Process documentationCreating a Salesorder iView Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In this example, you build an iView in which the user can input a customer number and sales organization number in order to display a table - sorted by document number - of all orders placed by that customer. From the displayed list, the user can then select a document and subsequently display the order details - Material, Currency, Net Price, Reference Quantity and relative Order Size - in a second table.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the IDES system from the connected portal.

  • You have been mapped to a user of the ERP (R/3) back-end system.

  • The following BAPIs are available from the system:

    • BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST

    • BAPI_SALESORDER_GETSTATUS

Process

You build the iView in three stages:

  1. Create the basic flow for generating the tables of orders: Creating the Base Model

  2. Enhance this model by adding a second data service for displaying the order details: Adding a Second Data Service

  3. Fine-tune the iView layout, deploy the model and export it: Fine-Tuning

Result

In this incremental example, you learn to perform a number of basic tasks of Visual Composer, including:

  • Create an iView component and add data services.

  • Define an input form and a start point for the first data service.

  • Define a table view for output from the first data service.

  • Add a second data service, and map the data from the output table to it.

  • Define a table view for output from the second data service.

  • Define a dynamic expression in the output table, using the Expressions Editor.

  • Adjust the layout of the views.

  • Define a list of entries for a drop-down list.

  • Preview the iView.

  • Deploy the iView to the portal.
