Another option is to use the SAP RFMs for long text, that would work for any Tcodes independent of the list we support via this feature.

Hi Jayasri,
I still have IT looking into things on this side. The support case I submitted hasn't been very helpful, so I'm using info from this post as well as support to try to piece it all together. I'll be sure to post how we land in the end.

Hey Vanessa,
I am curious if you were able to get a resolution. The last I tested BP, I found that this does not fully work.
In fairness, It was never released as a supported Tcode but we have tried hacking it by updating the config table.

Turns out only the BUT000 piece works, not the KNA1 and KNVV texts.
Here is the IDEA I submitted a while ago, please vote - https://ideas.precisely.com/ideas/AUTM-I-62

Hi Vanessa,
yes, that's my understanding. The "add longtext feature" needs the right T-Codes and the right entries in /WINSHTLQ/LTXMAP and /WINSHTLQ/MANDTX.
Please also check this thread for your information: https://community.precisely.com/discussion/customer-master-customer-text
You may want to reach out to our support team for further details.

Hi Wolfgang,
We are running Automate Studio 12.1, with AFM 20.2. We upgraded the AFM when we upgraded to S4 HANA.
We also stopped using the XD01/02/03 t-codes and IT created custom ZD01/02/03 t-codes. Could this be part of the problem? The AFM doesn't recognize the custom codes, and therefore the function will not work without customization?

Dear Vanessa,
Is the Automate Studio version you are using even supported with the S/4HANA system, and if so, which AFM version is installed?
Transaction code BP supports the "add longtext feature" since Studio version 11.3 - the corresponding TDOBJECT is "BUT000". During installation, the table /WINSHTLQ/LTXMAP is automatically created. This does not need to be modified.
I also recommend opening a support ticket regarding this matter.

Hello
Wondering if anyone has run into this. Since upgrading to S4 Hana, and now using the BP code to create customers and vendors (instead of XD01/XD02), we lost the ability to use the long text feature in Studio. IT has just maintained BP in the /WINSHTLQ/LTXMAP table in SM30, so I can now see the long text options, however, I am receiving an RFC error when I try to create/test a script. IT is not familiar with this table and is asking what the proper text objects should be as BP does not hit the KNA1, KNB1, KNVV, KNVK tables like the XD codes did.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
