Enabling Hot Keys during Order Processing
Is there a way that Hot Keys can be created and assigned so that during order processing a user can "jump" from screen to screen?
For example, if the user was on the Item Text Tab and wanted to go to the Additional Data B Tab, is there a way to enable a Hot Key/Command to allow this in a single step?
I know it's possible to scroll through the screen layout to get to Additional Data B or use the menu path. However, this request is specifically regarding enabling functionality to move to specific screens through a single command.
Thanks.
Hi,
The following Keys can used for the navigation
F3 --> Back
Shift + F3 --> Ecit
F12--> Cancel
CTRL + / --> Comand field
CTRL + F1--> Display to change
CTRL+ F4 --> Change to Display
Also ALT key can be used for fast navigation. The first alpabet of the every word on the top of the screen is highlighted by _ so use the ALT + character to go to that screen

Pages gone missing during order process
Very strange happenings! I created a photo book. It followed one of the themes that was provided. When I selected BUY BOOK, it went through the process and it deleted a couple of the pages! Now the end of my book has a caption that makes no sense because one of the pictures relevant to the caption is missing. Why would this happen?
How many pages were in the book? You can contact Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ and tell them about the problem. They have been very good at making amends for problem books. Be sure to preview the book as Larry pointed out before reordering. I always do a Print to PDF of the book so I have a permanent record of the book before ordering.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
I would like to know if it is possible to enable hot keys in a IWDTable UI element to move the cursor to say next row of the table from the current row on press of a hot key.

Account posting keys involves for process of third party order
hi
pls tell me the process of third party order and whos account stock will be debited and tell me the account posting keys involves in this process and how it operates
regards
Ram
Edited by: Ian Wong on Aug 13, 2008 7:06 PMTHIRD PARTY SCENARIO
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
Process Flow
The processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally, can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
Automatic third-party order processing
If a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
Manual third-party order processing
In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
When you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
You process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
Billing Third-Party Orders
If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
Process Flow
During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.
Goods receipt will be posted when ever the vendor ships the goods to our customer.
We will do this transaction in SAP using MIGO.
Invoice receipt is done when the Vendor sends us the invoice.. ( I.e Billing ).
It can be done using MIRO.
THe above two steps are standard and manual. There are many other ways that the actual process can happen. If the client follows EDI standards then the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt can be done through IDOCs automatically.

Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1) After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always following a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procurement type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurement ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to configure the item category determination
Order type + item cat Group + Usage + High level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevant for billing indicator as F
step 4)
The schedule line category for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requisition order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requisition.

SAP R/3 to External System RFC issue during Sales Order Processing
Hi Experts,
We have one Peculiar issue in our SAP R/3. Request you to help me in resolving this.
Order Processing:
During Sales Orders Processing, for every line item a RFC is being initiated from SAP R/3 to an external system called Trilogy Pricer to get the Pricing data.
Trilogy Pricer sends the Pricing data to SAP R/3 and the respective Orders are being processed in SAP R/3.
Current Issue:
The issue we are facing is that, once the Pricing data is sent to SAP R/3, Trilogy Pricer expects an acknowledgement (RFC_OK) from SAP R/3 in order to release the RFC connection. Intermittently, Trilogy Pricer is not receiving this or any kind of acknowledgement from SAP R/3 causing the connection to hang which is causing several problems.
For example:
On every business day, there will be 50,000 Sales orders.
So, 5 or 10 sales orders are getting hanged every day.
We tried to simulate this issue in Dev and Stage environments by processing 30,000 to 40,000 sales orders.
But we were unsuccessful, which means all the RFC connections were being closed as the external system is able to get the acknowledgements for all those orders from SAP R/3.
We are having this problem only in Prod.
Any thoughts to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Advance thanks for your great help.
Thanks and Regards,

Problem of Missing parts during the Process Order release
Hi
For a Make to Order strategy, I have run MRP for a sales order which resulted in planned order for the material. But when I try to convert the Planned Order to Process Order, I am getting error Parts are missing during the availabilty check even though the components are available in the stock.
But when I create a Process Order manually, I am not facing the problem of missing parts as stock for components are available in stock.
Please advice why I am facing the problem with Planned Orders which are created via MRP.
Regards
BrijeshDear all,
If we set the Individual requirement (1) in MRP4 view of the material master for the component, the system will not consider the plant stock and it will give the message like Parts are missing during the Process Order process even though the plant stock is exists for the component.
So I would like to where in customization you define this?
--> To not consider the plant stock if individual req is set (1)
--> To consider the plant stock if collective req is set (2)
Kindly advice,
Regards,
Brijesh -
Deactivate automatic transfer order during PO process
hi
After transfer order ,system automatically confirmation of transfer order .i need to manual confirmation, I dont want Automatic
transfer order confirmation during PO process.
i deactivate confirmation in warehouse number,storage type, movement type. but again its happened the transfer order confrimation
with regard
dineshCheck again in OMLX both indicators are removed. If you are still facing the issue then you may need to check any enhancement done for this purpose to override the configuration.
Or check you are using any special Movement indicator to directly putaway the material bypassing the TR & TO. Check WM view 1 for special mvt indicator
Please refer the prerequesiste for the TO confirmation. If you remove the prerequisites it should work fine. But it is not advisable to remove the Confirmation required indicator at storage type level

Consumption during the processing time of the production order
Which adjustments must be made in the material master for the calculation of the lot size in the MRP run, that the consumption of the material during the processing time of the production order is considered for the calculation of the lot size.
Hi ,
You have to judiciously indicate the re order point in the material master( the re-order point is the sum of saftey stock and consumption during replenishment lead time).
How ever , this does not in any way influence the lot size , but only influence the no of lots i.e the procurement proposals. The lot size is determined by the lot sizing procedure selected by you , depending on various factors like agrrements with your vendor , optimum lot sizes to reduce the cost of procurment and storages etc.
You can refer to the following url for details on lot size :http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fe/819b9f643b11d3b4e40004ac160649/frameset.htm
and for details about re order point :

Invalid migration key during DMO pre-processing
Hi experts,
I'm using DMO to upgrade and migrate my current system to HANA. I have encountered error during pre-processing phase which is caused by invalid migration key entered during the initial configuration steps.
I'm just wondering if there's any workaround (eg. config file which can be edited etc.) so that the tool will capture the new migration key, instead of having to reset the upgrade?
Thanks,

My customer is bright bar manufacturer,They just buy the steel bar & process it & sell it to the customer.So there is only one RAW MATERIAL.
Their all the activities are mainly based on raw material.So customer wants.....when we enter the finished good system should check the RM stock,based on RM STOCK,sytem should do the availability check...& confirm the delivery date
I have mapped customer requirement,after modifying item category & assignment......
Sales BOM explosion & delivery group is maintained for header material.availability check is on at component level & header level.So now system consider the raw material stock & it conform the dates when i do availability check combinely.

Document currency and exchange rate processing question during order entry
Hi Gurus,
I have an issue where all our price records are stored in currency USD. When we take an order for a country that requires pricing to be in an alternate currency, the document currency is changed during order entry. This results in any price condition records retrieved through the condition techique to get converted correctly per the exchange rate. However we have conditions that are calculations off of the conditions retrieved using condition formulas. For example we have a condition which represents 90% of our list price. List price is retrieved in USD as 10.00 USD and converted to alternate currency 63.40 TTD with an exchange rate of 6.34, but our calculation dollar value remains in USD but displays the alternate currency as 9 TTD, should be 57.06 TTD . We are using standard pricing formulas. I know I can call a conversion function within my formula to get it right, however, is this correct system behavior? I expected standard SAP to convert all price results leveraging exchange rate into document currency. Any guidance will be appreciated.
MattHi,
I went through the problem and still feel that there is somethign wrong in the routine which is used. You can confirm this by removing the routine from the condition type in the PP, and manually entering the value for the c.type in SO in USD and then check if the value is coming correctly in document currency. If the translation is happening for one condition type correctly and not correctly for another condition type, it should be the issue only with the routine.
Pls check the scenario without the routine and check once and accordingly update the situation. -
what is the use of hotkey in elementary search helps...how to use this in elementary search helps...can anybody send any navigations on these ..
Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Other Options
Assign a hot key: If the search help is to be accessed with a hot key, you must enter a one-place ID in the Hot key field. All the elementary search helps contained in a collective search help should have different short cuts.
Assign a search help exit: In exceptions, you might have to change the standard flow defined by the search help with a search help exit. In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
Test the search help: You can test the flow of an input help defined by the elementary search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .
See also:
Example for Search Helps
Each customer of a carrier (see Flight Model) or of a travel agency has a customer number. You want to find a search option for this customer number.
The user must be offered two different search paths.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using the customer data, such as the name and address.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings.
You can provide the required search option by creating a collective search help SCUSTOM. Two elementary search helps SCUSTOM_NAME (for searching with the customer data) and SCUSTOM_BOOK (for searching with the existing bookings) are created for the actual search paths. These elementary search helps are included in the collective search help.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_NAME
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using the name and address (street, city, country). All this data is contained in table SCUSTOM. Table SCUSTOM must therefore be selected as the selection method of the elementary search help.
You now have to decide which fields of the selection method are needed for the input help process. These are the fields that should appear either in the dialog box for restricting values or in the hit list.
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict values with the customers name and address, i.e. the fields for the street, city and country. These fields as well as the customers number (the information to be found must always be in the hit list) should appear in the hit list. The fields ID, NAME, STREET, CITY and COUNTRY of table SCUSTOM must be included in the search help as parameters.
The parameter ID is declared to be an import parameter. A pattern entered in the corresponding field of a screen template can therefore be used directly for the value selection. Restrictions for the other parameters of the search help must be entered in the dialog box for value selection.
All the parameters of the search help are declared to be export parameters. As a result, all the parameters of the hit list can be returned to the screen template if the corresponding fields are available there.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_BOOK
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings. The flight data for the booking (flight number, date of flight, city of departure, city of arrival) and the name of the customer should be used for the search here. This data is distributed on the tables SBOOK (bookings), SCUSTOM (name) and SPFLI (cities of departure and arrival). The following graphic shows the relationship between the relevant tables, that is the existing foreign key relationships.
In this case a database view SCUS_BOOK must be created on these three tables (see Example for Views) as selection method. The tables in the view (join) are linked as defined by the existing foreign key relationships (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition).
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict the search for booking data with the carrier ID, customer name, city of departure and city of arrival The flight date and of course the customer number should also be displayed in the hit list. Fields CARRID, FLDATE, CUSTOMID, NAME, CITYFROM and CITYTO of view SCUS_BOOK must be included in the elementary search help as parameters of the search help.
The parameter CUSTOMID is declared to be an import parameter. All the parameters of the search help are export parameters.
Collective Search Help SCUSTOM
The two elementary search helps are now included in the collective search help. You must now allocate the parameters of the elementary search helps to the parameters of the collective search help.
The parameter ID of the collective search help is marked as an import parameter. All the parameters are export parameters. The values can thus be copied from the hit list to the screen template.
Attaching the Search Help
In order to be able to use the search help SCUSTOM in screen templates, the attachment of the search help (see Attaching Search Helps with Screen Fields) must be defined.
Attaching to the Check Table SCUSTOM
The search help should be available for all the fields that are checked against table SCUSTOM. The search help therefore must be attached to table SCUSTOM. The search help parameters must therefore be assigned to the key fields of table SCUSTOM.
The parameter ID of search help SCUSTOM is here assigned to the field ID of table SCUSTOM in this field assignment. No assignment is possible for all other parameters of the search help (NAME, CITY and COUNTRY) since table SCUSTOM does not contain this information as key fields.
Attaching to a Field of Table SCUSTOM
In order that the search help is available when the field SCUSTOM-ID is directly copied to the input template, you have to attach the search help to this field.
With this type of attachment, all the parameters of the search help can be assigned to the corresponding fields of the table.
Structure of an Elementary Search Help
An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help. You can define the following components of this flow in the search help:
where does the data displayed in the hit list come from (selection method)
what information should be displayed in the dialog box for value selection and in the hit list (search help parameters)
what field contents can be taken into account for hit list selections and which values in the hit list can be returned to the screen fields (search help parameters)
what dialog steps should be executed in the input help (dialog behavior)
Selection Method
The possible input values displayed for a field in the hit list are determined at runtime by database selection.
If all the data required in the hit list comes from one single table, you only have to select this table (or a projection view on this table) as selection method. If there is a text table for the table, its fields are also available in the input help. A table entry is linked with the corresponding text by the existing foreign key.
If the data needed in the hit list comes from more than one table, you must link these tables with a view (database view or help view). This view must be defined as the selection method.
If the underlying tables are client-specific, the client field must be contained in the view. Otherwise selection for the input help would be for all clients.
Search Help Parameters
A search help has an interface consisting of parameters. These parameters define the fields of the selection method that should be used in the input help.
A parameter of the search help must correspond to each field in the dialog box for value selection and to each field of the hit list. The parameters are copied from the corresponding selection method, that is they always have the same name as the corresponding field of the selection method.
If the search is restricted with a parameter of the search help, this is used in the data selection for formulating a WHERE condition for the field of the selection method with the same name. Vice versa, the parameters of the search help are assigned the contents of the fields of the selection method having the same name.
The search help should not contain any parameters for the clients. In the input help, selection is automatically in the logon client of the user.
A data element must be assigned to each search help parameter, that is a type is always defined for the search help parameters.
A search help can contain further parameters that do not correspond to any field of the selection method. This is normally only necessary if the standard flow of the input help described by the search help still has to be modified by with a search help exit.
Import and Export Parameters
When an input help is called, the entries that the user already made in the input template are taken into consideration. For example, if a user calls the input help for the flight number and already specified the carrier, of course only the numbers of flights of this carrier should be offered.
On the other hand, if the user selects one row of the hit list, more than one field of the input template might have to be filled with data from the selected row of the hit list. For example, if the flight number is obtained from the hit list, the city of departure and the destination should also be returned in the screen template.
The interface of a search help defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned in the input template.
A parameter of a search help can be classified as:
Import parameters: Parameters with which context information from the processed input template (screen) may be copied to the help process.
Export parameters: Parameters with which values from the hit list may be returned to the input template.
A parameter can simultaneously be an input and an export parameter. A search help can also contain parameters that are neither import nor export parameters. Such parameters could be required for the internal input help process, for example.
When you attach a search help, you must define where the import parameters of the search help get their values from and the fields in which the contents of the export parameters are returned. See also Value Transport for Input Helps.
Description of the Online Behavior
The online behavior defines the steps executed in the input help process and the structure of the hit list and dialog box for value selection.
The dialog type defines whether or not the dialog box for value selection should be displayed. If you want to skip the dialog box for value selection, the hit list is displayed directly after calling the input help.
When you define an elementary search help, you can define how the dialog box for value selection and the hit list should look. For example, you can define the position of a parameter in the dialog box for value selection here. The column position in which the values of a parameter are displayed in the hit list can also be defined here
Please reward points..
