How To Add Filter Functionality in ALV Tree

BY RUSHANA KHAN, SAP ABAP CONSULTANT

😊
Hope this blog will help my fellow ABAPers who are developing out-of-the-box solutions every single day
​. If you know other ways of adding this functionality, please do share!

CASE​:​ Few months back, our client had a requirement to add filter criteria for Item Category in ALV Tree
in the custom report.

Challenge​: Currently Standard SAP does not cater filter functionality in CL_ALV_TREE.
Solution​: I was able to complete this requirement by adding a custom button on the ALV Toolbar and
using standard Function Module ​'LVC_FILTER’​ sharing the solution in attachment.

For Demo purposes, I have created a custom program from standard report BCALV_TREE_DEMO and
done custom changes to add filter functionality.

The below program shows the places at which I have incorporated the changes.

Here are the steps followed:

1. In the below program , under PBO in perform init_tree , I have added custom Filter button in
toolbar under subroutine perform ​change_toolbar​.

2. Since a new button in alv toolbar is added, defining a local class lcl_toolbar_event_receiver in
the program , since this is already present in the standard program, declared a new method
on_filter_selected

Under the implementation part of the method on_filter_selected, adding the below code

Our filter functionality logic is in the subroutine filter_function
