17.02 Assign values to screen elements

Purpose

In this article, you will learn about the usage of set() to automatically assign values to the required fields. We'll guide you through the following steps.

• Assign values to the input fields on the same screen
• Assign values to the radio buttons on the different screen

User Interface

//Create this file SAPMV45A.E0101.sjs inside your script folder for customizing the Create Sales Order: Initial Screen

//Now, let's start adding the Liquid UI script to the above file and save it.

Assign values to the input fields on the same screen.

1. Assign values to the required input fields on the Create Sales Order: Initial Screen, as shown below.
    

   //Assigns OR Value to Order Type input field.
   set("F[Order Type]","OR");
    // Assigns 1000 value to Sales organization input field
   set("F[Sales organization]","1000");
    // Assigns 10 value to Distribution Channel input field
   set("F[Distribution Channel]","10");
    // Assigns 00 value to Division input field
   set("F[Division]","00"); 
   

    
   
    

Assign values to the radio buttons on the different screen

1. Delete unnecessary screen elements on the Create Sales Order: Initial Screen using the del command, as shown below.
    

   // Deletes Order Type input field
   del("F[Order Type]",{"triple":true});
   // Deletes Organizational Data groupbox
   del("G[Organizational Data]");
   // Deletes Create with Reference pushbutton
   del("P[Create with Reference]");
   // Deletes Sales pushbutton
   del("P[Sales]");
   // Deletes Item overview pushbutton
   del("P[Item overview]");
   // Deletes Ordering party pushbutton
   del("P[Ordering party]");
   

    
   
    
2. Add two radio buttons namely Individual Slip and Collective Slip to assign their values to the desired fields and a checkbox with the label "Print", as shown below.
   
    

   // Creates a radiobutton Individual Slip with technical name as z_radio and value as A
   radiobutton([1,25],"Indvidual Slip",{"name":"z_radio","value":"A"});
   // Creates a radiobutton Collective Slip with technical name as z_radio and value as B
   radiobutton([2,25],"Collective Slip",{"name":"z_radio","value":"B"});
   // Creates checkbox Print with technical name as z_va01_print
   checkbox([3,25],"Print",{"name":"z_va01_print","default":"X"});
   

    
   
    
3. Add a toolbar pushbutton with the label Movement Type to execute the process and run z_test, when clicked.
   
    

   // Creates Movement Type toolbar pushbutton to run z_test process on click
   pushbutton([TOOLBAR],"Movement Type","/nmb1c",{"process":z_test});
   

    
   
    
4. Add a function to check the radio button value. 
   
    

   // Creates z_test function to check the radio button value
   function z_test() {
           onscreen 'SAPMM07M.0400'
           if(z_radio=="A") {
             set("R[Individual Slip]","X");
             }
             if(z_radio=="B") {
               set("R[Collective Slip]","X");
             }
           }
   

SAP Process

1. Refresh the SAP screen. Select any radio button on the Create Sales Order: Initial Screen and check the Print checkbox. Then, click the Movement Type toolbar pushbutton, as shown below.
   
    
   
    
2. Now, you will be navigated to the MB1C transaction and could see the Collective Slip radio button is pre-selected. Therefore using the set(), radio button values can be passed from one screen to another.
