the feeder class cl_mdg_bs_mat_bo and able to show the errors on UI but still with errors the request is allowing to  submit  which is not correct.

Please help me with sample code to featch the above material description value in a check_entity method of usmd_rule_service badi (I have created the badi class and implemented but it showing empty implementation in check_entity method).

Thanks ,

Hi Sagar,

In your created BADI class, in the CHECK_ENTITY method please put a breakpoint for your user. Now open up the UI screen and try entering description and clicking on Check button. In the debugging, try checking for description values in parameter IT_DATA. Loop IT_DATA and validate the values entered and fill the message parameter ET_MESSAGE accordingly.

METHOD if_ex_usmd_rule_service~check_entity.

     break testuser.

ENDMETHOD.

Hi ,

With your above valuable input , I'm able to validate material description with other way  but just to know the it_data  fetching only the basic data in check_entity method  by passing MM  model  ...I have called the check_entity method again into feeder class to get the material description  value to validate ,is this right way of doing ? Or can we get all the  ui screen data  in check_entity method directly .

Thanks and Regards

You can't get material description directly in the check_entity method.

SAP has left  the entire entity for material description out of the normal check entity method for reasons known to themselves (probably because it's a free text in normal SAP systems)
