Search help entries restriction

Hi Friends,
I have created an elementary search help. In which I want to display all the possible values with out resticting the entries. I tries with all the dialogue types(A, C, D). But it allways restricting with 500 entries.
Could somebody help please.
regards,
Giri

Hi J@Y,
Thanks for your reply. But, when the control comes to search help exit, already the selected entries were restricting to 500. So, even I am changing the value to zero or space here, it is not solving the issue. So, could you please tell me how to skip the restriction before control comes to the search help exit.
Many thanks
Regards

Search Help Entries

Hi,
When i try to manipulate the entries in a search help created in a customized field on MM01 screen, the search box is not showing the values.
well, i have created a search help exit by F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE function, but when a try to manipulate the record_tab on step 'DISP' and input or delete new entries after runs the functions the search help is claering itself ..!!!
i took a look in this forum, but i didn´t find a cleary answer. Has someone faced this issue ?
i will apreciated a help..!
thanks a lot.

Hi there,
Thanks for some input. But as already mentioned above, I have tried using all possible types of dialog box (hit list), but the search help on the portal remains the same. I was wondering if there are any settings in the system level or portal content management which would restrict the entries to 150.
Any clue????

Search help value restriction fields

Hi experts,
I have modified the existing search help by using "SEARCH HELP EXIT".
Here is the situation:
As soon as I press F4 button on particular field, it will display search help restrictions window with 4 fields.
suppose if I enter material number on material number field, it should display only particular material not all materials.
Normally it was working fine before I written search help exit.
In search help exit I am selecting values directly from database table with out consider restrictions window parameters.
How to findout the restrictions window parameter names ( I mean screen field name). So that I can add those fields in my select statement where condfition.
Pls help me.
Thanks in advance

I got the solution. Any how Thanks.

SRM search help is restricted to 100 hits

Under default settings, the search help for eg. attibute LAG displays only 100 hits for the user, although more entries are maintained in the org structure. This also occurs when the user selects similar attributes during the creation of the shopping cart. The search help used is BBP_STORAGE_VALUE, which uses a search help exit function module called BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_STORAGE which explicitly in certain situations sets a limit of 500. Why are only 100 hits displayed for the user - could this be a template issue?

Our Basis guys followed the steps below:
Add the following parameter to the sap instance profile
itsp/SearchhelpResultPerPage = 1000
Do this either through RZ10 or directly at the filesystem level and change the 1000 value, that we used, to be greater than the maximum number of records that need to be returned
Restart the SAP instance and then check in RZ11 that the value is changed from the default (which is 100). Finally check that the search is now reurning the required number of results.

Search help entry

Hi All,
I am working on module pool programming, here user need to key in two fields, type and description. I have created a search help for this two field and assigned the search help to the screen fields. But user wants it to be only be picked from the search help not by the user entry, can any one tell me how to avoid user from manual entry?
Thanks,
Fed

Algorithm for this would be :
1. Make the field in question "output only".
2. At the POV event, call the FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. It will call the search help explicitly.
3. Once the user selects the values use DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE to update the screen values.
You can refer to this thread for a similar requirement : Using F4 help for a selection-screen field which is not input enabled

Search help value restriction in two tables having same value table

Hi Gurus,
I have two tables containing same field having same domain with value table. My requirement is to restrict the values in the tables. For example the field contains 4 values:
1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
For table 1, only A and C should be seen in F4 and for table 2, only B and D should be seen. Also if somebody forces B or D
in 1st table should not be allowed and the same for 2nd table ( A & C are not allowed ). How to do this using search help exit . Which event should I use. I don't want to create two separate check tables containing only the required values.

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

Hi Pradeep,
Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
Enhancing a Standard Search Help
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

T-code PA30(SAP HR) search help exit problem.

Hi Experts ,
I have a requirement to restrict/show particluar Wage Types in PA30 t-code on basis a company code of a given the employee (PERNR).
The field PERNR/Company code are not there in the parameters or selection method of the elementary search help H_T5W3A(PA0151-LGART field) .
I have managed to add the field pernr to the parameters of this elementary serach help H_T5W3A and also given it as a importing parameter in the custom search help exit FM.
When i debug the PERNR/Company code don't get populated in the FM parameters.
I need this PERNR/Comp code to be poulated in order for the search help entries to be restricted as this is the requirement.
Please tell me what step i am missing here.
Any other workarounds for this requirement.

Hi,
Adding an importing parameter just provides the user to restrict the search by entering the field value. For this you need not write a search help exit. You only need to join the tables with the fields properly in the search help. However if the Wage types need to be populated as per the company code and if you have included the company code as an importing parametr, then everytime the user clicks on the F4 help for Wage type, he "has" to enter the company code in the pop up that appears for selection criteria, otherwise how would the search help know the value that you have entered for company code.
Without entering the company code in the pop up that would appear to restrict the search, the search help won't work as there won't be any other way to make it aware of the value entered.

Issue With Search Help in Module Pool

Dear All,
I have an Issue with Search help. I have created a Module Pool Program. In this module pool, User requires the search helps for the fields.
Imagine there are 3 fields on a screen. Field1, field2 and field3.
Field2 entries depends on field1 and field3 entries depends on field1 and field2.
I have created a collective search help. and created the corresponding Ztables to maintain the search help entries.
Now I assigned the same collective search help to both the fields . i.e. field2 and field3. But when i execute the module pool program, and press F4 on these fields , the data shown is write. BUT for the 3rd field, when I select F4, The second field values are transfered to the screen, instead of third field value.
Any Idea will be appreciated .
Help me , Its very Urgent.
Regards,

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?

Search help import parameter

Hi,
I have 2 columns in my ALV table. COL_A and COL_B.
My requirement is to populate the search help entries of COL_B based on COL_A. but if COL_A is left blank then search help of COL_B should display all values based on user access.
Can I access value of import parameter (COL_A) of dictionary search help in search help exit so that i would know whether COL_A is empty or not.
Please let me know how can I access value of import parameter of dictionary search help in search help exit .
Thanks,
Feroz

Hi Feroz,
It is easy..
Just mention both column A and column B as importing paramenter.
and use this code skeleton..
use it in the "select" call control step
CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'
    EXPORTING
      source_structure   = 'XXXXXXXXX'
      apply_restrictions = ' '
    TABLES
      shlp_tab           = shlp_tab
      record_tab         = record_tab
      source_tab         = 'XXXXXXXX'
    CHANGING
      shlp               = shlp
      callcontrol        = callcontrol
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS             = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT'
    EXPORTING
      PARAMETER   = 'XXXXXXX'    "this can be your column A
      fieldname   = 'XXXXXXXXX'
    TABLES
      shlp_tab    = shlp_tab
      record_tab = record_tab[]
      source_tab = lt_time_range
    CHANGING
      shlp        = shlp
      callcontrol = callcontrol.
callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT'
    EXPORTING
      PARAMETER   = 'XXXXXXX'    "this can be your column B
      fieldname   = 'XXXXXXXXX'
    TABLES
      shlp_tab    = shlp_tab
      record_tab = record_tab[]
      source_tab = lt_time_range
    CHANGING
      shlp        = shlp
      callcontrol = callcontrol.
callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.
here, source_structure is the structure of the table where the data is available which is the "source_tab".
Parameter field is the name of parameter specified in search help. and fieldname is the field corresponding to the paramer in the table "source_tab".

Search help on product category

Hi experts,
We are on an SRM 5.0 system, classic scenario.
When adding an item to the shopping cart, using the 'describe requirement', the user can choose between 'goods' and 'services'. After selecting this, a product category can be chosen. At this moment the system does not filter the search results on product category. If the user for example selects product type = service, we need to restrict the product category choice to only service categories. Anybody an idea how this could be achieved? Standard not possible?
Kind Regards,

Hi,
If this not the std functionality then you may have to modify the search help to restrict the O/P list for services product category.
At one of our early implementations,for the product search in the link "Internal Goods/Services,we modified the search help "BBPH_PRODUCT".We attached a custom function module exit to this search help in which the logic was written for retrieving the products based on plant .May be you can think of something similar.

Add search help to IT0006-PSTLZ field

Hi gurus,
what is the procedure of creating a search help for a standard field IT0006-PSTLZ?
Where should I do code implementation?
Possible search help selections should display Z table entries of local postal codes.
Selection of search help entry for PSTLZ should automatically fill P0006-ORT01 that is part of search help (Z table).
Please help.
cheers, Tom

I've already created Z table and search help, but have no ideas on how to linki it with IT0006.
Is there any way to avoid changing standard?
I'm new to enhancements and BAdi, so i'm not sure how to proceed on this one...
Where should this functionality be implemented?
Of course the change to the infotype should only be done in our country specific screen.
Since SAP does not provide this customer requirement by standard, we have to manually speed
up customer data entry and avoid input errors.
thnx, Tom

Search Help Hit List Max 5000

Hi gurus,
How i can display search help hit list more than 5000 because the system display max. 5000 only
regards,
Next.

Hi,
Try this options mentioned in the SAP note
In the initial screen HELP --> Settings . Go to the tab F4 Help . Go to change mode and choose "Dialog" instead of "Control".
Now for F4 help you will get a check box "No restriction". Use this Check box and try again.
I guess performance will be seriously affected
Refer these SAP notes
Note 487689 - Search help control: Restrictions
Note 163738 - Hit List does not display more than 5000 values.
