Description

 

Function to execute

Decides with function should be executed every time the menu is activated

(In this configuration the menu-item will only show and run if Business Partner has CardCode "C20000")

 

It is also possible here to use special keywords $[CURRENT_ITEM], $[CURRENT_COLUMN] and $[CURRENT_ROW] to control if the menu-item should only be shown if certain GUI-elements have been was right-clicked.

(In this configuration the menu-item will only show and run if the Items Matrix on a document is right-clicked (aka will not be shown it you right-click any other GUI-element))

NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CONDITION-RESULTS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE

NB: IN SAP HANA IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE SQL IF/ELSE SENTENCES. INSTEAD USE THE SELECT CASE … FROM DUMMY SYNTAX
