Search Help MAT1A

I need to add two new fields ie.EAN11 & NORMT in MAT1A search help.
Collective search help : MAT1_A.
Elementary Search help : MAT1A.
I have updated the View M_MAT1A with these 2 new fields.and also added the fields in the search help parameters of MAT1A.
When i go to va02 and go into material in 'all items' and press F4, then it will show new fields(EAN11 & NORMT), but when i press enter, The F4 entries does not consist any data for these 2 fields.
How do it fetch data?

Can you check whether there are any entries in view you have changed?
Have you made an entry in search help for these field to display in F4 (List position)

Search help MAT1

hi,
I have created a new search help in SE11 (Z..) and added this one to the SAP standard search help MAT1.
Now: my part (the newly created search help) works fine and as defined.
But: before I added this new search help to search help / matchcode MAT1there were already some others attached to it (customer specific). I do not see them anymore. Once I e.g. create a sales order and search for a material (pressing F4) I do no longer see those "old" search helps but only the newly created ones and sap standard ones. The older and customer specific ones are no longer visible / usable.
Does anyone have an idea??? Would be great as this is a FASTTRACK requirement which is supposed to be moved to production tomorrow.
Thanks for an answer!

Well.....You would see only those Search helps which are displayed here in the Se11 in the Collective Search help.
Its not possible to have some of the Elementary Search helps from somewhere else in the run time.
I am able to see some more standard elementary search help in MAT1, Given below are the same:
MAT1_A
MAT1_MPN
MAT1_TREX
EANE_RFQ_QUOTE_HELP
/BEV2/ED_MAT_NUMBER
Can you check the MAT1 components in the Production system where your changes are not yet moved.

Search Help not getting displayed

Hi ,
I have included my own Search Help ZSH to Standard Search Help MAT1 which is related to field MATNR , in the following path..
In MAT1->MAT1_A, I have INCLUDED my Search Help.
I have tested it in SE11, it's working fine.
But, in VA01 screen when I press F4 on the MATNR field only 9 Search Helps are displayed, and my Z-Search Help is not getting displayed.
What additional settings should I do for the display of my Z-Search Help?
Thanks in advance,
Shivaa...

Tab in search help MM03 and VA03

Hi experts,
I added a new tab in matrn search help MAT1 (MM01/02/03) and it shows ok. But in VA01/02/03 item grid, the search help for matnr does not show the new tab.
VAs tcode use S_MAT1 search help, but MAT1 is in S_MAT1 as collective search help. Are there anythings to do?
How I add a new tab in VAs tcode search help in items grid for material???
Thanks in advance.

The item grid uses SD_MAT1 not S_MAT1 so there isn't a common collective search help where you can append your search help. Just append your search help to SD_MAT1 as well.

How to find an existing search help?

Hi Friends,
How to find an existing search help for some certain fields? for example search help "H_TVKO" is for "Help view for Sales Organizations"[for the field VKORG], and search help "MAT1" is for "Find Material Number"[for the field MATNR]...... but how to find these search helps for a certain field?
Thanks a lot!!

Hello Qiwei,
You can find the search help using their table and fields name.
simply you have to point the cursor on same field for which you want to see search help in SE11.and then in same window search help tab available click on this..
It will show all search help which is having same field.
Have a Nice Day.

Sujeet

CALL SEARCH HELP IN WEB DYNPRO

Description :
My web dynpro contains some buttons and allow some interaction...
One of the buttons is : 'LOAD DATA'...
I'd like to call a search help when the user PRESSES this button, how can i do that ? maybe a reusable component ???
Thank you...

Hi Stephan,
Well there is a way by which you can achieve this functionality... You need to call the static method HANDLE_VALUE_HELP of class CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER. To use it we simply need to pass in a reference to the context element, and the name of an attribute. It will then run the value help defined in the context for that attribute.
However being SAP internal, the method could change or disappear at any time. So this isn't a reliable approach. You would be better off following the approach suggested by the other users. I am however just quoting it for your inspection.
Suppose I have a context node by name NODE1 & an attribute MATNR under it of type MARA-MATNR. Now up on click on a button I want the search help MAT1 for MATNR to be displayed. Below is the coding for the buttons action handler:
method ONACTIONCALL_VALUE_HELP .
data: wd_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        wd_element type ref to if_wD_context_element.
wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE1' ).
wd_element = wd_node->get_element( index = 1 ).
CALL METHOD CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER=>HANDLE_VALUE_HELP
    EXPORTING
      CONTEXT_ELEMENT   = wd_element
      CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE = 'MATNR'.
endmethod.

Needs to modify entries in search help

Hello friends,
I need to modify some entries in the search help for materials (MATNR). I have found that search help MAT1 is used for materials, and when I go inside then I am not able to get the records in the internal table(RECORD_TAB) that displays in the output.
Also the search help exit is standard, so creating a 'Z' exit and replacing in the search may effect other functionality of standard SAP also. So i need to take care of that as well.
Can anyone help me for finding the entries and where i need to modify them.
Regards,
Grover

But I face a problem because RECORD_TAB doesn't fill and data gets in from some other standard program.
I don't understand 'other standard program' - the elementary search help you are referring to does not have an exit, just a view selection. If you add the exit, then you can stop at the 'DISP' callpoint and analyze the data.
Also in that program internal table that contains entries are in a form of string and not with different fields.
Of course, RECORD_TAB is converted at runtime based on the search help definition. This is why you need to used the F4UT_* helper functions to access the data. Better yet, if you overtake the data selection, you'll have your own internal table that you can analyze before mapping it back to RECORD_TAB.

Material search help in MM03, "=" or "MAT1"

Hi Expert,
I'm doing upgrade now from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and have SAP ECC DIMP implemented in our system automatically because the same add-ons also implemented in 4.7 system.
I noticed that in technical information for Material number field in MM03 or MM02, search help for material number is '=' while in 4.7 the search help for material number is "MAT1". Anyone know why such things happen since in other ECC 6.0 system that I know, search help defined in material number field is still "MAT1". Thank you.

Hi,
I have 4.7 implemented.
For MM03 the search help i have is S_Mat1 ---> which is under Data element -->Futher Charateristics of technical info.
For MM02 the search help under technical info is '='.
Data Element is MATNR ---> under that Futher Characteristics i have search help name S_Mat1.
I think the name given to the search helps are different but has no affect on its properties.
I dont think that upgrading to ECC 6.0 has anything to do with the search help.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Darpana.

Search help Enhancement for the Material Number (MAT1 - Search help name)

Hi ,
In my Requirement if the user clicks on the Material Number Search help(eg in ME51N - T.code: Material )
It will shown a additional Search help along with the existing one.
That search help would have input parameter fields as Material Number , Material Group , Material description , Plant and storage location.
The output screen has to display the Available Quantity for the input material, plant and storage location.
The available quantity has to calculated from various Tables like mard , mssq etc.
My question is how to display the available quantity in the search help screen, i tried with search help exit but not successful.
I am displaying the remaining fields(except available quantity) using database view from different tables like Mara , Mard ,Makt.
where to write the Logic for the Available Quantity to display it in search help.
Thanks and Regards,
Prakash K

Hello,
if this search help is collective then you could delete standard single (SAP allows maintain collective search help with out object key registration) one and insert custom search help which has the same structure plus additional field.

Search Help Parameter Default - Problems with VKO and VTW in Sales Order

Hello,
we've implementend an own serchhelp for the material-search.
The fields VKORG and VTWEG have the default VKO and VTW.
If I open this searchhelp in VA03 those values are not filled, if I open it in MM03 or ME23N those values are filled.
My user has the VKO and VTW-parameters set.
We have no custom "preselect-code" implemented.
If I change the values to VKU and VTW the output is the same (works in MM03 / ME23N but not in VA03) (copied default values from MAT1S search help, didn't change my user parameters!)
What could be the problem?

Our searchelp was in our own append ZA_SD_MAT1.
Solution:
We deleted this append and added our search-helps to SD_MAT1 and now everythings works in mm03, me23n and va03.
