BEX problem: F4 help to filter values of F4 value list at query execution

Question

Hi all,
description of the problem we face:
at query execution the selection pop-up appears and "ask" for values. To select those values I try the F4 button and receive a long list of e.g. vendors. (Our vendors are compounded to a special characteristic due to several sources.) To select now several individual values from the list I choose the filter button and try to shorten the list by searching with values of the atributes, here by 0NAME of the vendor. From the result shown I choose one value compounded to a unique value of the special characteristic, there are values for vendors which are the same, but  with different compound values and of course different meanings.
When I mark one vendor value shown with his compounded value in front of the row, I expect the compounded value will be transferred to the selection pop-up too, but it won't!!
Only the vendor is transferred, so the result of the query shows more information then wanted.
Any solutions for this?
Thank you in advance

Hi Guido,
I dont know any direct solution to your problem, a workaround is
May be add a variable on the Special characterstics, and ask users to enter the Special character also along with your Vendor Code.
As while selecting the vendor user already know special charater value, then can just enter it in Selection screen and restrict the output.
Thanks
