Dynamic Filter of Decision Table in DSM/BRFplus

[Former Member]

There are some situations where we need to restrict the values of a decision table based on the login Business user, Roles and Authorizations to fulfill the business requirement.

Example: A manufacturing company allowed its dealers to maintain their own discounts for specific brands which are specified by the company. Each dealer login into the system and can maintain the discounts % for their allowed brands. Each dealer should only see/change their own allowed brands, they should not see another dealer’s discounts. This requirement can be implemented by using  below decision table has discount % for all different brands based on the Dealer but the challenge is to dynamically filter the values based login dealer.

Dealer ID	Brand	Discount
DL1	Pepe	30%
DL1	Nike	10%
DL1	American Eagle	30%
DL1	Adidas	30%
DL2	Levis	15%
DL2	Polo Ralph Lauren	20%
DL2	Abercrombie & Fitch	30%
DL2	True Religion	40%

Usually Application exist class can be considered for any kind of custom logic in the DSM/BRFPlus. The application exist class can be used several enhancements like control access of workbench objects, change/active notifications, F4 help for data objects …etc. However, it can’t be used to apply dynamic filters on a decision table.

We can achieve this functionality by enhancing the standard Decision Table WebDynpro Component.

    

Decision Table (Figure 1.1)

Step 1 - Identify the Decision Table WD ABAP technical component name & View:

Right click on the decision table and select the Technical Help context option to know the component name. FDT_WD_DECISON_TABLE is the component and ALTERNATE_VIEW is the view of Decision table.

Identify WD Component Name & View (Figure 1.2)

Step 2 – Add ABAP code to filter the Decision Table:

Enhance the Modifyview (with POST-Exit) method of alternate view. Dynamic table filter logic need to be added by using API. Thecurrent Decision Table instance can be obtained by using wd_comp_controller->mo_model_cl->mo_dcsn_table attribute.

Make sure this filter is applying only for the decision table that we wanted to filter. We should check condition by the decision table ID. Then it will not effect to the other Decision Tables.
