What I mean is, is the value associated with each checkbox always going to be the same? Or is checking the checkbox going to "open up" a free-form text field for the user to enter whatever text he wants? If it's the former, status management might be appropriate. If it's the latter, not so much.
And if it is the latter, I like the idea of setting up a z-table with MANDT and MATNR as primary keys (same keys as MARA) and putting all your extra fields there.
Or you could set up a separate append structure and append it to MARA.
Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Just try to ensure that the advantages of the method you choose best suit the primary goals of the requirement.
Cheers,
TerryB

Subject: Defining Multiple Fields in One in MARA... Is That Possible?
Hi all,
I added a couple of fields in the past in MARA and now the requirement is to
add 35 more (yes, 35 more!!, what is this company thinking!!)
But all of these fields are pretty much the same type and description
except for the value, meaning is the same field repeated.
The field name is called Extra so I will need extra1, extra2,.... extra35
So I was thinking that instead of defining 35 fields I could just define
only one as zzextra, but on the screen I could represent them with 35
checkboxes and what is going to be store in the table for that field will
be a long text for the checkboxes selected as 1;2;5;33 (if checkbox 1,2,5,
and 33 were selected)
What do you think of this? Is this possible?
or any other input on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks,
neo |
