Creating a new Search Help on a standard SAP table field?

Good day, everyone!
As part of a report I am writing, the customer would like to have Search Help added to the AUFEX field in table AUFK. They would like this functionality so that when they are changing an order via t-code ko02, they can get a list of valid values to put in field AUFEX. I would like to tie it to a zTable I've created; in my zTable, I have just 2 fields: a key value (that will go into AUFEX) and a text description of the key value. This zTable is used in my report.
While I've created a Search Help on this table already for table maintenance, I've never added a custom Search Help to an existing standard SAP table field before. I've done some Googling and other searching to see what I need to know, but I've only been able to find information on Collective Search Helps. AUFEX doesn't yet have a Search Help field, so I don't think Collective Search Helps is my answer.
Is this possible? Can I add a custom Search Help to a standard SAP table field that doesn't have any Search Help linked to it yet? Is there an existing thread or guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
Thank you!

Hi
Yes u can: u can assign the search help to (A) data element livel or (B) field table livel.
After creating your search help:
A) Run SE11, insert your data element (AUFEX), press edit and insert the search help in "Search Help" area on DEFINATION tab;
B) Run SE11, insert your table (AUFK), press edit, place the cursor on your field (AUFEX) and go to GoTo->Search help->for field
But u should consider it'll mean to change a standard object for both cases: so u need to get the access key from your OSS.

Do i need to get the access key , go in change mode and add it .Will it work. Will this affect any other table if i add this search help.

Where do you want to see this seach help which transaction if it is in any custom program then you use the events for F4 or else if it is any standard transaction then there might be any collective search help which you will have to enahance. Let me know the trnaction name and field name.

Copying Batch Characteristics Value from Standard SAP Table Field

Dear Experts,
1. While creating a user-defined Batch Characteristics 'CREATED_BY' using ct04, on the Additional Data tab, I filled the following fields as follows: Table Name = MCHA, Field Name =ERNAM.
'CREATED_BY' was then assigned to a batch Class TRIMMED (of class type 022).
TRIMMED was assigned to a batch managed material ADE245DD.
After posting co15 (confirmation of production order) for material ADE245DD, the value in table MCHA & field ERNAM is automatically copied into the Batch Characteristics value field of u2018CREATED_BYu2019 for the generated batch.
2. But I am unable to achieve the same result when I create another Batch Characteristic with similar settings in the Additional Data tab as follows: Table Name = MARC, Field Name = DISPO.
After doing co15, the value stored in table MARC and field DISPO does not get copied into the Batch Characteristics value.
Please what do I need to do in Scenario 2 above to achieve the same result as in Scenario1?
Regards

Hi,
Table and field used in additional data table should be related to the object than only it will work, for e.g. MCHA and ERDAT will work if you create a characteristcis and assign it to class type Batch (022/023) because MCHA table has Batch no. as primary key,
this implies for using material specific table e.g. MARA , you should use characteristics with class type 001 (Material class) , try using with table MARC also

New Search help - Cloning DEBIX

Hi I need to create a new search help which will be a clone of standard search help DEBIX. I have to add two new feilds to the DEBIX which will be STR_SUPPL3(street 4) and LOCATION (street 5). When I copied this particualr search help and added the two fields in it , it dosent seem to allow me to get a new selection screen for it and it gives the same selection screen as DEBIX without addition of these two fields where I can input some value. I did add those two fields to my list of fields that I want on my selection yet it gives me a selection screen similar to debix. Then I tried using a database view instaed of teh search help exit used in it , this works but this made the search help case-sensitive which I dont want .
Can you please advice or suggest what I need to do so that I get a screen with fields that I want and its case-insensitiuve.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aarav

Thats right Greg < i have done exactly that way . I created a Z search help with same fields as DEBIX , added my two extra fields , removed the search help exit , created a new Z view table included those two fields there and then added this new search help in DEBI and assigned the parameters , its working fine , but as I said its case-sensitive , I want to make it case-insensitive , so that it goes by the word and not by its cases.
Please suggest as what needs to be done to accomplish this .
Thanks

Definition of new search help in report RFBILA00

Hello,
I have created a new search help which I would like to include in the selection screen of the report RFBILA00.
Does anyone know how to include a new search help in this report which can be used in the screen "Dynamic selections"?
Best regards
Peter

Try by extending collective search helps - like SAKO for SKA1-SAKNR - by appending your custom search help.
Then I think when you select GL Account description in chart or accounts it will call your custom search help inside it.

New search criteria for old (standard) node?

Is it possible to create script, which adds new search criteria for old (standard) node?
CustomSearchExtensionHandler.jsx gives example of custom search criteria for custom node. But it is not clear for me, how to add new search criteria over standard XMP fields.

Hi,
First you create your own table (with fields like Vendor No and Name), in which you wants to store your Value range for that Vendor and fill this table with all the values for that vendor(your own set of values).
Using this table create an Elementary search Help from SE11 and you can use that search help for the Vendor field where ever you use.
This works fine.

How can we create a Collective search help

Hi all sap experts,
How can we create a Collective search help on field OBJECT which allows to search tables
o ARCH_OBJ
o TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
on 2 tabs.
Thanks,
Basu

Hi
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

New search help on CRMD_ORDER locator

Hi Experts,
I have created a new search id in the search type SAL_SALES. I have copied the function group CRM_1O_LOCATOR in order to modify the logic to satisfy the customer requirements. Before doing any mkodification I have decided to test the search pressing start button and the search threw a dump. I have debugged and I have found the error....the search try to use a method of the class cl_crm_1o_locator through the instance gv_application. The problem is that gv_application is null and the exception OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED, because of accessing via 'NULL' object reference is not possible. The standard create this reference object via the constructor method of the class CL_CRM_1O_NAVIG, where call the FM CRM_1O_LOCATOR and pass this reference to variable gv_application of the function group CRM_1O_LOCATOR, and then call ascreen of my ZFunction group, thus that my own gv_appliocation is never instantiated. Anyone have dealt with this????

Hi,
First of all, I wish you a happy new year!!!!
I am going to explain you why I want create a new search Id. Really I want a search like 'General' search Id (search type 'Sales'). But I want that Status listbox shows user status instead of system status or whatever it shows. I have read that you can maintan table view CRMV_STATUS_PROC in order to add the status you want to display. But what must I do with the rest of the status I don´t want display...does it suffice marking the checkbox of display field for every status in the table?
Besides, I want to add a new column in the layout of the result table of the search. I want to add the description of the business partner from a specific partner function for every sales order. How can I achieve this?
Thank you very much for your interest.
Best Regards,

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Hello,
this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
Just to show what's my problem:
Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
All this can be done modification free by appends.
The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
But I want avoid this modification.
So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

I had to restart my mac and couldn't remember my password and had to create a new keychain, help?? i just want to stop all these pop up screens coming up now, how do i retrieve my original password?

i had to restart my mac and couldn't remember my password and had to create a new keychain, help?? i just want to stop all these pop up screens coming up now, how do i retrieve my original password?

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying? Have you gained access to your mac, but getting pop-ups about your old password? If you have access, you could always copy important files and reinstall OS X from scratch. Also you could use the Mac as an external hard drive if you have another Mac doing the same. Those are probably the easiests ways. If it was easy to just go ahead and change passwords as so, security would be an issue. How is your computer locked? Is it a filevault password, or how much do you have access?
