Implement a Field Control Using a Business Add-in (`BAdI`)

1. Open ADT, select File > New > Other.

   

2. Search ABAP Cloud Project, select it and choose Next >.

   

3. Select SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment, enter the ABAP service instance URL and choose Next.

   

4. To log on, choose Open Logon Page in Browser, then choose Next.

   

   .

   

5. Check your ABAP service instance connection and choose Finish.

   

Your project is available in the Project Explorer.

First, create a package for your development objects, or use an existing package (for example, if you have already created a BAdI.)

1. Choose your project, then choose New > ABAP Package from the context menu.

   

2. Enter the following.

   • Zxx_MM_PUR_S4_BADI
   • BADIs for MM Purchasing

3. Optional: Choose Add to favorite packages, then choose Next

   

4. Choose Create a new request, enter a meaningful description, e.g. Test BADIs MM-PURCHASING then choose Finish.

1. First make sure that the released APIs are displayed by application component: In your project, navigate to Released Objects. The tree should show the Released Objects sorted by Application Component.

   

2. If not, choose Configure Tree from the context menu, then select Application Component from the left side ( Available Tree Levels ) and add it to the right side ( Selected Tree Levels ). Move it to the top. Then choose Finish.

   

   .

   

3. In your project, drill down to Released Objects > MM-PUR-VM > Enhancements > Enhancement Spots > MM_PUR_S4_PR_FLDCNTRL_SIMPLE and open it by double-clicking.

   

The BAdI enhancement spot appears in a new editor, showing you the available BAdI definitions (1).

To help you create your own enhancements, example classes are provided (2).

A complete searchable table of available BAdIs and the Fiori apps to which they pertain is available here: SAP Help Portal: Adaptation of App Behavior

Next, you need a container within the enhancement spot for your BADI implementations. This is known as an enhancement implementation.

1. Select your package Zxx_MM_PUR_S4_BADI and choose New > Other ABAP Object from the context menu.

   

2. Filter by BAdI, choose BAdI Enhancement Implementation, then choose Next.

3. Add the following and choose Next.

   • Name: Zxx_BADI_FIELD_CONTROL_PO

   • Description: Field control: Change price to hidden

   • Enhancement Spot: MM_PUR_S4_PR_FLDCNTRL_SIMPLE

     

4. Choose the transport request, then choose Finish.

Your BAdI enhancement implementation appears in a new editor. It implements the enhancement spot MM_PUR_S4_PR_FLDCNTRL_SIMPLE.

1. Choose Add BAdI.

   

2. Add the following, then choose Next:

   • BAdI Definition: MM_PUR_S4_PR_FLDCNTRL_SIMPLE (Add by clicking on Browse)
   • BAdI Implementation Name: ZXX_BADI_FLDCONTROL_PO_IMPL

   

Ignore the error. You will fix this in the next step.

1. Choose Implementing Class.

   

2. Add the following, then choose Next.

   • Name: ZXX_CL_FLDCONTROL_PO
   • Description: Implement hide price for given user
   • Interfaces: IF_MM_PUR_S4_PR_FLDCNTRL (added automatically)

   

3. Choose the transport request, then choose Finish.

   The class appears in a new editor with skeleton code.

   

4. Format, save, and activate the class ( Shift+F1, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+F3 ).

5. Go back to your BAdI implementation ZXX_BADI_FLDCONTROL_PO_IMPL and activate it too.

The error will disappear.

1. Add the following code to the method implementation if_mm_pur_s4_pr_fldcntrl~modify_fieldcontrols.
