Material Search Help for VA01 - Material by Plant

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to find out the search help for that material in that tcode. Please tell me in detail how to proceed with this and where to go with the modifications or enhancement.
I am not familiar with user exits, so please help me.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hi,
you don't need any exit / badi.
Go in VA02, in material number go in technical information : F1 ; F9
You will show there is no search-help link to the field. So the search-help is taken from the data element.
Go in SE11 and show the data element MATNR.
In the thirth tab you will find the search-help link : S_MAT1.
Go in SE11 and show the search help S_MAT1 (each time you could double click instead of reopen SE11).
This is a group search, that means, it contains many search help.
Copy a simple search help, modify as you would like.
Add your own search help in the S_MAT1, and don't forget to link fields (parameters).
You don't need any object key or user-exit.
You will affect all the screen of SAP using this search-help S_MAT1.
Regards
Frédéric

Search help for Material long text ?

Hello,
A given material code MATNR is linked a material short text ( MAKT_MAKTG for example) which is on max 40 characters.
Where can i maintain the material long text ( around 100 characters) which is available in a search help in standard SAP ?
Note : in the material master data, i know the view Purchase order text, but is there any search help for this ?
Or do you have to develop an own search help ?
Thank you in advance,
Isabelle

Thank you Jürgen,
OK, i understand that a search help on long text is not a good idea
Nevertheless, 40 characters to name a material is too short for our users. Do you know any other text field that we can use ? because i imagine it is not possible to extend MAKTG to more that 40 char.
Our issue is that we upload our material data from some manufacturer material file, and their material description (even the one called " short text" is often more than 40 char.
Do you see any possible solution ?
Thank you,
Isabelle

Search Help for Material Master

We would like to have a search help for the material master.
This should help me search the materials which have the product hierarchy field filled.
Please let me know if the below steps are correct.
1)Create a new Match Code say zMAT_prod
2)Add the match Code zMAT_prod to MAT1_A collective search help.

Hi Rohita,
Adding Matcode Id is correct...You can add this matchcode ID in the selection screen.
Also before adding the Matchcode ID ...You may need to write a select query with the condition to populate the data into that view.
Ex :
select single vbeln
           from vbak
                   into table t_matchcode
                   where vbak = xyz "give any condition which you wish to extract the data.
Suppose Matchcode Id is ZTA.
Select-options : s_vbeln for vbak-vbeln matcode id ZTA
So that it will display the Serach help with all the details.

Kittu

Search help enhancement - VA01

Hello,
I am trying to enhance standard search help on material field(RV45A-MABNR) on VA01 screen with my custom search help. Can someone please suggest which search help is being used by this material field?
Thanks,

When you go to display the structure RV45A in se11 and goto field mabnr and double click it , you can find
"explicit search help attachment to data element" and not as "explicit search help attachment to data field"
which is the case for RMXTT_TRIAL_HD-PRODUCT
and also when you click on the search help for field at the bottom , you can see " no search help for field RV45A-MABNR".

How to get search help for 2nd parameter based on the 1st parameter value

Hi all!
 I have 2 parameters (material no, revision level). I have created a search help for revision level. It has an importing parameter :material no. and one exporting parameter : revision level.When I checked it, it's giving the revision values only for the specified.
In my report , I have kept these 2 materials in my selection screen.For revision level , I have added the matchcode object which I have created. When I pressed F4 for revision level, it's giving all the values irrespective of the material no. in the first parameter. How to solve it? Please suggest.

Search Help for custom data element

Hi experts,
I have a small question regarding accessing data on different clients.
Can I have an abap program where I can make reference to data /tables in different client AAA, assuming the system (AAA) with data is logically connected to the client that has the ABAP Program ?
thanks,
Rajesh

Thanks Ankur and Rich,
I would like to clarify your responses.
I have a custom field my material in SAP xRPM system( different client from R/3). As per your previous replies, I understand it is possible to have search help for material in xRPM and validate the data with material in R/3. Is this correct? Do I need to maintain all the data in the xRPM ?
thanks again,
Rajesh

Creating a search help for a field in selection screen

Hi All,
There are 3 fields in the selection screen. They are
 WERKS
 DATE
 MATNR
Enter a value WERKS = 2465.
When I press the drop down menu for MATNR, it should only give the material number available for 2465.
I think, I should create a search help for it.
Kindly help me to create a search help for the material number based on the above condition.
Thanks in advance.

Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

Hi,
Im trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, ) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

Hi Mike,
The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
Kind Regards,
Owen

No search help for Custom field ZZKUKLA in vk11

Hi,
I have added the field KUKLA - Customer classification as a pricing field in KOMP. Created an access sequence as follows: Sales Org.-> Customer Classification - material group.
In the creation of the record in VK11 I'm not getting the search help for the ZZKUKLA field. The thing is that if I'm in change or display, the search help for the field appears and lists the possible values.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!
/Patrik

Dear Pratik,
Request you to first add Customer classification field (ZZKUKLA) in KOMK structure insted of structure KOMP. Becasue it is header structure filed. After add this new filed in KOMK structure, Add this new filed in your field catelog and than create table and new access sequence. Also request you to select KOMK structure in your access sequence against this new field Customer classification ZZKUKLA.

Haresh Panara

Search help for custome field with different data type

Hi Friends,
I have Created a custom table in which i have created a field is
ZMATLONG which stores material number.
Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
How can i do it..?
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
MATNR as ZMATLONG.
Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG it will work.
I tried this its working fine.
