Events for Change Documents - FM For Event Id

Tue Oct 18 16:44:04 EDT 2005

Hi Ramki,

Thank you.

Do you know how the 'FM for object type' and 'event container FM' work? Like with the previous function module, until you have used them, it's pretty difficult to understand how to use them. The available help is not that helpfull.

Regards,

Hi Jerry,

Yes, you can do what you need with the Event Id FM. The FM is executed before the event is created. The parameter CHANGEDOCUMENT has the changes and EVENTS has the event which started the FM. You can examine the changed fields and decide whether to raise the event or not. You can also create additional events for the object by adding events to the EVENTS parameter.

   loop at changedocument_position where fname = 'FIELD1'.
* This is just an example, you may have to do some manipulating to do arithemetic on the old & new
      Difference = changedocument_position-value_New -
                         changedocument_position-value_Old.
      If Difference > 10. 
* Do Nothing - Event will be created.
      Else.
         Refresh Events. "No Event Will be created
      Endif.
      EXIT.
   endloop.

*To raise additional events, you simply append the Event name to the EVENTS parameter.

HTH.

Subject: Events for Change Documents - FM For Event Id

Hi,

I've looked at the help for the 'FM For Event Id' in the Events for Change 
Documents and unfortunately I don't understand the explanation. The explanation 

"This function module is used to determine event names from the data transferred 
by the change document. Its interface therefore has event names as output 
parameters and the change data which is to be saved as input parameters:" 

doesn't answer my question which is what is this function module used for.

What I need to do is to create a new triggering event if a requisition changes 
when the value of the change is less than 10% and there is no active workflow 
for a release relevant requisition.

This is an SAP 46C system.

I want to know whether change documents is the place to make this check.

Thanks,
Jerry
