Creating Match Codes

Dear All,
Please suggest me the steps and necessary settings to Created a Match Code.
I have to create a Match Code for the field Tax Number 1 in the Vendor Master.
Thanks in Advance,
Archana.

Hi ARCHANA,
IF YOU WANT SEARCH HELP BASED ON MULTIPLE THING THEN YOU HAVE TO GO FOR COLLECTIVE SEARCH HELP WHERE YOU LIST ALL YOUR ELEMENTARY SEARCH HELPS
LIKE IN HERE
VENDOR BY COMANY,VENDOR BYCUSTOMER ETC ARE ELEMENTARY SEARCH HELPS
Vendor if you see the Search Help, it gives you the option for Vendor by Customer, Vendors by COmpany Code etc etc.
THEN YOU CREATE A COLLECTIVE SEARCH HELP WHERE YOU GIVE ALL YOUR ELEMTARY SEARCH HELP.
SI IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS LIKE
Vendor by Customer, Vendors by COmpany Code ,VENDOR BY TAX NUMBER1
GO TO SELL CREATA ASEARCH HELP ZTEST
GIVE SOME SHORT DESC
THEN IN SELECTION METHOD GIVE THE TABLE I.E LFA1
THEN UNDER SEARCH HELP PARAMETER
GIVE
LIFNR SELECT IMPORT EXPORT LPOS 1 SPOS 1 AND PRESS ENTER
BELOW THAT
STCD1 LPOS2 SPOS 2 AND THEN PRESS ENTER
SAVE IT.
tHEN FIND THE COLLECTIVE SEARCH FOR VENDOR FIELD AND JUST THIS TO IT.

Hi
In Older SAP versions Match codes are used, now they are replaced by SEARCH HELPs
there 2 types of search helps
Elementary and Collective
see the doc and create accordingly
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 ..

Collective search help Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
A Collective search help provides alternative search
Paths by combining elementary search helps.
Only one search help can be attached to a field, table or data element. Several search paths are therefore attached with a collective search help.
A collective search help also has interface parameters like
an elementary search help.
Like an elementary search help, a collective search help has an interface of IMPORT and EXPORT parameters with which the search help exchanges data. Using this interface, the collective search help can be attached to fields, tables and data elements exactly like an elementary search help.
Parameter assignment needs to be done for each of the
Included search helps.
When you define a collective search help, there are no components for describing the dialog behavior and data selection; instead the included search helps are listed here. You must assign the parameters of the collective search help to the interface parameters of the included search help for each inclusion.
User may choose the tab and thus the elementary
search maethod.
When we execute the search help SCUSTOM, we are confronted with a dialog which gives us an option of either restricting
By 1)Search for customer according to booking
2)Search for customer according to name.
These are effectively the elementary search helps (SCUSTOM_BOOK and SCUSTOM_NAME) which have been included in the collective search help SCUSTOM.
HOT KEY
The hot key is used to select the elementary search help from the collective search help and to enter the restrictions in the dialog box for restricting values directly from the entry field. If the user often searches for values using the same search help, this procedure can save time.
Steps to create a Collective Search Help
1)Enter the search help name and click on create.
2)Choose Collective search help radio button option as the search help type.
3)Enter the search help parameters.
4)Instead of the selection method, we enter the included
search helps for the collective search help.
5)We need to assign parameters for each of the included
search helps.
6)Complete the parameter assignment by clicking on the push button
7)Collective search help offers the user to obtain F4 help
using any of the included search helps.

Match code for Vendor Master Data on PAN

Hi
Vendor match code will work only if the name are identical. But for the same vendor, user create multiple vendors.
For Ex: If the vendor name is ABC Private Limited, User puts different names like ABC Pvt Ltd, ABC P Ltd, etc.
Hence the match code check is over ridden.
For that reason, i want check on the basis of PAN number.
There is no field for PAN number in match codes field.
Please suggest how it can be maintained

Hi ,
Use the exit SAPMF02K , which is specially ment for vendor master data .
Cheers ,

Thanks,

Well Gopi.. as per your requirement no need to use collective search help.
I guess you have three fields in selection-screen,out 3 fields you have two fields contains search help.
Create your user defined search help BWTAR ..
Check the below links for creation search help :

Possibility of giving match code for Manufacturer in Equipment Master

Hi -
We can have a field exit on fieler HERST of Equipment Master.
Is there any possibility of giving a match code on this filed? so that we can maintain a table for manufacturer and user can select any one entry from this table.
We do have activated filed exit for manufacturer check, but need to further restrict the entry so that there is uniformity of entry maintained in this field.
Kindly advice.

hi narendar,
some information :
In addition to the above mentioned exit we have also created a custom match code for this field in one of our project ... the exit gets triggerred whenver user hits enter and the value entered here is used in selection criteria that displays the custom popup window ... the data is picked from vendor master table the selection createria we used was vendor name and description and vendor acount group MNFR - for manufacturers would be defaulted and displayed.So you can go with creating a custom match code which is invoked whenever user selects F4...

Match Code for LFA1-KONZS

Hi all,
I need a match code for the field LFA1-KONZS... it should appears on XK03 transaction for example.
The idea is to create a new Z table and after fill this table, the values of them should appears as a search help into the LFA1-KONZS.
This Z table should have the fields:
KONZS type KONZS (data element)
DESCR type Char 50
I tried to modify the domain (KONZS) and insert the Z table on the option VALUE TABLE on the tab VALUE RANGE.
But it doesn't works.
The other thing is that these two fields should accept blank values... but I think for this will need one of these fields as a key, is that correct?
Manys thanks for all!
Ricardo

Hi,
Create a search help for the Z table, and then you need change the SI_LFA1 structure (ask the BASIS team for an access key) field KONZS.
In the tab ENTRY HELP/CHECK, you specify the CHECK TABLE and the SEARCH HELP for the field KONZS.
And then test it into the SE16 transaction.

Match code objects

Hi all
can any one let me know about the match code objects??
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
For many entry fields, but not all, SAP provides a search function called a Matchcode. Matchcodes allow you to select a value from a list or search for a value by categories of data if there are many possibilities.
Types of Matchcodes
Matchcodes fall into three basic categories:
1) Short list or hit list
The values are listed on one screen. For longer lists, you may need to scroll down to see all the values.
2) Restrict Value Range
Many entries are available for the field. A number of tabbed screens with different categories display so that you can enter your search criteria.
3) Calendar search
A calendar-type dialog box is displayed so that you can select day, month, and year. This is used in date fields such as invoice posting date.
Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.
Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.
A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:
You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.
You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.
A search help can be created in ABAP Dictionary ( tcode se11 )
Create a new search help (say myHelp) , choose Elementary search help (simple one), select Definitions tab, enter the table name(say myTable) in "Text Table" text box.
Then enter the column to be used (say myField) for this help in search help parameter, choose Import/Export, give Lpos as 1, and activate. ( You can add more columns from the same table here).
In report, code as
parameter p1 like myTable-myField matchcode object myHelp.
when you execute this report, p1 will have a f4 help enabled. The help list will have all values from myTable for field myField.
You can do this in SE11 where you have an option for the same

Match code for in ME21N

Hi,
How can I do for activating a match code with data from "Z" table in field EKKN-WEMPF?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is possible. We can extend an existing standard collective search help using append search help option.
Please goto se11 & input the standard search help name (in your case, it is MBAN_C) in the serach help option & display it. Press the menu GOTO->Append search help. You will get a pop-up and there you can create the new seach help as per your requirement.
Hope, you know well how to create the search help. Please check with the below link if you don;t know:
