Renaming a document tab is a page customization that is frequently performed in SAP Sourcing.

Procedure

To rename a document tab:

  1. Choose the tab to be customized.

  2. Choose Reference Guide.

    You must have the appropriate rights to access the Reference Guide.

  3. In the Class Reference page for the page element, choose UI View.

  4. Under UI Pages, copy the value in the UI ID column for the document containing the tab to customize.

    Example Example

    For Projects: projects.projects.ui.buyside.default

    End of the example.

    Note Note

    An object can have more than one user interface, with a separate ID assigned to each. For example, there may be one ID for the purchasing side and another for the supplier side. You must create a separate customization record for each UI element that you want to change.

    End of the note.
  5. Open a new SAP Sourcing window and navigate to   Setup   System Setup   User Interface   Page Customization  .

  6. On the Page Customization page, choose Create.

  7. On the Creating: Page Customization page, enter the value you copied from the Class Reference page into the UI ID field.

    Note Note

    This value must be a valid UI metadata ID obtained from the Reference Guide.

    End of the note.
  8. Under Overrides, choose Add to add an override.

    A blank table row appears.

  9. Go to the window displaying the Class Reference page of the Reference Guide and copy the Page ID value for the tab to change.

    For example, the Page ID for the Project Header tab is header.

  10. Go to the window displaying the Creating: Page Customization page and, in the Field ID field in the empty table row, enter the value as tab.<tab Page ID>.

    Example Example

    For the Project Header tab, enter tab.header.

    End of the example.
  11. Under Property, choose Label.
