Determining Action Profiles and Action Definitions (SAP Library

Determining Action Profiles and Action Definitions

Use

This procedure describes how you determine action profiles and templates using the PPF user interface. You can call this transaction either directly or in the Implementation Guide of the relevant application. The latter procedure is recommended because the application-specific documentation is provided in the Implementation Guide. This documentation only describes the settings options in general terms.

The applications provide the default settings for the action profiles and templates. Some default settings (like, for example, for the applications and contexts) must not be changed. For more information, see the documentation for the relevant application.

Procedure

Application-specific call

The procedure is described in the documentation for the relevant application.

Direct call

In the next screen, you can enter the following selection criteria:

For which application and/or which application context you want to determine the conditions
In which editing type you want to call the conditions (display, change or transport)

Create and change action definition

In the action profile list, select the profile for which you want to create or change an action definition.

Partner function

Here you can enter the default setting for the partner function, at which the action is directed. The partner function is preset when an action is manually created. (This is also called the partner function in CRM.)

Partner dependent

Select this field if a partner determination is to be performed. In this case, the application developer must transfer a partner class to the PPF.

Changeable in dialog

Enter whether an automatically found action can still be manually changed.

Executable in the dialog

Enter whether the user of the action can be triggered manually during editing of the document.

Can be displayed in the toolbox

Enter whether the action is to be displayed for the application document in the toolbar of the generic object services. This only happens if the object type of the application document supports the object services.

Delete after processing

Enter whether actions of this action definition are to be deleted immediately after they have been successfully processed. The actions are never deleted automatically if there are errors in the processing.

Action determination

Enter the technology with which the actions are to be found.

Action merging

Enter the technology with which newly found actions are to be merged with existing actions.

Sort fields

To set a processing, select the type in the list and choose Set processing. The settings differ depending on the processing type.

If you use processing using SmartForms, note the following:

You must enter the name of the form that is to be used. You must also enter your processing class that the application developer has created, and the processing method, with which the actions are transferred to the SmartForms.

If your application supports optical archiving using ArchiveLink, you can set in the store mode field that the executed actions are automatically archived with the application document. For this, you must make settings such as archive object type and document type in ArchiveLink.
