Name of collective search help.

Hi,
How can we find the name of collective search help of any field in a  transaction?
Say if we need to find the name of the collective search help of BATCH in VL02N transaction.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Suchi.

Hello Sucharita,
There is a hierarchy in which the Searh help is accessed.
For example, you have assigned search help to a screen field with both the options below
   1. in Process on Value Request for the field.
   2. direct assignement of search help to the screen field (you can see this in screen layout)
Even if both are defined, only 1st option is given priority (i.e. Process on value request).
If that is not defined, then the search that is directly assigned to the screen field provides the values (i.e. when you press F4).
All the options are completely explained in the below link in a picture. This diagram is very clear. I explained some steps below. go through them by paralelly looking at the picture. in the picture, notice that there is difference in dotted line and normal line.
[[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cf/21ea0b446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]
REFER TO HIERARCHY OF SEARCH HELP CALL SECTION
So, do the following..
1. Find if any Process on Value request is defined in the screen for Cost center. If yes, you need to modify the code here. if no, go to 2nd point.
2. Find if any search help is assigned to the screen field in the screen layout. If yes, modify the search help specified there. If no, go to point 3. (Check this search help in SE11 using Test Button, if it is same as what you get normally on the screen).
3. Go to F1. Go to Table field specified there. Then put the cursor on table field and press Search Help button. If you get any search help there, use that. If no, go to point 4.
4. Similarly, you should continue all the steps as specified in the diagram. If I explain this, it will be too long.
   If you did not find until last stage, it will be available in the data element.
This way you can find the correct search help that is used.
hope this helped at leasta little.

  • Find collective Search Help for partner function at runtime

    Hi experts,
    I have a screen very similar to VF05. When I enter the partner function, the corresponding field for the partner function, I want a collective search help to open.
    If I enter the partner function - Employee responsible, then the search help PERM has to be called or for partner function Payer, I want the search help DEBI to be called. Can anyone let me know how can I get the related partner functions, without hardcoding for every partner function. Something similar to the VF05 report.

  • Collective search help in PA30

    Hi Experts,
    I have followed the below steps to add new field in the Collective search help in PA30.
    1. Collective srch hlp for Employee is - PREM and the Elementary srch hlp for 'Last name - First name' is PREMN.

    5. Assign Selection Method ZM_PREMN to PREMN.
    6. In secarh help parameter assign SPos filed 3 for newly added RUFNM(Nick Name).
    I have copied Selection method   M_PREMJ into ZM_PREMJ. From SE11 selected radio button u2018Viewu2019 and entered ZM_PREMJ then selected Change button.
    A new window pope up with options u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 and u2018Change orig. languageu2019.
    If I select u2018Change orig. languageu2019 then I am getting the following error
    View ZM_PREMJ contains inactive components
    If I select u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 then it will allowing for modifications. But when I activate I am getting following errors:

    And clicked on u2018Changeu2019 button, then I have two options u2018Maint in orig. lang,u2019 and u2018Main. in logon langu2019.
    I have selected u2018Main. in logon lang; (which option to be selected??)
    And replaced Selection method u2018M_PREMNu2018with ZM_PREMN, then activated.
    It was activated with warning and following are adjusted.

  • How can we create a Collective search help

    Hi all sap experts,
    How can we create a Collective search help on field “OBJECT” which allows to search tables
    o   ARCH_OBJ
    o   TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
    on 2 tabs.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    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 documentation to (collective) search help

    If i create a collective search help via se11 and execute it, the blue 'I'-button (information) appears.  When I press it, nothing happens.
    (the same thing occurs with the sflight searchhelp)
    I would like to add a documentation to a collective search help that would appear when this button is pressed.  is this possible and how should I do it?

    Hi Dries,
    Go through this info.
    Creating Collective 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 Collective search help and choose .
    The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
    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 parameters of the collective search help.
    Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
    Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
    You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
    In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
    In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
    On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
    You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
    Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
    It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
    Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
    In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
    You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
    Save your entries.
    A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
    Choose .
    Result
    The collective 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 when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
    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.
    Other Options
    You can test the flow of an input help defined by the collective 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 .
    Rewards some points .

  • Exapmple required on Collective Search Help

    Hi,
    As per my understanding Collective search help is combination of "Elementary Serach Helps".
    I have created two Elementary search helps
    one (Name : ZELE_TEST)is with the following fields
    MKPF-MBLNR
    second(Name : ZELE_TEST1) is with
    LFA1- LIFNR
    LFA1-LAND1
    STEP 1: Afterwards I have try to create COLLECTIVE SEARCH HELP( Name: ZCOLLE_TEST ) using the above two Elementary search helps. While creating the COLLECTIVE SEARCH HELP in Definition tab I took MBLNR, LIFNR, LAND1 fields.
    STEP 2: In Included Search Helps tab I took the above two elementary serach helps ie ZELE_TEST and ZELE_TEST1.
    STEP 3: afterwards I gone through the  "Parm. Assignment" push button. May be I am going wrong in this step or else .....but finally I am unable to execute the collective search help.
    Please correct me where I am doing wrong in the above procedure.
    It would  be greatful if u will provide me example for collective search help using morethan one elementary search help.

  • Problem creating a hybrid collective search help for werks,bukrs and ekorg

    Hi All,
    I have to create a collective search help for Org_key field of a custom table.
    This org_key field is a char4 field and can hold the value for plant , bukrs and ekorg.
    I need to create a collective search help which includes
    C_T001                          Collective Search Help for BUKRS (Company Code)
    H_T001W_NEW     Possible Entries for Plants
    H_T024E                         Input Help for Purchasing Organization
    I have added org_key field in the field description , how can i do the parameter assigment ( or declare the field description ) so that if the user press F4 for org_key field ,he is able to see all the search paths corresponding to C_T001,H_T001W_NEW, and H_T024E simultaneously, and corresponding to value chosen ( for plant , werks or ekorg ) the value is passed back to the org_key field.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Anurag

    Problem resolved. You can hard code values, like the domain name within the search help.
    Although I have found that if you don't use a search help and you have domain values then your drop-down list values will be automatically populated from the domain values for the field. At least in my dynpro it does.
