Hi all,

My problem is .

I have appended one field in VBAP table, given it a name "WBS ELEMENT"

The field is getting displayed in VA23 as well as VA02 Transaction.

when i create sales order with the quotation reference,

the "WBS Element" of line item of quotation should get updated in "WBS Eleement " of sales order line item

This i am doing by triggering user exit.

Problem is:

Once Quotation line item get copied to the sales order line item

and the screen is in front of you with those details,

before saving sales order .

if you go at the sales order line item withou saving the document

The field i have created in the screen 8459 i.e WBS Element ,doesnt get displayed.

how could i retain the field Ihave created on screen 8459

while creating the sales order from quotation before saving that sales order.

Pleas help .

Hi Vikram,

please check the user exit when ur calling means ... if you are calling user exit while saving sales document so it wont update before saving the sales order. please check with you ABAP consultant when that user exit will trigger.

Hi Vikram,

It seems as it has been coded only to save the values into the new field that you have appended to VBAP. But before saving if the user wants to see the field, it is blank. You can try coding in PBO (process before output) of the relevant screen as follows:

1. Get the reference of the quotation. Something like XVBAP-VGBEL will give this number.

2. Get the value of Z field in VBAP by passing this quotation.

3. Copy the above value to the corresponding Z field in XVBAP (or any internal table which holds VBAP data before saving)

Please reward if helpful.

Hi krishna,

Problem is not that field is empty,

Problem is field itself is not on the screen before saving
