Both material groups and material types in search while creating SC

Question

Hi Guys,
While creating a shopping cart ,when we are searching for materials that have been replicated in SRM we can search the material based on various parameters like Product ID ,Category ID etc.In SRM the Category ID is normally the material group.Now we want to search the material based on both,material group as well as material type.But i can have only one of these as my category.2 hierarchies R3MATCLASS and R3PRODSTYP exist in the system.But i do i make it work so that i can see both the material type as well as material group while selecting materials to shop.Is it possible??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pawan

Hi,
What do you want to see exactly in the Selection screen fro the Product search???In the Std screen,you already have the field called PRODUCT TYPE where you can enter '01'(hierarchy) and  '02'(Services).
But if you want the field HIERARCHY in the selection screen,then you need to modify the Std search help exit(BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_PRODUCT_GEN) attached to the Std Product search help(BBPH_PRODUCT)  for  the SHOP tarscn
You will need to create a Z search help exit(Z FM) and attach that to the Std Product search help given above.In the Z exit,you need to write the logic to display the reqd fields in the Selection screen.
