How to manually add screen and fields in Mapper

Mapper displays what has been done in recording.  When the recording process is complete and a requirement arises to add a field/screen in Mapper, the user doesn't have to repeat the entire recording process.  These fields/screen can be manually added in Mapper.

One or more fields can be added into Mapper by activating them. In some cases where fields are not available in the Mapper and the screen also has to be added then user can manually add fields/screen using their technical information.

A.Activate fields

Fields can be activated using 'Select Fields' option in the toolbar. 'Advance View' in Mapper tab also allows user to add the fields. Please refer the section below on activating fields using Select Fields or Advanced View option.

'Select Fields' option:

1.Open the process file.

2.Click on the 'Select Fields' button in the toolbar.

3.'Add/Activate More Fields' window is displayed with 'Active' checkbox for the fields.

4.Select the field which is to be added and check the 'Active' checkbox.

5.Enter the excel column to be mapped under the 'Map Value' column.

6.Click on 'Add All Selected' button to successfully add the field in Mapper.

'Advanced View' option:

1. In the Mapper tab, click on 'Advanced View' and select 'All Rows' which displays all rows and columns.

2.Search for the field and click on the 'Active' checkbox to add the field.

B.Addition of screen and fields using technical information

In case if the field is not present in the previous option, user has to manually find the technical name of the SAP field/Screen name and add it in the mapper. In some cases user may have to add the screen as well. This can be achieved in Mapper using Copy and Paste  option or by using Clone option.  Both will result in addition of duplicate rows which user can use to update the missing field/screen information.
