Domain Fixed Values as CDS Value Help in S/4HANA

“Fiori Elements” is a great opportunity for rapid application development for simple scenarios. In lot of cases ABAP developers maintain domain fixed values to have a drop-down list automatically generated by one of the UI technologies like GUI and WebDynpro. Domain fixed value often represent a Status or something like that, where we can say the values are static. In case of OData services and UI5 such control is not generated automatically, but you need to put annotations in your CDS View to make this working. We’ll use CDS Views in the below snippets, to retrive domain low fixed values and their description. The approach below is not the only one, which can lead to the same result. At the end the Object Page template in Fiori Elements ( or your app importing annotation file) will consider the annotations and display a proper value help.

Domain Fixed Values as CDS Value Help but not S/4HANA

Attention this article is not for S/4HANA, which already delivers standard CDS View I_DomainFixedValue for exposing domain fixed values. Use this approach in lower NetWeaver releases in non S/4HANA systems.

F4 / search help, disable personalisation values

Include the code below into the search help exit to disable personalization (create a search help exit or enhance an existing one )

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.
  callcontrol-pvalues = 'E'.
ENDIF.

F4 / search help, filter results dynamically

When you want to filter the results dynamically based on some criteria, you can do it in search help exits. The example below demonstrates how to create your own exit.
