Introduction
This document will cover the basic steps that should be followed to get a editable field at the output of ALV.

The Deployment Logic

Create your custom program

Define Field Catalog, Define Style table , Define Data Tab and include style table in this.

In fieldcatalog pass Edit Parameter checked for which column output should editable. Pass style into data table and call Function Module

On output you will find a single row based on condition editable.

Steps involved
The step that needs to be followed is as below. 1. Go to Se 37 , Create a Function module based on your naming convention .

Define in Top data .

DATA: LS_EDIT TYPE LVC_S_STYL, LT_EDIT TYPE LVC_T_STYL.

Define : HANDLE_STYLE TYPE LVC_T_STYL, "FOR DISABLE In your data tab. e.g- it_vbap is data tab.where 2 fields for data vbeln,posnr . so added handle_style into data tab.
e.g. DATA: BEGIN OF IT_VBAP OCCURS 0, VBELN LIKE VBAP-VBELN, POSNR LIKE VBAP-POSNR, Flag, HANDLE_STYLE TYPE LVC_T_STYL, "FOR DISABLE END OF IT_VBAP.

2. In importing parameter Pass FLAG a mandatory Flag to and mention default value 1 for 167 infotype . As shown blow.
LOOP AT IT_VBAP INTO LS_OUTTAB WHERE FLAG = 'X'. V_INDEX = SY-TABIX.

LS_EDIT-FIELDNAME = 'VBELN'. LS_EDIT-STYLE = CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_ENAABLED. LS_EDIT-STYLE2 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-STYLE3 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-STYLE4 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-MAXLEN = 8. INSERT LS_EDIT INTO TABLE LT_EDIT. LS_EDIT-FIELDNAME = 'POSNR'. LS_EDIT-STYLE = CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_ENABLED.

LS_EDIT-STYLE2 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-STYLE3 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-STYLE4 = SPACE. LS_EDIT-MAXLEN = 8. INSERT LS_EDIT INTO TABLE LT_EDIT. INSERT LINES OF LT_EDIT INTO TABLE LS_OUTTAB-HANDLE_STYLE. MODIFY IT_VBAP INDEX V_INDEX FROM LS_OUTTAB TRANSPORTING

HANDLE_STYLE .

ENDLOOP.

3. Go to Tables Define While filling fieldcat pass following for the column you want to make as editable.
FIELDCAT-EDIT = 'X'.

Call Fm

--- CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC' EXPORTING I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = SY-REPID IT_FIELDCAT_LVC TABLES T_OUTTAB EXCEPTIONS PROGRAM_ERROR OTHERS = 1 = 2. = IT_VBAP[] = IT_FIELDCAT

Output

Conclusion
This code could be used to get a editable row in the ALV outupu screen. Objective of this white paper is to Standardize and automate the efforts of Architects in applying this solution and Developers using the logic to maximum effect so as to reduce the development cycle.Reusablity of efforts is key to deliver more in short time to reduce the turn around time in Project management.
