Hello,
We tried to pull in the "Your Reference" field of Item details OrderData tab, "Delivery Block", "Requirement Type" fields from the Header Procurement tab of VA01 into the All Items table under the sales tab and consolidate all of the VA01 fields into a single tab.
We tried to do it as below:
1. added the field(s) to the table control itself (under the Header- sales tab). These fields were already in the program but not in the table control.
2. In the screen logic- flow logic for the screen, code was added in the "change" statement. The purpose of that was so that the user exit would see any values which we typed in. If this was view only we didnt need to do it but since we needed it editable we needed to add the code.
3. Changes in the user exit to take the values that were typed and save in the variables they belong in.
However later, we decided that this is a "Hard Modification" and we did not want to go ahead doing this. What are the alternative?
There are 2 possible solutions:
Solution 1 : Retain the tabs with the essential fields
Solution 2 : Populate the table structure with the new essential fields. (we are not in favor of this as it includes hard modification)
Results from testing for solution 1 were 1 min 35 Sec per order with one single line item.
Results from testing for solution 2 were 23-25 Sec per order with one single line item.
Keeping the tabs ("Procurement" tab at Header level for Delivery Block and Requirement type fields and "Order Data" at item detail level for "My Reference" isn’t efficient in Personas because it takes time to render each screen between the tabs. What do we do to increase the performance between the tabs in Personas? We have already increased the ITS size based on the sizing and in fact even more (~2000+MB).
We have a go live planned in a month and I am struggling for the right approach. What am I missing?
Attached is the presentation which shows more details.
Slide 1: The As Is functionality of the users.
Slide 2: the To-Be we were working towards.
Your suggestions please on 2 counts:
1. What do we do to increase the performance time between tabs. It takes time for user when they click on item details tab and get back to the header tab.
2. If the hard modification is not a right approach, what do you suggest us to do, given that the performance of tab movements is so bad.
3. If Personas is a not the solution then what do we do next to make the user experience better.
Note: We are on Personas 2.0. Is the silverlight at the browser causing a performance problem?
