PPF actions<\/a> (Post Processing Framework).<\/p>\n\n\n\nLet’s take a look at transaction CRMC_ACTION_DEF<\/strong> \u201cDefine action profile<\/em>\u201d to see one of the two actions that are offered when testing a DC, for example the PPF action \u201cConfirm Defect Correction with Transport<\/em>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic09-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis action sets the status S1TMHEAD E0012<\/strong> \u201cConfirmed<\/em>\u201d when executed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic10-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHowever, it is not enough for a PPF action to be defined, it must also be scheduled, otherwise it cannot be executed and will not be offered in the \u201cAction<\/em>\u201d menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScheduling is set up with the very slow and cumbersome transaction CRMC_ACTION_CONF<\/strong> \u201cConfigure action profile<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis scheduling is usually linked to a scheduling condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic11-2.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnly when the condition is met does the action appear in the \u201cAction<\/em>\u201d menu so that the user can select and execute it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is what the scheduling condition looks like in the somewhat funny rule editor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic12-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe action \u201cConfirm Defect Correction with Transport<\/em>\u201d is only offered if the current status is S1TMHEAD E0004<\/strong> \u201cTransport to Retesting<\/em>\u201d (++<\/strong> is a wildcard), the process is error-free and<\/strong> (!) the DOCUMENT_ASSIGNED<\/strong> parameter is not set! CONFIRM_ALLOWED<\/strong> is an additional conditional parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMost of the parameters in this parameter container that are evaluated in this condition originate from the currently active \u201cBusiness Object<\/em>\u201d, in this case BUS2000116<\/strong> \u201cS<\/em><\/strong>ervice<\/em>\u201d. They can be recognized by the prefix \u201c&CRM Service Process.<\/em>\u201d. These are filled automatically at runtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy the way, the \u201cS<\/strong>\u201d that automatically precedes the short description of the transport requests generated by the ChaRM\/FB originates from this \u201cS<\/strong>ervice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFurther custom parameters can be defined, but you have to fill them in yourself using your own coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic13-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe technology behind the conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This filling of your own additional parameters takes place in an implementation of the Business Add-In (BAdI) CONTAINER_PPF<\/strong>. Transaction SE18<\/strong> is responsible for maintaining BAdIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere is the crucial implementation of Focused Build (SE18 -> Implementation menu -> Overview):<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic14-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe are now entering the innermost part of the machine, namely the FB implementation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.blue.works\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pic15-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe procedure is quite linear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a certain parameter exists in the container that is evaluated by the scheduling condition, the corresponding method is called, which is kindly called the same and which determines the value of the parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- DOCUMENT_ASSIGNED()<\/strong> reads the direct relationship to a preceding document, and if a Defect S1DM is linked to the current process, ‘X<\/em>‘ is entered as the value.
This means that the scheduling condition is not<\/strong> fulfilled. The action is therefore not<\/strong> offered. In other words: if the defect correction is a follow-up document of a defect, it cannot be confirmed directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- CONFIRM_ALLOWED()<\/strong> closes a gap.
It goes backwards through the document flow chain recursively, and if a defect S1DM is found here, a blank is set, which means that the scheduling condition is not offered.
It is therefore not possible to cheat by switching another process type between the defect and the defect correction.
However, I wonder whether the automatic function still works, namely that the confirmation of the defect also confirms the defect correction. I consider this case to be extremely rare and have therefore not tried it out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nEpilogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I hope I have shed enough light on the dazzling behavior of the Focused Build Defect Correction S1TM to clear up the confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
