Search Help for transaction code KE53

Hi Experts,
I want to add one more elementary search help in already existing search help PRCT for tcode KE53.
This is a collective search help. I am trying to create an elem. searh help which includes 3 input fields
Profit Center (PRCTR), Text desc. of Profit Center (LTEXT), and Company Code (BUKRS). But the problem is PRCTR & BUKRS are in table CEPC_BUKRS and PRCTR & LTEXT in table CEPC. Then how do i club the 3 in a single elem help. Do i have to use Search Help Exit. I have created a FM in which i have written a select query as follows:
SELECT APRCTR ALTEXT B~BUKRS
       FROM CEPCT AS A
       INNER JOIN CEPC_BUKRS AS B
       ON APRCTR = BPRCTR
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB.
ITAB is the table in FM. The FM also includes the changing parameters :SHLP & CALLCONTROL and tables SHLP_TAB & RECORD_TAB (but i dont know the use of the parameters). How do i proceed.
I dont have any idea about search help exits. Also there is no table which includes PRCTR, BUKRS and LTEXT.

Hi,
No need to write a search help exit. You can instead give a database view in the selection method. This database view can be a join on the tables CEPC and CEPC_BUKRS.
Refer to the search help PRCTN which uses a database view as the selection method.
Since this is a standard search help, you will have to use append search help technique. Refer to this link for [enhancing the standard search help|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1f/29ef5777df11d2959800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm].

How to build search help for company code (BUK) in SRM

Hello,
I am new to SRM and was wondering if any have come across similar requirement. I am a workflow developer and we are building a custom table to derive deadline escalation timelines. We are also adding a field in our custom table for company code so that we can have company specific deadlines. table T001 is empty in SRM and hence we are unable to use F4 (search help). Is there existing functionality in SRM that gets this search from the backend ECC system and displays when F4 is pressed. How can I use that functinoality?
Appreciate any info folks.
Thanks again.
Samir

Search Help for Company Code from Backend

Hi experts,
How can I make a SH for company code from backend system? I already made a SH for account assigments from backend with USAGE_SH_F4 functioanality, but i don't know whether I can use it for Company code or not? And how?
Best Regards,
Mikhail.

I need functionality where I will manually maintain backend system, and then I need bind search help for this backend system with my input field for web dynpro. For Account Assignment I use this: http://scn.sap.com/community/srm/blog/2014/01/08/standard-account-assignment-search-helps-in-custom-srm-developments

Search help for transaction XD02

Hi experts,
For the transaction XD02(change customer screen),when i select the customer from f4 help,the customer number is not being auto populated in the screen.so could you please tell me how to rectify this.
Thanks in advance
Akmal

Hi,
This is the standard behaviour. When you select F4, it will throw you a selection screen. Based on the inputs you give in the selection screen, it will give you the list of customers. Based on that value, you can select the customers you want to change.
Hope this helps you.

Search help for field in Standard Transaction

Hi Experts,
      We have a requirement to have an F4 search help for a standard field .
( Plant, werks, Tx AS01 ). This field is not associated with any standard search help, but it throws F4 values programmatically .
   We need to associate a standard search help ( BETR_BUKRS ) with this Plant field.
1. How to proceed abt it ( As it is a part of module program , can we straight away associate with the search help in the property ) ,it is a field of standard Transaction .
2. If we include search help above, what will happen to the already existing F4 functionality ? Can we have both in tabs ?
   Thanks a lot,
~Abap Lover

Hi Seshatal,
     Thanks for the input, but this field does NOT have any ON VALUE REQUEST event associated with it ....
   as soon as F4 is hit, it goes to Function help_start ,so I don't think we can make any changes here as it is standard .
   I think including a standard search help will help....how to achieve this ?
Thanks,

Prasad, you know, when I search forum for answers, I'm really disappointed when I see people have found a solution but don't share, and as the thread was maybe one year old or later, I don't feel to ask because the guy probably don't remember what he did.

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

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.

Dynamic search help for one field of the SM30 generated maintenance view

Hi experts,
I have one Z* table with three fields. For that table I have generated maintenance dialog in SE55 so I can now run the maintenance in SM30. My requirement is: as soon as a user enters a value for the first field, the search help for the second field should be depended on the value in the first field. Let's say when user entered value 01 into the first field then the search help for the second field should be S_HLP01. For other values entered into the first screen the search help for the second field should be S_HLP02. Both search helps are standard (the names differ).
Is there any change how to achieve this without making completely new dynpro transaction?

Hi ,
You can try it this way.
pass your match-code( search help to function ) HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_MATCHCODE and get the value and update it in your screen field.
But you have to modify the flow logic in POV event. it would be better if you create your own transaction because once the maintenance is regenerated your modified flow logic will vanish

Search Help for Cost center

Hi All,
I have 2 questions
1) we dont have any default cost center maintained any where in the org-structure (PPOMA_BBP), howeverwhenever I go for shopping I can see a cost center along with GL account, ( I know GL acct is coming from "determine GL account for prod-cat" settings in IMG), but what about cost center where is it coming from ??
2) second, when we do search help for cost center's in shopping application, we are able to see all cost centers from the back end which I guess is good, but we can see even those cost centers which are blocked!!!, why is this happening ??,
Thanks.

Hello,
For First::
In general the CO Area (here: cost center) is derived from R/3 Backend Enterprise
Structure and should be re-determined if another acc. objects is
entered that belongs to a different CO Area. Please also check the
settings in R/3 Backend IMG, path:
->Enterprise Structure ->Assignment ->Controlling
->Assign company code to controlling area
The company code is assigned to the CO Area through the following
assignment:
->Materials Management
->Assign purchasing organization to company code
The CO Area is in general the organizational object in
highest (CO) level. Assignments to other MM/CO objects are located
in lower Enterprise hierarchy level. Hence, the CO Area does not
change if a different CO object of a lower level (here: cost center)
is assigned to a SRM document.
For Second::
The only possibility I see is to set the message to error message in
the customizing in the backend. The message number is KI 170. When you
look at the long text of this message in transaction SE91 in the
backend, you will find the description where to look in the customizing.
When you have set this message to ERROR, then no purchase order will be
created in the backend. Instead the shopping basket gets the status
'ERROR' and the administrator will recieve a work item in his inbox.
Then he can check the backend and either post the purchase orders again
after solving the problem, or he can delete the shopping baskets.
Please check the note for more infos or the documentation.
Setting the message KI 170 to error message will solve your problem.
See note 333136. I would think that if you create
a PO directly in the backend if you do not have the message configured
as and error you will be able to create the PO.
I hope this information helps.
Kind regards,
Gaurav

Search Help for Vendor Feild not getting populated in the Screen Element

Hi Everyone,
In transaction Miro, I get a POP-UP for Invoicing Party i.e. Vendor and Users required a custom search help.
The Search help for Vendor(LIFNR) is KRED_C and i appended a Z search help under this.
Now that the search help exists and I can drill down the values too but when i select/choose any value, that value is not getting populated in Screen feild.
is there any validation I need to do for this.
Please suggest me... I checked SDN there are many things but i couldn't figure out wat i need to do and where I need to modify.
Regards,
Raj

Dear Hema,
Could you please tell me how many internal tables you are using to store the data for display.
I observerd that you have lt_stock and lt_mat2 declared in the part of the program
>DATA: lv_stock TYPE lty_stock.
>DATA: ltmat2 TYPE TABLE OF lty_mat.
you have displayed above, however you are also using ls_stock and lv_stock .
>IF p_ztotal = ' '. "line
>WRITE 18 ls_stock-matnr.
>WRITE 38 lv_stock-strgr.
>
>ELSEIF ztotal = 'S'.                             "subtotal
    >WRITE: 15 ls_stock-nrmit.
    >WRITE 32 lv_stock-dispo.
    >WRITE 43 lv_stock-fevor.
>ELSE.                                            "total
    >WRITE: 15 'TOTAL'(016), ls_stock-prgrp.
>
>ENDIF.
Are those for displaying some other information?
Also the problem of display you are facing can also be because there are no records to be displayed which satisfies the selection criteria.
Best Regards,
Rajesh.
