Fast Order Entry - Business Partner Search / Suggestion

Hi Experts,
is there a way to configure the Business Partner suggestion as shown on the screenshot? Is it somehow possible that I enter the name of the partner , lets say 'miller' and the system automatically suggest the corresponding business partner 1000US_A40 (= Miller Furniture )? Or is the only way to use F4? The goal is to manually create an order as fast as possible, therefore the search with F4 is too time consuming.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards,
Tom

I've noticed that in my use of the system, in similar scenarios for example; selecting a resource it will only suggest items based on the specific field you're entering.
With our resources (vehicles, trailers) the Fleet ID number is used as the identifier field but the operational staff tend to refer to equipment by it's registration number. So if we try to type in the registration number (a different field), the suggested values do not recognise it.
The screen capture above in the original post appears to display this as well - field holds the identifier number but the request is for part of the description field to be entered and used within the suggested values. The connection here is that the description field is similar to our registration field in that they aren't the primary identifier fields.
In regards to Bharath's suggestions, (1) appears to already be enabled since the suggested values have popped up. The questions is whether or not a search term relating to a field (that isn't the Ordering Party ID) can be typed and the suggested values will recognise the connection.
Granted, I understand this isn't an answer. I simply wanted to weigh in on this discussion as I face a similar issue that we're unsure of how to solve.

New HTML for Business Partner Search in CIC0

Hi,
I created a new HTML object, copy of CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY, in SMW0, changed the HTML code and assigned this new HTML to my Business Partner Search profile.
But when testing this change it seems that the HTML is incorrect because when I search and confirm the BP, the fields in the HTML are not filled with the BP information.
I imported the HTML code to the HTML object CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY and it works fine. So the problem is not with the code, but with the HTML object itself. Is there any need to activate it or something like that?!
Thanks a lot!
Susana Messias

Hello Susana,
please check if you have done all the necessary steps:
1. Copy in transaction SMW0 the HTML template CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY      an own one (Z_<YOURNAME>.htm).
2. Export this new template to your local PC and use a HTML Editor to
   work on this file (like Frontpage).
3. Import this new page in SMW0 again to the copied Web object.
4. Make sure in transaction CRMC_CIC_SEARCH_CNTR the mapping of the
   fields is setup for the new template (copy all entries of the
   standard template).
5. Make sure the new web object is assigned to the search profile in
   CRMC_CIC_SEARCH_RULE

Business Partner Search using Sales Area Fields

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody knows how to enable sales area fields as search criterias for business partner search?
The component is BP_HEAD_SEARCH. When I go into configuration of view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearch I find no Sales Area related available search criterias. Am I the first to ask for this option or did SAP ignore the requirements of the customers? It seems for me to be a very basic requirement.
Please help.
Thanks!
/Elvez

Hello,
This option has never been present in any previous CRM versions and not in the 2007.
If you want this functionality I guess you'll have to develop it from scratch.
I would agree with you that this is a basic requirement if it's a R/3 system where business partners are more sales area oriented. But this is a CRM system...

High-speed business partner search

Hi, all
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/fr/b0/7ff3f1b791481f89147cacc02de8bc/content.htm
If high-speed business partner search is set up in your system, you can enable it in the account identification profile so that all interaction center (IC) agents assigned to this profile can use high-speed search to identify accounts in the IC WebClient. For searching large numbers of business partner records, high-speed search is more efficient than standard search because it stores and indexes your account data in main memory. To maximize the availability of high-speed search, the data is updated from the database once every six hours (default setting), though you can change this setting to balance freshness of data with maximum system performance.
Do you know about successfully implementation of this functionality?
Do you use this functionality?

Business Partner search (case sensitive)

I create a Business Partner with the following details
FirstName - Vikram
LastName - Chandna
When i search the created Business Partner via Tcode-FPP3 by name, the
search is case In-Sensitive(i.e Font case doesn't matter)
But, when i search the same in the Database table-BUT000 directly or in
the SAP Query/Reports , the search is Case-Sensitive.
Why?
Thanks & Regards,
Gagan

Hi Gagan,
The field BU_SORT1 in Table BUT000 which is for search option has data type as Character without Lowercase.If the Lowercase option (in the output characteristicks) is ticked in the table, the sytem will allow you to search based on Lowercase as well.

Getting error message in Business Partner search help

Hi Experts,
User is getting an error message while clicking the Search help for business Partner in all the transactions (FPL9, EEDM11, etc.).
Only few users are facing this issue. We have compared the roles of the affected users and unaffected users and the roles are same. What will be the reason for few users getting the error?
Thanks & Regards,
Dipin

I'm not familiar with EEDM11, but FPL9 has parameter ids that can be set at the user level. Look at
System/User Profile/Own Data, Parameters tab between your two groups of users. Also consider checking the settings in Help/Settings, F4 Help tab.
Lastly, you might try dropping debug on the error popup and see where it is being triggered from. Maybe the answer is there.

How to post a Draft Sales Order for Business Partner on hold

Hi Experts,
I hope you can help me with a question I have using 8.81 PL07.
I know that the inactive / active functionality changed with 8.8 so that when a BP is inactive it no longer appears in the Choose From lists.
Prior to 8.8 when a Customer was on hold we could still raise Draft SO's for them, which we could then add once the Customer was taken off hold.
How do I do this in 8.81 please?
Thanks very much,
Caroline

Hello Caroline,
I have found sap note: 1411244 this desribes these "new" functionality.
"Item, business partner, and account "Choose from List" windows no longer show inactive objects. "
So the answer for your question is: from version 8.8 is not possible to record any draft documents on Business Partners are on hold.

János
