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.
Best regards

Search help for Standard SAP field

Hi,
I need to add a search help to Group key (KONZS) field in XK01 transaction. How can i add our own search help to a field in standard transaction?? This is some what urgent, please give me the solution .
Thanks in Adavance,
Moghani.

You can APPEND your own search help to an SAP field that has search help defined. This is similar to APPENDing fields to an SAP table. But since field KONZS does NOT have any search help assigned, this option is not available to you.
You can also attach the search help to a field on a screen, i.e. limit the scope to that single screen, but this would still require a modification to the system, and hence, an access key. If you want to follow that route, the program name is SAPMF02K, screen 120, element list tab, references tab, search help column.
If you find another way to do this without an access key, please let us know.

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

Hi Pradeep,
Please have a look into the below site which might be useful

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

SEARCH HELP FOR STANDARD SAP DATA ELEMENT AFNAM

Hello All,
Is there any possibility for adding a search help for the standard SAP field AFNAM.
Thanks in Advance!
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
You can APPEND your own search help to an SAP field that has search help defined. This is similar to APPENDing fields to an SAP table.
You can also attach the search help to a field on a screen, i.e. limit the scope to that single screen, but this would still require a modification to the system, and hence, an access key.
Hence if you want to attach search help to the standard SAP field, then you will need access key for that.
If the access key will be available then you can attach your search help to the standard SAP field.

Assign search help for a screen field in standard program?

Hi All,
Is there any other way to assign search help to a standard SAP screen field? (to be precise i want to assign search help to Recipient field in table control of components tab in transaction IW32/IW31)
I know we can do this by assigning search help through screen painter (by changing standard program, which is my last option).
Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated.

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.

Adding search Help - In the transaction MIGO for the Field WEMPF.

Hi All,
In the Transcation MIGO there is a field - Good Recipient ( WEMPF ) -this does not have any F4 help.
Now i need to create a search help for this field.
Can any one suggest me how to proceed.
I am thinking about -- creating a search help - and assigning it to a data elemet(WEMPF) of that field.
is this a right way. if so please guide me the steps to do.
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.

SRM Portal - Search help for a custom field

Hi,
I have added a custom field to the SRM Portal (5.0) shopping cart, by adding the field to structures INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC.
However, I need to filter the search help for that custom field, based on values & relationships stored in a Z table.
Is this possible? How? Please help.
Thank You.

Currently, my idea would be to create a search help for the custom field & filter the values in a search help exit. However, would I be able to get other field values (standard) from SRM into my search help exit?

PCUI 4.0, Search Help Required for New field

Hi everyone
I am working in CRM 4.0 Sales Order application
We created a new field in CRM sales Order in Header level in SAP GUI through EEWB.
The search help for the new field is working fine in SAP GUI. We want to add the same field with F4 help functionaliity in PCUI as well.
The field has been added in structure CRMT_BSP_SLS_OD1_General. It also shows domain value for the field however Origin of input field ie empty
The field has been added in PCUI and is successfully showing data inputted in SAPGUI
However we need search help functionality for the field
i tried these two steps
1) i checked on domain value checkbox and changed the field from input to dropdown. However the dropdown is empty in PCUI. Whenever i check box domain values for some field then all the possible values in SPA GUI are displayed in PCUI, however this is not working here.
2) I put Value_table in F4 of the field
This is also throwing up empty values
Am i missing something in this case
Please let me know how to go about it
TIA
Asad

Hi Frederic
Thanks for your response
I am not sure what is meant by regenerating the field group in this case
I added the entries for my view in the field group and generated the layout of the field group (If this is what you mean)
The field is working fine. I am able to save values to the field and able to see values saved in GUI.
I haven't linked search help of the field in PCUI
I am not sure how to go about it.
I used the data element in the structure for the field.
The data element has Domain entry in Entry Help/Check of the structure
If i check the Domain Value checkbox in my field group then the domain values should be available in dropdown if the field is dropdown
However i am not able to see the possible values of the field (It is present in SAP GUI)
Does something else needs to be done in this case
TIA
