Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues in F4-help functionality across SRM and EBP modules where backend values, descriptions, or dropdown lists for accounting objects are not displayed correctly. It is recommended to apply and refer to Note 815849 to ensure proper customization and avoid multiple default values in PPOMA_BBP affecting the visibility of backend F4-help values. Additional solutions include checking for proper Badi implementations and referred notes to resolve description and dropdown list issues, particularly in cost assignment scenarios. System configurations in 'Define Backend Systems' should also be verified for correct RFC-user settings.
Key words :
dropdown list display problems, check referred notes dealing, referred notes dealing, check badi implementation, dialog enabled referred, recommended user profile, referred notes related, logon rfc-user, cost accignment attributes, ->define backend systems
