Enhanced material search with creation

hi guys,
i need your support to start using the enhanced material search in SD environment.
I´ve done the settings in theconfiguration guide mention based on ECC 6.0 EHP2,
but i didnt get the button to start the search in VA01 / VA21 etc !? don´t know why.
Is there anyone having the same problem ?
Isn´t it possible to run this funktion without TREX Search Engine, do i really need
to setup a new server ?!
Looking forward for your help.
Thanks
Carsten

Querying characteristics in Enhanced Material Search

Hi Glen,
I'm glad you are interested in the Enhanced Material Search. I am the solution manager responsible for this function. Your requirement is well known, but so far I don't see a simple, standard worthy solution to allow a search for (hundreds or even thousants of) characteristic values while keeping the user interface simple when selecting or displaying the desired value(s).
Maybe you have an idea for an appropriate customer specific solution that fits your own requirements. Therefore you can use some Business Add-Ins to create customer specific search criteria (see my blog /people/ingo.woesner/blog/2009/03/05/enhanced-material-search-with-creation--part-4-how-to-create-new-search-criteria-wo-modification). Using the badi described therein you could create a new search criteria "Classicification Characteristics " and select specific characteristics. Of course you have to add all characteristics to the SES business object BUS1001006 before, as you have mentioned.
More Business Add-ins for various topics are mentioned in my other blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/12999. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
I hope this brings you a step further. In case you need more guidance, you can give me a call on +49 6227 771737, and we will then find a time for a webinar/conference call. I will try to get a developer invited as well.

Thanks for your response, Ingo.
Whilst I really like the current design for simple requirements (extend a structure, change some config and, voila!, you have new search criteria), when the requirements become more complicated, it would be nice to have more flexibility to dynamically influence which index is used to do the search. The results of the search could then just feed into the results view as per normal.
Here are a few ideas which are based on my own situation but might be suitable and/or scalable to other situations. I haven't put too much thought into them so they may or may not be feasible.
As mentioned in my original post, we only have a small number of variant classes for which our material variants are created. My thought it that we could create a separate index and business object class for each variant class (all the indexes would be very similar to BUS1001006 but have their own extra attributes for their own characteristics) and a dropdown field on the search view that allows you to choose the variant class via which you want to search. Changing the selection in the dropdown field would change the available search fields in the view and when the search is executed the index that corresponds to the chosen variant class would used for the search.
I'm happy to discuss this further to refine the requirements and/or design.

Glen

Enhanced Material search - more than 100 results?

Is there any way to return more than 100 results in the enhanced material search?
Thanks!

Yes this possible - th'o config.
When you do your initial set-up for Configure & Activate Enhanced Search with creation -
> (SPRO>SD>Basis Func-->Add. Func. for Mat) you can specify the search max entries. In your current system, looks like it is defaulted as 100 for that Sales Order Type. You can try changing this & it should work.

Configuring the Enhanced material search in sales order

I am trying to add our own fields to the extended material search help scren in VA02.
- From the config, logistics-generail/material master/enhanced material search/define search parameters - and in here added the custom fields, whihc happend to be 'Z' fields that we have added to the material characteristics.
- the new fields then appear on the extended material seach screen in VA02, but they don;t retain the data inputtted, or work in the actual search
- AS part of this work we have also configured SES Material Master Business Object BUS1001006 - and setup our own 'Z@ class, whihc adds these 'Z' attributes to the material search help.
- THis all works on the materials search help, but not on the extended material help screen
I have also looked at the BADIs part of the enhanced search help, but these only appear to be called once the results have been extracted. So can anyone give any gudience on how we get the new fields in this screen actually working..

The problem was simple. The table include used field names ZZ, where as all the other besoke fields and data elements were just Z, so once we sync'd everything it magically worked

Enhance Material Master with custom tables

Hi MM Gurus,
I would like to enhance the material master data (transactions MM01/2/3) with a new tab (screen) containing some customer fields and Z tables?
Ive been looking the follow <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/ff/516a6749d811d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm">SAP Help link</a>, Integration of New Tables in the Material Master, and SAP Note 44410, but still is not very clear to me how to achieve my goal.
Can anybody tell me all the steps that Ive to perform to do that?
Do you know any other documentation about this issue, like a how-to guide for instance, that I can use?
Thanks a lot for any help!
Alexandre

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest that you do not do this unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.
It is not a major modification but there is another more standard way to add fields to material masters and no modification or user exit is required.
Simply classify the materials and use a characteristic for each additional field you want to add.
The classification system is very flexible and very powerful and so it can easily handle complex data and interactions with other data. You can add multiple classes and so use whole groups of data. There is also a lot of standard validation as to field contents etc. (Including tables of possible entries etc.)
So please do consider using classification first (even if you already use classification of your materials). You can also then use the standard search functions on any of the new "fields" .
No ABAP, No modification and available now !
Worth considering?

All IObjects have partners maintained. The requirement is to select IObjects by to postalcode of the partner in partnerfunction "Ship-To-party".
Could you please give me some tipps how to acchieve this?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Manfred

Hello,
i debugged a little bit in EH_ONSEARCH.
The issue i face is that if i filter there the result than i have not all IObjects filtered with my own search criteria.
The result has an entity list which is in standard 100 entities (max_hits).
If somebody uses my own search criteria i have to check all the 50.000 Iobjects in the system not only 100.
From a performant point of view this is maybe critical. I will check this.
If somebody have some tip for me please add them to this threat.
Thank you

Classification : Material searching with CL31

Hi everybody,
I' d like to be able to search materials with certain charachteristics.
The characteristics belong to a class 'CLASS_1', whose type "Materialclass" is.
I have already assigned my materials to 'CLASS_1' . The new charachteristics belong now to those materials.
Now I need only to run CL31 to search my materials.So I have read in other forum.
But CL31 doesn't allow me to "search" at all. Although it is allowed to insert the charachteristics that should belong to the desired materials, there's no button 'Execute' or similar to run the searching.
I don't even want to search the materials via CL30N, as the name of the class is unknown to me.
Can anybody help please? Award points if useful!
Christian

I found myself, how it goes
Jump to the Tabstrip "Selection Criteria" , then go to Menu ->"Find" -> Find in Classtype"
Thank you all the same.

Is it possible to enhance the dynamic search with Option field with custom

Hi All,
is it possible to enhance dynamic search with OPTION parameter like Equals to , Between etc, instead of these are we able to add our own? If yes, then which are steps need to perform.
Thanking you.
Regards,
VjMHyd

Just to test is this possible i wrote a sample program
data: lr_dquery type REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service.
data: lv_status TYPE CRMT_PROCESS_DESCRIPTION.
data: mv_bol_core type REF TO cl_crm_bol_core,
        lr_result_obj type ref to if_bol_bo_col,
        lv_opp_id type string,
        lr_entity type ref to cl_crm_bol_entity.
MV_BOL_CORE = CL_CRM_BOL_CORE=>GET_INSTANCE( ).
MV_BOL_CORE->START_UP( 'BT' ).
*data: lv_opp_id type string.
lr_dquery = cl_crm_bol_dquery_service=>GET_INSTANCE( 'BTQOpp' ).
if lr_dquery is bound.
*   prepare the selection paramters
lr_dquery->add_selection_param(
    exporting
      iv_attr_name = 'OBJECT_ID'   " Component name
      iv_sign      =   'I' " Inclusion/exclusion criterion SIGN for range tables
      iv_option    =   'PI' " Selection operator OPTION for range tables
      iv_low       =   lv_opp_id
*   Get the dynamic result object and read the opportunity status from there
lr_result_obj ?= lr_dquery->get_query_result( ).
lr_entity ?= lr_result_obj->get_first( ).
if lr_entity is bound.
    lr_entity->get_property_as_value( exporting iv_attr_name = 'STATUS'
                                importing ev_result = lv_status ).
endif.
endif.
BREAK-POINT.
No syntax error but junk values returned as I had not written the logic for retrieval based on this operator. This means that if you add the selection_param to the dynamic query and then handle that same thing in the GENIL class for the component then you would be able to retrieve the values based on this.
On the UI , you would be retrieving all the operators for the parameters. There for that particular field you have to add the new operator for your case. And this would be send to the Dquery class and added as a selection param. When the query is executed, if the genil class has been updated to handle this parameter, you should be able to retrieve the results.

Creation of Material Documents With Mvt Type

On Performing Post Goods Issue (PGI) in one Plant in case of Plant to Plant Dispatches, there should be Inbound delivery created for already created Purchase Order (PO). In addition after creation of inbound delivery, there should be material document created with 103 movement. This Material document is triggered when the inbound delivery is saved. Once Warehouse processes are finished, then Post Goods Receipt (PGR) happens, so 101 Movement Type happens for Purchase Order. PGR document should trigger one more material document with 104 movements; this document is reversal for material document with 103 movement type.
can any one suggest to enhance SAP for this?

Hi Nitin,
Before creating the Service type of product, you have to define the Base category for Service type product. Generally the category for service will be created under the R3 hierarchy R3PRODSTYPE. You can create this category using the TCode:
COMM_HIERARCHY. Here you have to select the product type as Service and have to assign the set types to the category.
You can create a service product using the transaction : COMMPR01 -> Click on Service ICON -> Select the Category for Service Type. Then fill in the details for Service Product description, Service ID(Based on number range settings for products), Language.
Also fill other details like Base Unit of measure, Pricing condition for different sales areas for the service product.
Since you are using CRM7.0, you can do all these activities using a POWER USER role.
For more information about Set types and hierarchies please refer the following help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/57672501a208e7e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm

How to enhance the standard search with custom field?

Hi all,
I would like to know the general optimal procedure to enhance the standard searches like Opportunity search or Lead search.
I've gone through some of the threads here. Some suggest, to add the new field using AET and copy the IMPL class of the search and then code the custom logic. Some say, append the new field to the structure of the search object and then implement the BADI.
I'm actually a bit confused to understand the correct procedure.
Can someone please help me with a generic procedure to enhance the standard search with a custom field?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Maren,
Once I have got the same development. I have followed the below steps, please check with this. Let me know for further inputs.
Add new field using Append structure of type ‘XXX’ in search
Create BADI implementation for Enhancement spot ‘ES_CRM_RF_Q1O_SEARCH’ and include filter ‘BTQOPP’
Put your logic in BADI implementation – SEARCH method
Add it in WebUI configuration
Remove the operator if required

ColdFusion Search with Excel Sheet creation

Are Cube organized materialized view with Year to Date calculated measure eligible for Query Rewrite

Hi,
Will appreciate if someone can help me with a question regarding Cube organized MV (OLAP).
Does cube organized materialized view with calculated measures based on time series Year to date, inception to date eg.
SUM(FCT_POSITION.BASE_REALIZED_PNL) OVER (HIERARCHY DIM_CALENDAR.CALENDAR BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT MEMBER WITHIN ANCESTOR AT DIMENSION LEVEL DIM_CALENDAR."YEAR")
are eligible for query rewrites or these are considered advanced for query rewrite purposes.
I was hoping to find an example with YTD window function on physical fact dim tables with optimizer rewriting it to Cube Org. MV but not much success.
Thanks in advance

I dont think this is possible.
(My own reasoning)
Part of the reason query rewrite works for base measures only (not calc measures in olap like ytd would be) is due to the fact that the data is staged in olap but its lineage is understandable via the olap cube mappings. That dependency/source identification is lost when we build calculated measures in olap and i think its almost impossible for optimizer to understand the finer points relating to an olap calculation defined via olap calculation (olap dml or olap expression) and also match it with the equivalent calculation using relational sql expression. The difficulty may be because both the olap ytd as well as relational ytd defined via sum() over (partition by ... order by ...) have many non-standard variations of the same calculation/definition. E.g: You can choose to use or choose not to use the option relating to IGNORE NULLs within the sql analytic function. OLAP defn may use NASKIP or NASKIP2.
I tried to search for query rewrite solutions for Inventory stock based calculations (aggregation along time=last value along time) and see if olap cube with cube aggregation option set to "Last non-na hierarchical value" works as an alternative to relational calculation. My experience has been that its not possible. You can do it relationally or you can do it via olap but your application needs to be aware of each and make the appropriate backend sql/call. In such cases, you cannot make olap (aw/cubes/dimensions) appear magically behind the scenes to fulfill the query execution while appearing to work relationally.
