Possibility of having match code on HERST of Equipment Master

Hi -
We can have a field exit on field HERST of Equipment Master.
Is there any possibility of giving a match code on this filed? so that we can maintain a table for manufacturer and user can select any one entry from this table.
We do have activated user exit for manufacturer check, but need to further restrict the entry so that there is uniformity of entry maintained in this field.
Kindly advice.

hi narendar,
some information :
In addition to the above mentioned exit we have also created a custom match code for this field in one of our project ... the exit gets triggerred whenver user hits enter and the value entered here is used in selection criteria that displays the custom popup window ... the data is picked from vendor master table the selection createria we used was vendor name and description and vendor acount group MNFR - for manufacturers would be defaulted and displayed.So you can go with creating a custom match code which is invoked whenever user selects F4...

Match code in report selection screen does not show any values for 0FISCPER

Hi Experts,
I have problem with selection screen in several reports. When I use match code for fiscal period selection I get only # as a possible value. I have checked the master data they seem to be correct. I work with 7.0 BW system. Can you please give me any hint what I should check?
Thank you,
Michal

Hi,
maybe I ask different way - how do you add characteristic values for a characteristic in the BEx? Is it automated somehow in SAP (e.g. from master data)? For the fiscal period I use custommer exit to fill in the default value, which is the current fiscal period. But this is something different, right?

Thanks,

I know it has to be done by ABAP group but I got confused with the help on this field.. ABAP group says it is going to be a core code change since there is no user exit available for that field.

How to identify a change on parameters value using match code

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if it's possible to identify automatically a change on a parameters using match code.
For example : In my wiew i set XXX in my parameters, so i execute XXX treatment. Now if i change this value to YYY, i would like to treat the YYY treatment without press enter key.
My requirement is the following : According to the values filled in this parameters, i need to display different views in my WD application. So when this value changes, it's neccesary to modify the displayed views.
Does anybody can help me on this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i think ,when you start a application with application parameters your first requirement is realized. However , the second requirement need more clarity.
When you start a application with parameter XXX, the application is displaying a view-X. How and who will change the value of XXX. Without triggering a roundtrip to server you cannot check the value if it is changed and on top of it, you can not bring new view assembly So keep this in mind and design your application..

Match code

Hi experts,
I need some help plz :
I have 2 match code :
- The first uses a view
- The second uses function modul.
For both, i have to make fields "obligatory" (fields in the match code). How can i do that?
Thx.
Yours,
Mehdi

Hi Mehdi,
I think it is not possible to make any matchcode field obligatory. I have never seen such matchcode and also possibilities of doing that are very limited, because possibilities of designing matchcodes are limited. The only idea that comes to my mind is to put these obligatory fields also to a dynpro as obligatory fields, make them import parameters in searchelp and make a relationships between dynrpo fields and searchelp. Than it is neccessary to disable F4 if these fields are not filled in. But it is a little bit different, because users will have to fill these fields in in screen instead of search help. And also it would be possible to delete entered values in search help popup. They can be made read-only in searchelp, by making them read-only (or invisible) in screen before calling a search help, but I am not sure if this solution is sufficient for You. It depends on why You have got such requirement - it is because you want to force view assigned to search help to use a database index by selection? Or is there any other motivation? Maybe I can propose a better solution if You will describe your problem in more detail.
If You will find any solution for your issue, please keep us informed.

Adrian

Match code Object

Hi,
Please guide me, what is the effect of addition match code object.
How the match code object works.
Thanks.

Anuja

Hi,
Matchcodes are defined in two stages in Abap/4 Dictionary:
1) The revelant table and fields are stipulated in matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search item.
2) One or more matchcode ID can be defined for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search term.The fields or combination of fields via which the search is to take place is defined in the matchcode ID.
REPORT z_sdn.

Match code objects

Hi all
can any one let me know about the match code objects??
Thanks and Regards
Arun Joseph

Hi,
For many entry fields, but not all, SAP provides a search function called a Matchcode. Matchcodes allow you to select a value from a list or search for a value by categories of data if there are many possibilities.
Types of Matchcodes
Matchcodes fall into three basic categories:
1) Short list or hit list
The values are listed on one screen. For longer lists, you may need to scroll down to see all the values.
2) Restrict Value Range
Many entries are available for the field. A number of tabbed screens with different categories display so that you can enter your search criteria.
3) Calendar search
A calendar-type dialog box is displayed so that you can select day, month, and year. This is used in date fields such as invoice posting date.
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.
A search help can be created in ABAP Dictionary ( tcode se11 )
Create a new search help (say myHelp) , choose Elementary search help (simple one), select Definitions tab, enter the table name(say myTable) in "Text Table" text box.
Then enter the column to be used (say myField) for this help in search help parameter, choose Import/Export, give Lpos as 1, and activate. ( You can add more columns from the same table here).
In report, code as
parameter p1 like myTable-myField matchcode object myHelp.
when you execute this report, p1 will have a f4 help enabled. The help list will have all values from myTable for field myField.
You can do this in SE11 where you have an option for the same

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

ME51N - Match-Code for field AFANAM

Hi experts,
Can anyone tell me if it´s possible to create a match code for the field: Name of requisitioner/requester (AFNAM), on the transaction ME51N - Item overview?
Regards,
Leonel Fernandes

Hello,
if you want a list of defined entries to that field AFNAM, i think it's not possible. This field is defined as a simple char 12 field with no check table behind it. So you would have to modify the data element AFNAM or the Domain AFNAM.
A search help to find purchase orders by field AFNAM would be easy, just an append to search help MBAN - if that's your problem.
