Thanks for very helpful reply. After implementing the suggested SAP note, I am able to see the getter and setter methods.
So one of my problem has got solved with your kind help:)
As per your another suggestion,I have created the enhanced fields without the search help from AET in the node BTAdminI with names Plant(ZZPLANT) and Storage Location(ZZStoarge_Loc).
Now I am facing below problem:
Since Plant needs to autopopulated by Storage Location (search Help ZOFI_SHLP_STORAGE_LOC),So I need to Implement Getter setter method.
I have written below code into Get_V_ZZStorage_Loc Method:
method GET_V_ZZSTORAGE_LOC.
DATA:
    ls_map    TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,
    lt_inmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
    lt_outmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
    ls_map-context_attr = 'ZZSTORAGE_LOC'.
    ls_map-f4_attr      = 'STORAGE_LOC'. (Storage_loc is the parameter defined in search help)
    APPEND ls_map TO: lt_inmap, lt_outmap.
CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor TYPE cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    EXPORTING
      iv_help_id        = 'ZOFI_SHLP_STORAGE_LOC1'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_callback
      iv_input_mapping = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap.
endmethod.
But its not working.Should I write some code in Get_P_XX or some other method also?
Kindly suggest .

"Structure search" and "free search" in input help

I need to have an input help for my PERNR field, right now i am using search help PREMN and calling FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST inorder to display the input help. But, in addition to this, i wnat the tabs "Structure search " , "Free search" to be displayed in teh input help pop up screen.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks,
Vasuki

Hi Vasuki,
Just write it this way
parameters:p_pernr type pa0001-pernr matchcode object PREM.
Now once you hit f4 help. The search help will be displayed with all tabs, once you choose the free search tab the respective screen will be displayed.Now if you want to return to other tabs you must choose the button in bottom of the free search screen which is in between "Green tick mark" and "Close button".

Input help for cost center & WBS element not working

Hi ALL
We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".
I even applied SAP note 746788 for cost center search help.
Can you tell me if I have missed any config settings?
Thanks in advance
Jagdish

Hi,
Did you managed the transactional RFC destination in the customizing (where you define all your log. systems it is an additional field in the table control).

Selection from Input help different from PA30 IT0014

Hi Guys,
Need advise as i'm trying to get the same result data from input help in IT0014 (wage type). I'm using normal selection from table but the result set are diffrent.
I'm noticed more value appeared than the input help in IT0014 PA30.
I checked on the input help seems no parameter passing.
Attached is the screen for input help .
Brgds
Badz

Finally after few debugging the logic and google searching .
The answer is because in they wage type appeared in the search help already filtered by employee group and subgroup also personnel area.
So each user will have different search result/input help based on their group or pers area.

BEx Variable Input Help (F4) Maximum Number of Rows

Hi Experts,
We using Bex 3.x version. Now, the user is asking to change the maximum number of rows (by default 500, for my case) to 1000. (While executing the workbook, on the variable pop-up screen where we can search for input help (F4) values). For surely, there is some global setting needs to be corrected but not sure. I have checked in T-code: SPRO and some of the threads but not get the apt solution.
Could you please share us your inputs/experiences as how can we increase maximum number of rows in the input help.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Best Regards
Venkat...

Hello Venkat,
Is there is a way to setup that, you will find into this KBA Article (SAP Note):
> 1565809 - Settings for BW query F4 help
This is a really good documentation about how F4 works and how to setup the configurations and where you have to do that.
Kind Regards,

How to build custom search using API - 10.1.2

Hi,
I have been looking through some documentation and i can't seem to find how to use the API in portal 10.1.2 to create a custom search. Any help or samples would be appreicated.
Thanks

The Search API is a new feature in 10.1.4. In older version a custom search portlet was provided, no API.
 
You can build a search engine yourself in Portal 10.1.2 by using the Oracle Text API. The search engine should implement security however which can be quit difficult to accomplish. It is not impossible however.
 
In most cases it is has less impact to upgrade to release 10.1.4 then to build a search engine yourself. My advice would be to install 10.1.4 on a test system and play around with the new search API. You can then decide whether it is worthwhile to upgrade to 10.1.4 where you profit from several nice new features.

Help needed

hi, Jkuma,
we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
our conclustions are:
1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
how this is helpful hint for you.

Custom Search Help for Functional Area of Cost Centre(KS01/KS02)

Hi,
I need to implement a custom search help and custom enhancement for the field Functional Area in Basic Data tab of Cost Centre Create/Change(KS01/KS02) transactions. Details of the requirement are as below:
1. There will be a custom relation for the Cost Centre category and Functional Area which was maintained thru a SAP standard table TKA05 and a custom table.
2.When the relation to Cost Centre category and Functional Area is a one to one it exist in the TKA05 and if its one to many it will be maintained in the custom table.
3. The requirement is when the Cost Center to Functional area is maintained in table TKA05(One to One) in this case the corresponding Functional Area needs to be populated automatically after entering the cost centre and pressing a enter key by user.
4.When the Cost Centre Category and Functional area does not exist in table TKA05 and existing in custom table(One to Many) in this case the F4 should be enabled for user selection with the list of Functional area values corresponding to the cost centre category entered that are maintained in the custom table.
As per the functionality provided by SAP the input help(F4) of the field Functional area in Cost Center does not have any relation with Cost Centre Category. The existing F4 is from the Value Table(TFKB) attached to the domain of FKBER.
Please provide your valuable inputs to implement the above requirement. Your input will be rewareded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Prasad.

kalyani,
i can see your requirement in below way..
as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH INTERFACECONTROLLER
so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

Problem in creating help input for custom infotype creation

Hi,
I had the task of creating a custom infotype for storing recruitment test result.
I created it using the following structure:
Component ______________Data Element
TEST_TYPE______________ZTEST_TYPE
TEST_DATE
LOCATION
PIC_____________________RFPER
EX_PIC
TEST_RESULT____________ZRESULT_TYPE
STATUS_________________ZSTATUS_TYPE
OTHER_POSITION_________PLANS
Now for the component other_position for the entry help i use is H_T528B with check table T528B. My objective is, when the infotype is accessed through pa30 and user is inputting the entry, when they press F4 on the inputbox for other_position, help search should show the list of all position within the system. But rather than that, the input help display such message:
No values selected
Maintain entries?
Yes No Cancel
When I choose yes, the input help suddenly prompt me to "Choose customizing project" which i believe is from SPRO.
How do I fix this problem so that when I press f4, the help will shows all position within the system.
Thanks

Custom Search Help in Standard Transaction?

Hi,
is possible to tie a custom search help to an input field of a standard transaction?
If yes, what would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks.
/ Elvez

Hi
Yes it is! But you have to change a std object!
If you want to use your search help only in that trx, you should update the input/output field by screen painter and add your search help.
If you want your search is to be used in all trxs use that field, you should update the dictionary structure where that field is defined or his data element.
