Adding Search help to a field of standard transction

hi experts,
i m new to abap.
my pp consultant wants that in transaction MM03, for the field on selection screen (Material) one more search help should be added. and on pressing f4 it should be displayed there with other search options.
The search field is "(Document)-Number of the drawing that exists for this object".
Note: To see this field run transaction MM03, enter a material and press enter then we get a screen to choose a view. choose basic data2. In the block "design drawing" there is a field for "Document".
is it possible? if yes how much time it would take and to do it.
how should i go about it.
plz help.

Hi ANNIE,
Go through the following Procedure to add a Search help to a field of standard Transaction
The Matchcode is replaced by search help from the version 4.6C.
I will tell u how create the search help.
Name of a search help
A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
(F4 helps) can be defined.
There are the following types of search helps:
o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
possible entries.
o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
Give name as ztest and click create
There are two types of search help.
Once is elementary search help
& collective search help
Choose one.
Add the data element.
MatchCode is replaced by search helps.
To attach a search help to a field.
Use this code.

progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
clear value_tab.
refresh value_tab.

Help needed

hi, Jkuma,
we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
our conclustions are:
1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
how this is helpful hint for you.

Attaching Search Help for screen field in standard transaction

Dear All,
I want to attach my own custom search help for field 'Requiremenr Tracking Number (BEDNR) in PO (ME21n).
How can i do this?
Pls gv the stps.
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards.

Prasad, you know, when I search forum for answers, I'm really disappointed when I see people have found a solution but don't share, and as the thread was maybe one year old or later, I don't feel to ask because the guy probably don't remember what he did. So giving a little explanation immediately is always a very good idea.

Adding search help to standard SAP field

Hi Experts,
I need to add search help to field ZUONR i.e assignment field in various tcode like fb70,fb60,f-02.etc which will select data from
Z tables . I have found out serach help exit F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE but as per my knowledge that is to change existing standard search help.But to field ZUONR there is no search help attached.How can new Z search help be added to field ZUONR without use of access key.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Kaustubh Kabre.

Hi,
I don't know how to change "Value table" field on domain without access key, but if nothing else work, you can add new fixed values. From menu Goto->fixed value append.
Other possibility is to use GuiXT -> write script that will call your FM that will get data from your table and show them.

Thanks in advance.
Guru

hie
to add a search help to a particular field u need to get the table name where that field is located. secondly go to se11 and enter an appropriate name for your search help, allocate the table where values are going to be taken as well as the search criteria. Afterwards to the table where WEMPF is and on the search help enter your custom search help. save and activate and you shud try MIGO once more and the field WEMPF should have an F4 help.

Search help for a field in a web dynpro app

Hi All,
I have a web dybpro application where I need to add a field on the selection screen, the field that I need to add is USR02-BNAME. I have added the required field on the screen but now I need to have a F4 help for the same but when I looked US02 the search help is not defined, can you please tell me how can get this.
Thanks

Raja,
If your attribute( selection field) is of type any dataelement and if corresponding domain has values then those values will appear in F4 help.
Or in se11 create one search help for that field.automatically it will reflect in apps.
Or Use OVS( Object value selector) , its a kind of advance search help...

Search Help in a Field Exit

Hi all, i would like to know if it is possible to put a search help in a Field exit or if there is some other way to create a searh help for a standard field of a standard trax. the Search help i need is for a date that is not contemplated by SAP.
Reward points guaranteed!!!!!thanks in advance, sorry for my bad English

For example i have the field section in fch5. as it did not use that field (char 10) i was needing to input a date that was not contemplated by SAP. So i use this field 'section' to do this. this field has a field exit that validate the date, because it is a char field. i did this with FM RP_CHECK_DATE, so if the user enter 12.56.2006 an E message is displayed. My question is: is it possible to put a search help of date in that field?
thank all.

No search help for Custom field ZZKUKLA in vk11

Hi,
I have added the field KUKLA - Customer classification as a pricing field in KOMP. Created an access sequence as follows: Sales Org.-> Customer Classification - material group.
In the creation of the record in VK11 I'm not getting the search help for the ZZKUKLA field. The thing is that if I'm in change or display, the search help for the field appears and lists the possible values.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!
/Patrik

Dear Pratik,
Request you to first add Customer classification field (ZZKUKLA) in KOMK structure insted of structure KOMP. Becasue it is header structure filed. After add this new filed in KOMK structure, Add this new filed in your field catelog and than create table and new access sequence. Also request you to select KOMK structure in your access sequence against this new field Customer classification ZZKUKLA.

Search help for custome field with different data type

Hi Friends,
I have Created a custom table in which i have created a field is
ZMATLONG which stores material number.
Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
How can i do it..?
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
MATNR as ZMATLONG.
Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG it will work.
I tried this its working fine.

Hi how to attach search help to a field

hi all,
how to attach search help to a field.

hi
Attaching a search help to a field
A search help can influence the behavior of a field when the input help is called. The search help must be assigned to the field in order to do this. You have the following options for this assignment:
Attach search help to a data element / table or structure field / screen field / check table.
Conventionally search helps are attached to table fields or data elements. We shall see the same.
Attaching a search help to a table field
Choose the field name, click on search help tab and
provide the name of the search help.
A search help is attached to a field of a table or structure in the maintenance transaction for this table/structure, analogously to attaching to a table. You must assign the interface parameters of the search help to any fields of the table/structure. The search field must be assigned to an EXPORT parameter of the search help at this time.
Attach the search help to the table field
The search help ZSTRAVELAG_NAME is therefore directly attached to the field AGENCYNUM of table ZSTRAVELAG.
Attaching a search help to a data element
Provide the search help name and the parameter name
under the further characteristics tab of the data element.
If the input help of a field is defined by its data element, no further screen fields can be used in the input help.
Also note that the input F4 help would be available wherever the data element is used.
Attaching a search help to a screen element
A search help can be directly assigned to a screen field in two ways.
The name of the search help must be entered in the Screen Painter in the Attributes for the field in the field Search help.
The name of the search help can be defined for selection screens in ABAP reports in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement directly following the supplement MATCHCODE OBJECT.
However, input help is only available for this particular screen.
In this case, the search help is only available for this screen.
IF YOU WANT TO ATTCH A SERACH HELP TO THE SCREEN FILED THIS IS THE CODE
TYPES : BEGIN OF ST_OBJID_SH,
OTYPE TYPE HRP1000-OTYPE,
OBJID TYPE HRP1000-OBJID,
END OF ST_OBJID_SH.
