Search With Overcast Component

Search With Overcast Component is one of the input methods with Overcast Component.

Operation Example

A component to select the Ship Condition for Sales Order Create is set in the field in the yellow frame. Then click on the search icon.

Then the Overcast Component will appear in the dialog.

Select the value you want to use from the results and press the "Select" button to set the value in the field.

This type of input retrieves data from the backend in real time, allows the user to select which value to use from the returned data, and uses it as the input value for the hosting Overcast Component.

How to Setup

This input type requires two settings: Overcast Component and Field.

Setup Overcast Component

In this case, we will create a component that searches for Ship Condition using the SAP Table "TVSBT".

Activate Scenario

Activate the scenario with the following conditions.

• Record Type: Real-time Integration
• Scenario Name: As you like
• SAP System Info:
  • SAP Table: TVSBT
  • Fields: SPRAS, VSBED and VTEXT

Create Component

Create an Overcast Component from the scenario created above.

Preview Object, Preview Record can be anything, Preview component type should be "Value Search using Overcast Component".

Select the Sections tab and choose Query Results. Then, specify Panel as the section type and Selectable Table as the Display Variant.

Next, select Parameter Mapping, and create a new parameter mapping like the following

Confirm that the data is displayed in Preview.

The next step is to configure this Overcast Component to be used as an input.

Setup Field

Open the Overcast Component that uses the Overcast Component created above in Component Builder.

In this case, it is used in SAP Sales Order Create (sapOrderCreate).

Select the Order Header section to open the SHIP_COND field configuration dialog.

Set it up as shown below.

• Input Variant: Search With Overcast Component
• Dialog Title: Ship Condition Search
• Select Component Definition: (The component created above)
• Select Section: TVSBT (scenHEAD)
• Value Field: Shp.Cond. (VSBED)
• Label Field: Description (VTEXT)

Set it up like this and save it

This completes the configuration presented in the example.

Advanced Options

Default Search Section and Search field for initial value data

This setting is used to run the component to find the value and make it selected when given an initial value, such as in parameter mapping.
 

Specify the following parameter mapping for the SAP Sales Order Create component configured above.

Add the following setting to the ORDER_HEADER_IN.SHIP_COND field setting.

• Default Search Section: scenHEAD.VSBED
• Search field for initial value data: Shp.Cond. (VSBED)

Related Value

Using the related parameter sections and filter values, data in the same section (or same row if the section is a Table) can be passed to the search component.

Instead of the Ship Condition search component described above, we will use a new Storage Location search component as an example.

The Storage Location search component is set in the STORE_LOC field of ORDER_ITEM_IN.

• Related Parameter Sections: Specify the parameter to pass the value
• Filter Value: Set the field to get a value or a fixed value.

When you open the Edit Order Items dialog, the Storage Loc. field will appear in the dialog as shown below.

When you launch the Search component, you will see that the same line of Material Code has already been set for Material.

Static Parameters

By setting Static Parameters, you can specify multiple static values for the search component.

Use the Strorage Location search component described above to set the Static Parameter.

• Delimiter: Specifies the delimiter for Sections and Values. A blank field is executed as ','.
• Parameter Sections: Sets the section to which the value is to be set; multiple sections can be set using the delimiter character specified by Delimiter.
• Parameter Values: Sets the value to be passed to the section, which can be set to multiple values using the delimiter specified by Delimiter.

When you start the Search component, you will see that the Plant and Maintenance Status are filled with the values you specified.
