It is a good practice to use standard defaults in your developments - it keeps them simpler and more seamless with standard system. Most of the times it also saves server resources. This is why it can be useful to be able to read transaction default values for SAP EWM. E.g. you might want to read what is the default Physical inventory procedure for the current used or does he usually blocks storage bins during inventory counting.

To do this you can use class /SCMB/CL_ESDUS_MANAGER Manager for Dynamic User Parameters. However, it is not so straightforward to use, first you need to understand some basic concepts.

Dynamic settings action IV_ACTION

To use the class you need to create an instance and system requires you to provide 2 parameters: User name and Action for Which Dynamic Settings Are Held. The latter represents a collection of user default values for corresponding functionality. For example IV_ACTION equal to /SCWM/PI will give you all dynamic user default values for physical inventory transaction. If your user already set the corresponding default value - you can find corresponding action in database table /SCMB/ESDUS. In all cases from my experience action name equals to the corresponding transaction code. Unfortunately, I didn't find a collection with all possible actions. There are of course standard constants for action names, but I found them spread between objects for different functionalities.

Dynamic settings element IV_ELEMENT

To actually get a value for some parameter you would need to use method GET which requires you to provide Element for Which Dynamic Settings Are Held. This represents parameter name, for which you want to receive a user default value. Again, - if your user already set the corresponding default value - you can find corresponding element in the table /SCMB/ESDUS.

Changing values

You can also use method SET to change user default values and there is a method PRESET if you want system to write a system default value for corresponding user parameter. Use FLUSH method to write changed values to the database.
