Adding elementry search help to SAP standard Collective Search help

Hi,
I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and activated to it.
it got activated sucessfully.
Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A.
How can i do that?
can i add it directly to MAT1_A (sell --->search help <MAT1_A> changes --> in included search helpss tab using + (insert icon) )
Thanks & regards

I solved my problem :
I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and copied Database View M_MAT1M to ZZ_M_MAT1M and addedd same fields and activated both.
both got activated sucessfully.
Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A and this Z-search help shd appear on the first tab.
so I just went to collective search help MAT1_A in change mode --> click on "+" icon addedd my ZZ__ search help, save and activated it.
If you dont really care in which tab your search help shd appear, then the best option is to use Append Search help.
Note : if you are directly adding your search help in collective standard search help, then its better to remove hotkey form your custom elementry search help, as, if not remove will lead to warnings or make sure that you have unique hotkey in that collective search help.

How To add a field in search criteria in SAP standard report

Hi AlL,
I have a requirement where i need to add a field in search criteria of selection screen and display in output of Standard SAP report.
I have read in threads that to obtain Access key and modify the code in std report , if i am not able to get an Access key and not allowed to copy the report as Z.
Could you please let me know how to solve this kind of requirement.
thanks
Chary

Well - it's a report so there won't be a user exit. I think your options are what the others (and you) have suggested - change the standard program or make a copy.
There are different opinions on the forum about which to do.

Customised help in SAP standard

Hi everybody
I have a very peculiar specification.
The users want to have a customised help on the main screens - like ME21N, MIGO,MIRO etc
I know that thers a HTML document to be attached to each screen or fields on the screen
But how to attach them, I dont know
anybody has any idea?

Hi,
pasted documentation of data element additional documentation:
The documentation of a data element is displayed in the F1 help for each screen field that refers to this data element.
You can enhance the documentation of the data element with screen- specific information using data element supplements. A data element supplement must be assigned to a screen. The text of the data element supplement appears in the F1 help on this screen in addition to the documentation of the data element.
If a data element supplement is created directly with the corresponding screen (call F1 help, go to documentation maintenance with F7 or the right mouse key, and enter the number of the data element supplement in the next dialog box), the screen and the data element supplement are automatically assigned to each other. Otherwise you must maintain this link in table THLPF.
I hope this will enable you to provide the solution in your company.

Clemens

How can we create a Collective search help

Hi all sap experts,
How can we create a Collective search help on field OBJECT which allows to search tables
o ARCH_OBJ
o TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
on 2 tabs.
Thanks,
Basu

Hi
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

Problem creating a hybrid collective search help for werks,bukrs and ekorg

Hi All,
I have to create a collective search help for Org_key field of a custom table.
This org_key field is a char4 field and can hold the value for plant , bukrs and ekorg.
I need to create a collective search help which includes
C_T001                          Collective Search Help for BUKRS (Company Code)
H_T001W_NEW     Possible Entries for Plants
H_T024E                         Input Help for Purchasing Organization
I have added org_key field in the field description , how can i do the parameter assigment ( or declare the field description ) so that if the user press F4 for org_key field ,he is able to see all the search paths corresponding to C_T001,H_T001W_NEW, and H_T024E simultaneously, and corresponding to value chosen ( for plant , werks or ekorg ) the value is passed back to the org_key field.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Anurag

Problem resolved. You can hard code values, like the domain name within the search help.
Although I have found that if you don't use a search help and you have domain values then your drop-down list values will be automatically populated from the domain values for the field. At least in my dynpro it does.

Not sure what you're asking, or why you need a collective search help. Sounds like you had what you need with the elementary.
But, for a really good how-to, look at how SAP constructs collective search helps, like DEBI, or ASH_VMVA or others.
