EEWB - Adding Table attribute

EEWB - Adding Table attribute

Business Scenario - We need to create a new table by EEWB which can be added as an
assignment block on the Business Partner Page on CRM UI. In turn BOL of Business
Partner (BP) will be enhanced with the new structure.
Scenario: Creating Custom table using EEWB and showing the same as an assignment block
on BP
Accounts Page.
Step 1
Enter the T-code EEWB(SPRO Path : SAP Implementation Guide -> Customer Relationship
Management -> CRM Cross-Application Components --> Easy Enhancement Workbench)

Step 2
Create a Project

After you click on Create Project a window come up as shown in the below screenshot and here
you need to give the name of the Project and Description and also the package.

Step 3

Once the project is created select the button as shown below and create an extension

Step 4
Enter name and description for the extension and select the Bus Object (e.g. BUPA for BP) and
Extension type (ADD_NEW_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE, because we are creating a custom table)

Now the Wizard will guide you through the next steps

Enter the extension Properties, Here in our scenario we choose Multiple Instance because for a
Business Partner we have multiple records to be maintained.

In the next screen after entering the Frame Title we enter the Fields which we want to add in our
custom table. These fields added are custom field. The drawback while using EEWB for creating
a custom table is that we can choose only one field as Key.

Check Table option is there to make the particular field as dropdown or for Value Help etc.

In the next Screen we can make the fields as BW Relevant or Mobile Relevant, i.e. if
requirement comes up going forward for data exchange with BW then these fields will
automatically be extended for data exchange by EEWB, after clicking the check box as shown
below.

See the overview and Select Complete.

Step 5
After that you will see the below screen and your Project is generated and extension is
being created.

Root Object BuilHeader is being enhanced with the new Relation ZZ35XEEW, and a new Z
Database Table ZBUT000019HYKOW with the added fields is being created.

PARTNER field is being added in the Table on its own because we are extending BUPA
Business Object.

Step 6
You generated the extension ZZ35XEEW for object BUPA. To make the new data set available
on the CRM WebClient UI you have to perform a postprocessing step which generates the
configuration for the relevant BSP views.
Make sure that you execute the post processing steps in the predefined order.
If no configuration is available yet, default configurations are generated that include all fields of
the extension.
For the object BUPA, you can change the configurations for the view:

BP_EEW/List

To change the configuration, double-click the view name and go to the Configuration tab
page.

Choose Choose Configuration and select the entry with BP_ACCOUNT as the object
type and ZZ35XEEW as the object subtype for BUPA extensions or BUPR extensions for
normal relationships. For BUPR extensions for contact relationships the object subtype
has to be ZZ35XEEWCONTACT.

Switch to change mode and change the view configuration.

Save your changes.

After choosing the configuration as explained above in the post processing step, you will
get the below screen. Move the fields available in the Available Fields Screen to
Displayed Fields and save the configuration.

After that Execute the next set of processing steps:1. Execute the postprocessing step that calls the report
CRM_BUPA_UI_EXTEND_REPOSITORY.
2. Select a component name to enhance the corresponding application.
For the object BUPA you can extend the following applications by selecting the related
component:
Application Component Name
Account BP_HEAD
Contact BP_CONT
Employee BP_EMPL
3. Prerequisite: To extend the repository you have to have an enhancement set. Make sure that
the selected component has a corresponding enhancement for the selected enhancement set.

4. Enter ZZ35XEEW as the external object name.

5. Execute the report.

Once the execution of report is successful

Follow the next and Final Post Processing steps.
You can extend the following applications by selecting the related component:
Application Component Name Name of Overview Page
Account BP_HEAD BP_HEAD/BPHEADOverview
Contact BP_CONT BP_CONT/BPCONTOverview
Employee BP_EMPL BP_EMPL/BPEMPLOverview
1. Execute the postprocessing step, enter the component name, and double-click the view
for the overview page.
2. On the Configuration tab page, move the view from the Available Assignment Blocks to
the Displayed Assignment Blocks.
3. Choose Show Technical Details and select the view with the name
.BP_EEW/MainWindow. Enter a proper description.
4. Save your data.
5. Now go to the BP_HEAD component in the runtime repository and there you can see the
extended object View ZZ35XEEW.BP_EEW/eOVPList, under the Overview Page.

6.
7. After that you go to the Component Structure Browser of BP_HEAD and there in the
view BPHEADOverview, you can see your BP_EEW view in the available assignment
block section.

9. Move this particular view to the Displayed assignment block and save the configuration
and Run your CRM application. Now you can see the added view in Accounts Page of a
BP.
