Issue in elementary search help.

Hi,
Facing some issue on Attaching search help directly to the screen Fields.
I have a requirement that
1> Based on a screen field, I have to filter F4 for the other fields.
2> I have to populate 2 screen elements at the same time.
Like:
In my transaction i have 3 fields :
1> PA0001-WERKS : Personnel area.
2> PA0001-PERNR : Personnel number
3> PA0001-ENAME : Employee name.
All 3 have been defined as Dictionary fields on the screen.
Now PA0001-WERKS has its on search help and i use that to select the WERKS.
Then i have to create a search help that takes this as the input and gives me a hit list showing all the personnel number ( and there name) in PA0001 table based on the screen field PA0001-werks.
When i do F4 on say Pa0001-pernr field: a hit list showing all the personnel number ( and there name) in PA0001 table.
When i select a row both PA0001-pernr and PA0001-ENAME should be filled in the screen.
Solution that i tried:
I created a elementary seach help ZSEL_PER and had the PA0001 as the selection table and had the 3 fields as the parameters:
1> WERKS as input
2> PERNR and ENAME as output.
Then i attached the search help to the srceen fields :
1> PA0001-PERNR : Personnel number
2> PA0001-ENAME : Employee name.
Now ,
a> When i do F4 my data does not get restricted as per the WERKS on the screen.
b> When i select a row both the fields on the screen dont get populated, only the field on which i did F4 ( that too always with the colomn 1 only of the hit list )..
Is this possible with elementary search help and if yes then how ? what am i doing wrong...
Thanks, Ad.

Selection Method : Table Name.

Search Help Parameter : Field Name (for which field ur doing in the table).

Next Assign the Search Help to the table or field.
SE11.
Your Table Name : Change.
Search Help Button above the fields.
Search Help name : Your search help name.
Copy.
SAVE CHECK ACTIVATE.
Now go and check to the field by F4.
Thats it.
hope this helps you.

Export parameter in elementary search help not working.

I have created an elementary search help that will display all sold-tos for entered ship-to(s). Everything works fine except that the sold-to that is selected from the hit list is not being entered into the customer field on the selection screen.
eg transaction VD03, F4 on Customer, enter import parameters VKORG VTWEG SPART and KUNN2, hit list is displayed correctly and one line selected. I expect that my export parameter KUNNR should now appear in the Customer field of VD03 but its not.
This is my elementary search help definition:
Elementary srch hlp ZDEBIC                         Active

KUNNR              x       3                  KUNNR
I suspect the problem may be with default value KUN against KUNN2, but if I put it against KUNNR, I get a message "No values for this selection" instead of my hit list.
Can anybody give me a clue as to the problem?
Thanks,
Brigitte

I just found out - I had asked my fellow ABAPer to have a look at it and he just told me that he had changed the Parameter Assignment of the Collective Search Help from the proposed one of KUNN2 C KUNNR to KUNNR C KUNNR. It seems that was necessary as well so I'm putting this in for future reference of anybody with the same problem.

Need a Function Module to call a standard Elementary Search help - DEBIK

Hi Gurus,
I need to call the standard elementary search help DEBIK in one of my screen fields. Also I need to filter the values for the Account group KTOKD to Z104 ( transshipment location customers).
Actually i do not want to copy the standard search help DEBIK to custom search help ZDEBIK and give a default value of Z104 to field KTOKD.
Also i do not want to use FM - F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST .
I want a FM which will call the search help directly . I tried using FM - FC_RVERS_SEARCHHELP but did not succeed. Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Nabanita.

Can you check both FM DDIF_SHLP_GET and 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

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 ?

What is commulative search help & what is elementary search help

plese explain me what is commulative and elementary search help

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.

Elementary Search help with distinct values. Kindly help!

Hi Experts,
I have to create a search help for Plant field. The Plant field is in a custom table YPLANT_DET. Unfortunately the plant field in this table is not unique.
So the elementary search help will show duplicate plant entries.
How to customize the elementary search help so that I get only distict values on F4 help?
KIndly help!

F4 help for Elementary Search Help in collective Search help

Hi Gurus,
I have created an elementary search help 'ZXXX' with fields Partner , KDGRP and KTEXT .For this searh help, I have created a database view for the selection method with tables BUT000 , KNVV and T151.Finally, added this elemenatry search help'ZXXX' to collective searh help BUPA.
When I press f4 on BP , I could very well see the newly created seach help 'ZXXX' in transaction BP.However, the F4 on field KDGRP is missing. I thought the SAP internally determines F4 for KDGRP based on the check table T151 in domain KDGRP but it is not happening. I did try to infulence the values in shlp-interface and shlp-fielddescr using search help exit but it does not work.
Could you help me how do I acheive the F4 help on field KDGRP which is used in an elementary search help and further more in collective search help BUPA on transaction BP.

Hi
There might be some reasons for not getting the F4 value. One reason could be the complete AUTHORISATION for shopadmin given to the user.
Please check the SHOPADMIN authorisations of the user.

Hi, difference between database view and elementary search help

hi
pl. can any one tell me the difference between
database view and elementary search help,
and help view and elementary search help,
and database view and help view.
in the output i do not see any difference.
thanx.
rocky robo

HI
An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields). If new fields are included in the table or existing fields are deleted, the view is automatically adjusted to this change.
Database view:

Standard Elementary Search help number of hits

Dear All,
I am having simple problem with the Standard Search Help "RSFISCPER".
When i display with out restrictions it shows only around 219 hits , even with restrictions it shows the same number .
How can i see all entries in the search help.
If i give selection like FisVarient K4 and period from 001/2007 to 012/2007 then it shows correctly. but if i give only K4 then all entries will not show related to K4.
I appreciate you help.
Thanks

Multiple return values in Customized elementary search help

Hello,
I have a requirement when i select the value from F4 . It should populate the more than one return values in ALV grid in different rows .
Any FM or help search exit is available to do this .
Regards,
kevin

Hi Kevin,
About your first question, for filling several fields of an ALV from a single F4 search help, I think that you should register F4 event to call the search help yourself (F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for instance), and fill the ALV fields inside your F4 handler method. If you used REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then I am not sure how you can handle F4, but you can do it using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or SALV classes. See BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP.
About the second question, for filling automatically another field in the same row in the ALV grid, it should work automatically, as for normal dynpros, i.e. the search help must have these 2 fields defined as exporting, and these 2 fields of the ALV field catalog must refer to the same DDic structure, the search help must be assigned there to the field, and fill in the 2 exporting parameters too.

Collective search help in SRM 7.0

Hello all,
Does any body has an idea why the custom elementary search helps wont get displayed in SRM7.0 When we add for a collective search help.
For ex.. BBP_BUPA* SOURCE_OF SUPPLY is the standard collective search help where we added custom search helps to it,
While upgrading we try to implement the same in 7.0 also, But theya re not at all visible in the Drop down of Preferred supplier.
I tried to check web dynpro componenet WDR_F4_COLLECTIVE method in debug mode but was unable to trace it out,
Can any body help me how can i include them to standard collective search helps in web dynpro.

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

Error while creating search help

Hi,
I am getting an error "Elementary search help without hit list is meaningless" while creating a search help,.what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Elementary search help without hit list is meaningless
Diagnosis
The flag that they should appear in the hit list is not set for any of the parameters in the elementary search help in question. An elementary search help without a hit list is meaningless because it is not possible to select a value from the set of possible values in the input help process which it describes.
System Response
The action is terminated abnormally.
Procedure
In the maintenance screen for the search help, assign at least one parameter a position in the hit list.
