Configuring the Enhanced material search in sales order

I am trying to add our own fields to the extended material search help scren in VA02.
- From the config, logistics-generail/material master/enhanced material search/define search parameters - and in here added the custom fields, whihc happend to be 'Z' fields that we have added to the material characteristics.
- the new fields then appear on the extended material seach screen in VA02, but they don;t retain the data inputtted, or work in the actual search
- AS part of this work we have also configured SES Material Master Business Object BUS1001006 - and setup our own 'Z@ class, whihc adds these 'Z' attributes to the material search help. 
- THis all works on the materials search help, but not on the extended material help screen
I have also looked at the BADIs part of the enhanced search help, but these only appear to be called once the results have been extracted.  So can anyone give any gudience on how we get the new fields in this screen actually working..

The problem was simple.  The table include used field names ZZ, where as all the other besoke fields and data elements were just Z, so once we sync'd everything it magically worked

  • Enhanced Material search - more than 100 results?

    Is there any way to return more than 100 results in the enhanced material search?
    Thanks!

    Yes this possible - th'o config.
    When you do your initial set-up for Configure & Activate Enhanced Search with creation -
    > (SPRO>SD>Basis Func-->Add. Func. for Mat) you can specify the search max entries. In your current system, looks like it is defaulted as 100 for that Sales Order Type. You can try changing this & it should work.

  • Querying characteristics in Enhanced Material Search

    Hi Glen,
    I'm glad you are interested in the Enhanced Material Search. I am the solution manager responsible for this function. Your requirement is well known, but so far I don't see a simple, standard worthy solution to allow a search for (hundreds or even thousants of) characteristic values while keeping the user interface simple when selecting or displaying the desired value(s).
    Maybe you have an idea for an appropriate customer specific solution that fits your own requirements. Therefore you can use some Business Add-Ins to create customer specific search criteria (see my blog /people/ingo.woesner/blog/2009/03/05/enhanced-material-search-with-creation--part-4-how-to-create-new-search-criteria-wo-modification). Using the badi described therein you could create a new search criteria "Classicification Characteristics " and select specific characteristics. Of course you have to add all characteristics to the SES business object BUS1001006 before, as you have mentioned.
    More Business Add-ins for various topics are mentioned in my other blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/12999. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
    I hope this brings you a step further. In case you need more guidance, you can give me a call on +49 6227 771737, and we will then find a time for a webinar/conference call. I will try to get a developer invited as well.

    Thanks for your response, Ingo.
    Whilst I really like the current design for simple requirements (extend a structure, change some config and, voila!, you have new search criteria), when the requirements become more complicated, it would be nice to have more flexibility to dynamically influence which index is used to do the search. The results of the search could then just feed into the results view as per normal.
    Here are a few ideas which are based on my own situation but might be suitable and/or scalable to other situations. I haven't put too much thought into them so they may or may not be feasible.
    As mentioned in my original post, we only have a small number of variant classes for which our material variants are created. My thought it that we could create a separate index and business object class for each variant class (all the indexes would be very similar to BUS1001006 but have their own extra attributes for their own characteristics) and a dropdown field on the search view that allows you to choose the variant class via which you want to search. Changing the selection in the dropdown field would change the available search fields in the view and when the search is executed the index that corresponds to the chosen variant class would used for the search.
    I'm happy to discuss this further to refine the requirements and/or design.
    Regards

  • How to check the analysis of material determination in sales order

    hi,
    We are trying to create a sale order with material determination. Material determination analysis is on. After  switching this on  while adding a new line item, in an existing sales order, we are able to do analysis as the system itself takes us to analysis screen. But once  the document is saved, we need analysis to be done  at material determination for the determined materials  , something similar to  pricing or account determination analysis.Please help
    Regards,
    Aparna.

    Hi,
    If you drag the line item a little towards the right side, you will find a filed material entered. The one you see in the material filed on sales order over view screen is the one determined. You can as well double click and see the fields material entered and material determined.
    Is there anything else you are expecting to see as part of analysis ?

  • Function to find quantity of a material in Open sales Order in 4.5

    hi ,
    is there any function to find the total quantity of a material in open sales order for an input date in 4.5
    Regards

    I think you may find function <b>RV_BILLING_PRINT_VIEW</b> helpful. This is the function used by the standard SAP report <b>RVADIN01</b> to assemble all the information needed to print a Sales Order. The structure and table output by this function contain all the information in the header and line items of the Sales Order.
    To watch this function in action, set a break point on this function (line 1075 of RVADIN01 in my system) and print a Sales Order (SO).
    I use VF31 to print an arbitrary SO during testing.
    Your company may have altered the standard print configuration for sales orders in SAP. If so, you will need to note the output type of your test Sales Order in VF31 and use Transaction <b>V/83</b> to determine which program is being used to print that type of SO.

  • Capture u201CInstallation Chargesu201D of a material sold in Sales Order

    Hi SD Gurus,
    We have requirement to capture u201CInstallation Chargesu201D of a material sold in Sales Order. The charges are quantity based and shall be shown separately in sale order & invoice. This charge shall be treated as additional revenue (with separate revenue G/L Account) and shall be maintained as optional. If included as a condition type, we do not want the item totals of the materials to be affected by this condition.
    In the existing pricing procedure, the material price field is made mandatory. We tried to enter it as a service line item and entered the u201CInstallation Chargesu201D with a new condition type with new revenue G/L Account. But it insists for a price for the material due the mentioned configuration.
    Request your valuable suggestion in achieving this requirement.
    Regards,
    Vikrant

    Hi,
    You can achieve this functionality using the Bill of Material concept.
    Create the material and its BOM. In the BOM, include the main material and the service. (Case A)
    Also maintain an alternative BOM for the same material, the BOM being the material itself and nothing else. (CaseB)
    Make the parent item relevant for pricing and child items not relevant for pricing
    In sales order, give the main material, so the sales material and service will come.
    In Case A, maintain a condition type with a reqmt routine saying that the condition will be valid only if the BOM contains the service item. Maintain the condition record. So, if the BOM contains the material and its service, this condition type will come else it will not come.
    If you don't want to charge the service, replace the BOM of case A with the alternative BOM maintained for the material to go to case B.In case B, this extra condition type will not come. Hence only the price of the main material will come.
    Hope this helps u

  • How the system determines the Requirement type  for one sales order

    Hi,
    SAP-SD Gurus,
    Please tell me how the system determines the Requirement type  for one sales order?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sreenivas.P

    Hi,
    System follows some search criterial to determine the requirement type
    1. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.
    2. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
    3. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
    4. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.
    5. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
    6. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.
    Please check the path
    SPRO->SALES & DISTRIBUTIONS->BASIC FUNCTIONS>AVAILABILITY CHECK AND TOR->TRANSFER OF REQUIREMENTS--->DETERMINATION OF REQUIREMENT TYPE USING TRANSACTION.
    Hope it will clarify

  • Quick search in sales order

    Is it possible to change field "Material description" in Sales order (VA01) in order to search for materials directly, on the two or three letters basis
    (without F4 button)?
    Thanks.

    Hi Manuel,
    This has been system behaviour for some time (prior to SP01). SAp Support are aware of the issue but I'm not sure if it accepted as a fault & in the pipeline for fixing or not!
    The work around is to search all, then use the filter in the search form to find the Printed & Amended docs

  • Formatted Search for Sales Order

  • Error when trying to search a sales order created by other user

  • How to block material issuing after sales order invoiced?

    As the subject mentioned,  could be a possible to block material issuing since sales order invoiced, or
    in the another words, after the sales order completed?
    Or could be a possible to set sales order as closed, and then material issuing related with this sales order are
    forbidden?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Zhou Zhen

    Dear Friend
    A sales order is created say order no 10000 and for material X say 10 units this order is delivered and PGIed and invoiced and the payment too has come
    That means the order 10000 is closed
    Case 1
    Now an user goes to VA02 t code and put this order no 10000 and changes the material X qty from 10 to 12 and opens up the whole order once again
    This can be controlled by using t code OVAH choosing message class the V4 message no 083 and change from warning to error
    Case2
    But to avoid the user to add material Y to the existing order say 10000 then i think we have to go for user exit
    Because the system doesnot even throw a warning message too in case 2 (according to my knowledge) and allows another line item to be added in the same order
    But you can test it if it throws any warning message we can try to convert that error
    But in case 2 it is not happening(even warning is not there)

  • How to change material discription at sales order item level ?

    Dear Gurus,
            We have some requirement need to change material description at sales order item level , but in system it is in disable mode how to change that  into change mode in sales order item level?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Venkat

    Not possible in SAP Standard.
    Instead why not create a Customer Material Info Record in T-Code - VD51?
    Alternatively it the requirement to change the Description is only for few Sales Order then create a Text ID & Enter the Description in Text Feild. Then in Smartform program wrie a code which will check for Material Description in the Text first & if not found then take from normal material Description in Sales Order.
    But Customer Material info Record seems to be the best solution.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • Mb1b movement 453 - profit center not from material but from sales order

    Dear All,
    we have the problem that by return process from sales order stock to free stock (453 movement) we would like to have the original Profit center from sales order, but as SAP standard it moves PC from material master.
    we have implemented already oss 978159 sowie 1038490, but did not help.
    Since days we try to find an uxer exit in MM or CO!? where we could write in the correct profit center. But unfortunately PC from material master pops up at the end of the process, and the system overwrites it again and again.
    Had sy of you similair problem? can you please help with an user exit?
    Thanks,
    BB

    Hi
    I think this behaviour is correct.. Since you are moving from Sales order stock to Unrestricted stock, the PC from mat master would prevail...
    As far as I know, this behaviour is correct
