In this case the software component version is defined as the search criteria.
Features
Defining the Object Type
You can select the object type in a dropdown list in field Object Type.
In the design (Integration Repository) you can
· Select an object type (for example Message Interface)

Single search help MAT1L looses matchcodes

A client asked to limit the MAT1 help for some users. We implemented succesfully a single search help with MAT0M (by erasing all others from shlp_tab) and filters by maktl and t023-begru (which has a very usefull authorization object).
Now he asked to add a second help window, and I've met an anoying difficulty. If I add the MAT1L and keep the MAT0M, I get the two help tabs, but the MAT1L help doesn't use my MAT1 user exit function. If I delete the MAT0M and keep only the MAT1L, that help uses my MAT1 user exit function, but looses it's internal matchcodes for spras and maktl.
I've been trying to adjust some parameters in shlp and shlp_tab, but so far with no success.
I need some pointers to either keep both views and have them use my user exit function or have only the MAT1L with matchcodes enabled.

Hi Gustavo,
Maybe you could write your restriction in search help exit(each elementrysearch help could have one exit).

Custom Search Help for Functional Area of Cost Centre(KS01/KS02)

Hi,
I need to implement a custom search help and custom enhancement for the field Functional Area in Basic Data tab of Cost Centre Create/Change(KS01/KS02) transactions. Details of the requirement are as below:
1. There will be a custom relation for the Cost Centre category and Functional Area which was maintained thru a SAP standard table TKA05 and a custom table.
2.When the relation to Cost Centre category and Functional Area is a one to one it exist in the TKA05 and if its one to many it will be maintained in the custom table.
3. The requirement is when the Cost Center to Functional area is maintained in table TKA05(One to One) in this case the corresponding Functional Area needs to be populated automatically after entering the cost centre and pressing a enter key by user.
4.When the Cost Centre Category and Functional area does not exist in table TKA05 and existing in custom table(One to Many) in this case the F4 should be enabled for user selection with the list of Functional area values corresponding to the cost centre category entered that are maintained in the custom table.
As per the functionality provided by SAP the input help(F4) of the field Functional area in Cost Center does not have any relation with Cost Centre Category. The existing F4 is from the Value Table(TFKB) attached to the domain of FKBER.
Please provide your valuable inputs to implement the above requirement. Your input will be rewareded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Prasad.

kalyani,
i can see your requirement in below way..
as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH INTERFACECONTROLLER
so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

Setting of Search help(F4) in Info Object on BI Syatem

Hi Guru's,
Please find requirement,
In R/3->
There are 3 fields displaying upon cliking of F4 search help for a particular field.
for ex: Display of 3 fileds are material no,description,created date for field material no.
But on BI only material no is displaying,so through generic extract,I tried to get descriptiopn and created date for IO material no.
whether these feilds can be displayed automatically upon cliking F4 search help on Material no, or do i need to do any setting on BI system.
Thanks In advance,

Matchcode objt and Search Help

Hi Experts

Right??
Plz correct me if i am wrong
Thanks in advance

HI

CHECK THIS
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.

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.
Thanks,
Abirami.

hi experts,
i m new to abap.
my pp consultant wants that in transaction MM03, for the field on selection screen (Material) one more search help should be added. and on pressing f4 it should be displayed there with other search options.
The search field is "(Document)-Number of the drawing that exists for this object".
Note: To see this field run transaction MM03, enter a material and press enter then we get a screen to choose a view. choose basic data2. In the block "design drawing" there is a field for "Document".

Hi ANNIE,

I will tell u how create the search help.
Name of a search help
A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
(F4 helps) can be defined.
There are the following types of search helps:
o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
possible entries.
o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
Give name as ztest and click create
There are two types of search help.
Once is elementary search help
& collective search help
Choose one.
Add the data element.
MatchCode is replaced by search helps.

Search help added in se11 in stadard table

Dear experts,
My requirement is to creat F4 help for the field Collective Number in ME21n.
   what I have to do?
And I created search help and functional module for F4 help.
how to attach this help to statndard table BSEG field KIDNO.
   thanks in advance ,
             praveen.

Goto se11
in data type : put KIDNO change mode   ... avoid the messges ....
there in theDefinition   : put your new Search Help   activate it ....
so that   it will be attached..
otherwise there so many ways of attaching the serach help   for F4 ..
Implementing search Helps
Search helps can be implemented in a variety of ways:
1 .Add to Table field Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for field
Effect: If field used to create screen field, search help will be called when user executes F4/drop down input help. All fields on screen will be populated if appropriate fields exist in search help and screen.
2.Add to Table Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for table
3.Add to Data element Added via SE11: Select desired data element (double click), enter search help name and parameters in appropriate fields on screen. Will be applied to all fields associated with that data element
4.Add to Screen field Added via screen painter: One of field attributes is search help. Will only populate the one screen field.
5.Add to Sel. screen parameter (MATCHCODE) Added using 'matchcode' addition for parameters declaration: Search help name must be no more than 5 characters long.
e.g. PARAMETER p_prog LIKE trdir-name MATCHCODE OBJECT zsh.

How to limit results in search help CV01 (incl. COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT)

Hi experts,
in transaction CV03N I want to limit the result list (table RECORD_TAB) of the search help CV01 using authority check. The user should not even see the document shorttext (from table DRAT) of some TOP SECRET documents in the F4-help result ... Actual solution: no user has rights for CV03N ... :-P
I found out, that the search help for the dynpro field DRAW-DOKNR is CV01,
including following search helps:
CV01T
CV01O
CV01C
CV01B
CV_TREX
Also there is a search help exit (function modul) COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT for CV01.
I tried to enhance the search help exit using the prepared BADI COM_SE_F4_RESULT_ITEMS, but after i did a short test with the relevant method, i found that there is something not working as i expected ...
Problem:
in the function modul COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT there is a step prepared called STEP SELECT.
* STEP SELECT    (Select values)
* This step may be used to overtake the data selection completely.
* To skip the standard seletion, you should return 'DISP' as following
* step in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
* Normally RECORD_TAB should be filled after this step.
* Standard function module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP may be very helpfull in this
* step.
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'SELECT'.                 "here i put Session BREAK-POINT
    PERFORM STEP_SELECT
              TABLES   SHLP_TAB
                       RECORD_TAB
              CHANGING SHLP
                       CALLCONTROL.
*                                      Don't process additional STEP. ..
    RETURN.
ENDIF.
But after i put a BREAK-POINT and than start CV03N, searching a document via F4 + press ENTER, no debugging (!).
I have to mention that the search help proceeded was CV01T.
Question:
can anyone explain why STEP SELECT is not proceeded in FM COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT using F4-help in transaction CV03N?
I appreciate any hint in my "search help combat"
regards
Jörg

Search Help calling screen

Hi Guys,
please.. How can a Search Help implement a "CALL SCREEN" command?
I have a problem in a ABAP WebDynpro app, apparently because the search help is calling a SCREEN from the program SAPLSZA1, and I have to undo this. It shouldn't call.
This is the error message:
"Sending of dynpro SAPLSZA1 0201 not possible: No window system type specified"
The search help is KRED.
Any idea??
Thanks!

I have tried both. Same problem..
But the real problem is that I can not reproduce this in DEV. It only happens in QAS, and i can not find what is different. All the objects that I have checked so far (Search Help, Program, etc.) have no differences.
Tks

Search help results of cost center

Hi everybody
Cost center is normally assigned to SC item based on the attribute set in PPOMA_BBP (attribute CNT). Now, when you're in the item details screen and want to change that default cost center you can search for other ones using the "glasses icon". This starts some kind of a F4 search help screen and returns a list of all available cost centers existing in the backend system.
Our SRM users are NOT created in the backend system, therefore we're not able to control cost center authorizations via backend user authorizations.
So the problem we have is, that in the result screen we get by far too much cost centers from which the enduser can make his choice. We'd like to reduce this result list to only the cost centers assigned via CNT attribute on org. unit level in PPOMA_BBP.
I already looked at BAdIs BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY and BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT (method GET_COSTCENT) and to verify if they could do what I wanted simply tried to delete all entries from table ET_COSTCENT_LIST and ET_COSTCENT_FAVOURITES... no changes, the result list still contains a complete overview of all our backend cost centers.
To all SRM gurus out there: how is it possible to restrict the result list of cost center search help?
Thanks again anyone for some help.
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Case,
We can get this functionality with out changing any standard program.
Herewith I am sending details.
1.     Implement the badi using definition BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE and write below mentioned code in method DETERMINE_DRIVER.
        IF functionname = 'B470_SHLP_CALL' AND sy-tcode NE 'PPOMA_BBP'.
functionname = 'ZB470_SHLP_CALL'.
        ENDIF.
2.     Copy the standard FM B470_SHLP_CALL to ZB470_SHLP_CALL then make
       the changes in ZB470_SHLP_CALL.
       Here you have to make two changes.
a.     Clear the destination name (LV_DESTINATION) for calling search help
                        from SRM
b.     Give your own search help name (ZCOST_CENTER we need to create this search help in SRM )
       Now it will call the search help ZCOST_CENTER from SRM only
               Sample code
          CASE shlp_field.
        WHEN gc_g_l_acct.
      lv_shlpname = 'SAKO'.
       lv_shlpparam = 'SAKNR'.
        WHEN gc_cost_ctr.
      lv_shlpname = 'ZCOST_CENTER'.
