Match Code Search

All,
We use Asset Balance Report, S_ALR_87011963 .  The description field is case sensitive.  We have a case where the asset descriptions are in consistent: e.g. BALL vs. ball.  When running this report one can only find all assets with "BALL"  or "ball".  Is anyone aware of how to set up a "Matchcode" search that will find the word "Ball" no matter if it us Upper or Lower Case?
Thanks,
Dan

For MM02 / MM01:
Press F1 on the "Material" screen field.
Select the "Technical Details" button.
Double click on the fieldname "MATNR".
Structure RMMG1 is displayed.
Check the Search help for the fields MATNR in "Entry Help / check" tab.
It is MAT1.
For VA02
Press F1 on the "Material" screen field.
Select the "Technical Details" button.
Double click on the fieldname "MABNR".
Structure RV45A is displayed.
*Check the Search help for the component MABNR in "Entry Help / check" tab.
It is S_MAT1.
Double click on the collective search help S_MAT1.
The "Included search help" tab displays the append search help - S_MAT1_APPEND
Add another search help here using the menu path Goto -> Append Search help
If you modify search help MAT1 or MAT1
S_MAT1 -> S_MAT1_APPEND -> MAT1 -> MAT1A / MAT1_MPN, then all the tcodes where the Material field with search help MAT1/ MAT1A is used will be modified.
So modify search help S_MAT1. It will reflect in VA02.
Hope this helps.

  • Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

    Hello Experts,
    I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
    I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
    I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
    I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
    Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
    And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
    If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
    I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
    However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
    Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sofiane

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
    The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
    Could it be a new bug in SP11?
    Thanks and best regards,

  • Match Codes / Search Helps for Duplicate Check Vendor are missing

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to enable the Duplicate Check for the Vendor solution we have here and I couldn't help, but notice that when I'm setting up the DB Search in "Define Search Application", the out of the box values for existing search helps are already preconfigured and the values are the following:
    BP MC_BP_ADDRESS Address Data
    BP MC_BP_BANK_DETAIL Bank Details
    BP MC_BP_GENERAL General Data
    BP MC_BP_ID_NUMBER Identification Numbers
    BP MC_BP_ROLES BP Roles
    Unfortunately, when I check in SE11 - those search helps do not exist in the system. How can I get them deployed? Are they part of a Business Set that I missed to install and activate?
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris

    Hi Boris
    Please check that the following is set in your system:
    Configure Duplicate check for entity types - BP need the following:
    Assign search object connector template to object types - BP need the following:
    Ensure that "Business Partner template for MDG" connector is created in ESH_COCKPIT

  • Match Code/ Search Help

    Hi !
    I need to create a new matchcode for transaction XD03 which is directly a clone of search help DEBIX with additions of two fields i.e street 4 and street 5(STR_SUPPL3 & LOCATION). When I do that by copying and adding the two fields somehow I was not getting theright thing and it was taking me through the DEBIX , probably due to teh fact that I was using the same FM used in DEBIX. SO i created another database view table and put the required fields needed in it, but still I am not getting the result.
    Can anyone help me in creating this new search help which will be similar to DEBIX and the two fields added to it.
    Thanks

    >  i created another database view table and put the required fields needed in it, but still I am not getting >the result.
    > Can anyone help me in creating this new search help which will be similar to DEBIX and the two fields >added to it.
    Are those fields are from the smae table or they are from same table. what is happening when you go to view and check the entries, are those fields populated or not.
    May be inside the function they are populating the search help values with some coding manually , which don't include the Fields which you added recently.
    For time being, just to test remove the Exit function and check it once , are you getting values in those fields are not..

  • Authorisation issue with Vendor match code

    The authorisations for purchasing vendor create/change/display (mk01/mk02/mk03) has been restricted to a single Vendor account group in authorisations.
    However the mathc code search in (mk02/mk03) allows vendors in all account groups to be seen, showing post code and name.
    Is there an authorisation object to prevent this and only allow visibility of a specific vendor account group within the match code search?

  • How to implement search help instead of match code objects table in program

    Hi,
    We are now in upgrade process of code remediation ( From 4.6c to EC6.0).
    We have created search helps instead of matchcode object table. This match code object table M_VMVLC has been deleted
    in EC6.0.  And search help VMVLC is available.
    In the program, they have used <M_VMVLC > -<fieldname> i.e. <tablename> - <fieldname> in declaring parameters,
    in the 'into' clause of select statement, in the 'from' clause of select statement, in the 'write' statement.
    I want to know how to replace this matchcode object table with the search help in the program.

  • Search help and Match code oject

    How to create the search help in version 5.0 and 6.0 ? what is elementary search help,collective search help? what is the use of these search helps? where we use elementary and collective searsc helps? what is the difference between searc help and match code object? how to use in reports?where we use search help and F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST function module? what is the diffference between them?

    Hi Rk,
    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.
    CREATION:
    Go to SE11 Tcode
    select search help
    give the 'z' search help name and create
    select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
    dialog module 'display value immediately'.
    add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
    where left position when displaying and spos = search position
    and then save and activate ..

  • Diff between index , search help , match code

    wht is Diff between index , search help , match code

    Hi,
    There is no difference between Search helps and match code objects.
    Search helps are the Advanced concept of Match codes.
    SAP Converted match codes to Search helps.
    Index :
    An Index is a copy of database table having few numbers of fields. This copy is always in sorted form. As we know, Sorted data would always have a speed access from a database table. Hence, we use an index for the table while reading the database records. Index also contains a pointer pointing towards actual database table so that it can access fields that are not contained in the Index
    For More Information About Index :

  • Differnces between Search Help & Match Codes

    Hi,
    what is the Differences between Search Help & Match Codes ? which is goof to use ?

    Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.
    Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.
    A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:
    You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.
    You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.
    Search Help

    With this function you can search for objects, thereby defining and linking different selection conditions for the search help.

    You can call this function by:
    · Selecting Object ® Search... () in the main menu bar of the Integration Builder
    · Placing the cursor on a software component version and selecting Search... () in the context menu (only in the Integration Repository)

  • Steps to replace match code objects with search helps in ECC6 upgrade

    Hi,
    Upgrade 4.7 to ECC6, match code objects need to be replaced with search hellps.
    SAP note provided by client but not understanding clearly. Can any one explain me the stelps to migrate the match code objects into search hepls.
    Thanks,
    Jwala Deepa

    Hi,
    Migration must be done by a developer who knows both matchcodes and search helps. It's not just like a procedure that you can follow without knowledge/without thinking.
    It's probably a little bit like forms (but far more simple), they often need to be "migrated from scratch"
    The first important point is where to find the matchcode object/IDs -> SE11 -> Utility -> Other DDic objects. Then you'll see that are the update type, base table, etc.
    There's a little scheme here to show the differences: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/3e/f3fc37eeb70143e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm (plus the general matchcode documentation : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/cf/21ef1f446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm )
    If you need a procedure, let's wait, and see if someone has one, but it doesn't look promising as matchcodes are not used since a long time now.

  • Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

    Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

    Serch help
    Search Helps
    The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. The user can display the list of all possible input values for a screen field with the input help. The possible input values can be enhanced with further information. This is meaningful especially when the field requires the input of a formal key.
    Standard Input Help Process
    A user calls an input help with the following steps (some steps can be omitted, depending on the definition of the input help):
    The user starts the input help to display the possible input values for a field (search field) in a screen template.
    The system offers the user a number of possible search paths. The user selects one of these search paths. Each search path offers a number of restrictions to limit the number of possible input values. These values are offered in a Dialog box for value restriction when the search path is selected.
    The user enters restrictions if required and then starts the search.
    The system determines the values that satisfy the entered restrictions (hits) and displays them as a list (hit list).
    The user selects the most suitable line from the hit list by double-clicking.
    The value of the search field is returned to the screen template (possibly together with other values).
    Steps 2 and 3 are omitted if there is only a single search path available. In this case the dialog box for the value selection is offered immediately. You can also output the hit list directly after starting the input help. Steps 2 to 4 are omitted in this case.
    Function of a Search Help
    This standard process can be completely defined by creating a search help in the ABAP Dictionary. This search help only has to be assigned to the screen fields in which they should be available (see Attaching Search Helps to Screen Fields).
    There are two types of search help:
    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).
    Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

    Match code
    Match code is nothing but the Search help in Higher versions
    It is same way from SE11 you have to create.
    so from SE11 create it and use it.
    Matchcode objects are being replaced by search helps. This is good as search helps are easy to create. However, it has caused some confusion on how best to add search helps to a selection field.
    The trick that I found is to keep your newly created search helps to a 4-character name. The Matchcode object name has this old 4-character limit. This trick is not documented anywhere in the system but it has been a great time saver for me. You can expand this concept by finding existing SAP search helps that are more than 4-characters, copy them to a 4-character name and presto, you have a new matchcode object available for use
