How to Handle User Input from Popup with Validation in SAP ERP?

SAP ERP systems often utilize popups for user input, making it essential to ensure effective collection and validation of user data. In this post, we’ll dive into common issues faced when capturing user input from a popup, and how to efficiently manage these inputs with proper validation logic.

The Problem: Capturing Input from a Popup

When you're developing interactive applications in SAP ERP, you might encounter scenarios requiring user input through a popup. For example, if you need to capture a percentage value, it’s crucial that the input meets specific criteria. The challenge arises when trying to assign this input to a variable for further processing.

A typical question might be: "How can I capture a single user input value from a popup while ensuring it falls within a predetermined range?" This is something many developers face frequently.

The Solution: Utilizing Functions for Input and Validation

To address the problem of capturing user input efficiently, you can adopt one of the following approaches using SAP Function Modules (FMs):

Option 1: Using POPUP_GET_VALUES

Understanding the Function:

POPUP_GET_VALUES allows you to retrieve multiple values by working with a table. This is ideal for scenarios where you need to gather several inputs from the user.

Implementation Steps:

Define a structure or table to hold your field values.

Use this table to reference your input fields in the popup.

Validation:

The good news is that this function will inherently check the input format, ensuring users enter valid data according to the field parameters defined.

Option 2: Using POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE

If you only need a single piece of information, this might be the best option:

Function Overview:

POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE allows for simpler input, focusing on just one field at a time.

Combining with Validation:

After gathering input using this function, ensure to implement your own validation logic.

Since you're collecting a percentage, you can write additional checks post-input to verify:

Input is numeric.

Input falls within the range of 0-100.

Example Implementation

Here’s a brief illustration of using POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE:

Key Takeaways

Choose the Right Function: Depending on your needs (one value vs multiple), choose between POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE and POPUP_GET_VALUES.

Implement Validation: Regardless of the method chosen, always validate the input to ensure it meets your application's requirements.

User Feedback: After input, provide feedback or error messages to the user to encourage correct and valid input.

By taking these steps, you can create a more robust and user-friendly experience when capturing data through popups in your SAP ERP applications.
