Screen Field Validation

Allows you to capture specifically configured SAP GUI dialog screen fields during the recording and validate that these fields contain the same values during the playback.

The original requirement for this came from a pharmaceutical company (FDA regulated) who needed to ensure that the “expiry date” for a batch of drugs that had been produced matched what was expected. This was one of their critical business processes that must be tested as a part of FDA compliance.

In order to capture screen fields during the recording, you must configure the table /BTI/AUT_C_DVFL within the central system that specifies which field(s) upon which screens within which transactions should be captured and validated. You perform this configuration via transaction SM30.

!Screen field capture and validation is “approve-listed”. This means that, unless you configure this table, no screen fields will be captured during the recording.

*You are able to configure this table with wild-cards for the various fields. So if you would like to capture all fields for a given transaction code and screen number, then you are able to do this. Equally, you may capture a certain screen field (upon a given program and screen number) regardless of the transction code that initiated it.

Additional information for configuring this new functionality can be found in this FAQ in Zendesk.

*The key table for configuration of this functionality is /BTI/AUT_C_DVFL.
