Entering default search data in BBP_POC

[Former Member]

Hi all.

When using extended search for purchase orders in Process Purchase Orders, does anyone know of a way to fill some of the fields with default values? I am thinking for example the "Requester" field could by default be filled with the particular user's BP number instead of them searching for other than their own purchase orders. Can some sort of BAdI do this? Any ideas?

I am using SRM 4.0, server 5.0. I would like the field Requester to be default filled with the particular user's BP number.

Hi Disha.

Well, seemed to be interesting, but this only goes for the goods receipt processes - perhaps there is some kind of note for Process Purchase Orders (BBP_POC)?

Anybody had any success by entering default search criteria for BBP_POC? Take the example where a shopper would like to search only his own purchase orders, then he would like the field with Requestors to be filled with his BP number by default - the purchasers themselves do not know their BP number, so a default solution would seem logical to me, so I cannot believe that noone else has ever had a similar request?

Hello,

we did this buy setting an enharcement in the program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS in subroutine SET_SEL_VALUES at the last

The code that changes the correct table: (you need the partner guid for the user )

Read table ET_SEARCH_FIELDS into wa_et_search_fields with key FIELD_NAME = 'REQUESTOR_GUID'.

wa_et_search_fields-FIELD_CONTENT = wa_but000-PARTNER_GUID.

modify ET_SEARCH_FIELDS from wa_et_search_fields index sy-tabix.

Just be aware of that SAP does not support errors when you change the standard functions.

Hi Dennis,

There is a OSS note available for saving the search fields in the BBP_POC transaction.

You have to enter the search criteria once (in your case requestor) then it will save that field, later whenever you use BBP_POC for search this field will get populated by default.

Please look at the following OSS notes which will help in resolving your issue to some extent :

Note 1082123 - BBP_POC - saving search criteria fields

Note 1128758 - BBP_POC: Search Issue in Purchase Order

Note 1086891 - BBP_POC search incorrect for user maintained in txn PFCG

I think the first OSS note will help your cause.

Award points for helpful answers.
