Search Help in ECC 5.0

Hi great minds,
I am working on a project in which the most of the programs are copied from another system (Version 46C) a new system (ECC 5.0).
Here I have encountered a issue regarding search helps. In version 46C a Pooled table starting with M (for example M_ZSHLP) is used in the selection method. This table has been generated by system.
This pooled table is used in a program to select the deliveries based on some conditions.
But in ECC 5.0 I cannot creat this table since it does not fall in to the customer name space and we cannot create any table pool I assume.
Can anybody suggest me how to handle this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Well that should have read - 'There is a BAPI that does remote search helps generically'. That makes more sense. The BAPI name is BAPI_HELPVALUES_GET.

Search help of material is not working in ECC 6.0 : Urgent

Hi Friends,
I am using ECC 6.0. I have a problem in search help of material by plant. In the search help of material (choosing the tab plant material by descriptions), if i give any plant which is 3 chars long (exp. ABC) it is giving correct combination of plant material. But if i am giving a plant which is 4 chars long (exp ABCD) it firing a message saying no values found, although the combination exist. (if i am giving only material name it is showing both 3 chars and 4 chars long plant).
for ref: please use transaction MD04 and press f4 in material field and choose tab "plant material by descriptions", and give 3 chars and 4 chars long plant.
please help me to trace the problem or any OSS note.
correct answer will be awarded.
I will appreciate to not giving code of search helps because it is a standard SAP functionality that is not working.

Krishnendu

Krishnendu,
Please check your SAPGui frontend i think you are using 7.10 patch level 3.? if not try with some other system that have 7.10 patch level 3.

Transferring Search Help values from ECC 6.0 to SRM 7.0

Hi SAP experts,
I have a requirement to display the search help values for a data element in ECC 6.0 into the custom data element that I created on SRM 7.0.
Is there a BAPI that I can use to retrieve the values for a search help element (for example SH_ANLKA) from the the ECC into SRM?
Your advise would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I have got a similar requirement to fetch the PO details from ECC search help to a new SRM search help. Please help me with the procedure you used for the above scenario.
Thanks,

Search Help Exit for ECC 6.0

Greetings,
I'm working in ECC 6.0. I'm trying to create a Help screen exit using F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE as a model. The problem is that it will not compile due to the fact that a 'LIKE' parameter type is used in the function definition tables tab. This is not allowed in 6.0.
I've tried several work arounds without success. I have search for a 6.0 version of this function without success.
Does anyone have a solution?
rv

Hi Richard,
We too are running ECC 6.0 (release 701) and the LIKE definition doesn't cause a problem in our system. Maybe it has to do with a particular support pack level. Anyway, since you have presumably copied F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to a custom function module, you can manually change the typing of the Changing parameter. I tried this below and the search help exit executes as expected.
If this doesn't resolve the issue for you, you may want to repost your question to the ABAP Development community.
Cheers,
Amy

Search Help problem in IT0033 (Statistics) in ECC 6

Hi All,
Iu2019m facing an error when trying to update the Statistics in HR Master Data.
I enter the Personnel no. and Infotype 33 (Statistics) and press Display button. It takes you to Display Statistics Screen.
The error occurs when I hit the dropdown button of the second line of Statistical Exceptions.
Letu2019s say that I have two Statistics (01 and 02) and the Statistical exceptions for each one.
When I hit the dropdown button to see the Statistical exceptionsu2019 list for the Statistics 01, the Search Help brings only the Statistical exception related to this Statistics (01). But, when I do the same thing for Statistics 02, the Search Help brings me all the Statistical exceptions, not only values related to Statistic 02.
Debugging the program I could see that for each dropdown the debug starts in a different point of the program.
Someone please could help me?
Thanks.

Hi Muralidaran,

Veeranji Reddy P.

Scenarion:
1. table with 2 fields.
2. table maintenance generator.
3. Function group with one screen(0001-mentioned in table maintenance) created.
4. For one field on table maintenance generator...where we add new entries to table, i want a search help.
Conditions : only coding has to be done..no search helps I can use.
Coding where and what?
one option is to code on the screen 0001- either in PBO/PAI.

Custom Search help in Record Working Time

Hi,
We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Pradeep

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Conversion of External material with Internal using search help

Hi,
We are working on ECC 6.0 for automotive company and have following scenario.
One OE (External/Customer) material number (MARA-BISMT) with more than one internal material number (MARA-MATNR). This has been done because same customer material is sold by delar for different brands, for exmaple BMW, Ford, Opel. Therefore we have different internal materials with respective brands with same external number in material master.
Business requirement is, all correspondence with customer or vendor should be done using external/customer material number.
Whereas all internal business process should use internal SAP material number.
For example as given below
External No. --> Internal No.
BMW-1 --> 1001 (Brand - BMW)
BMW-1 --> 1002 (Brand - Ford)
BMW-1 --> 1003 (Brand - Opel)
Now the requirement is that user will create document, for example PO or SO, with external/customer material number. While
doing that user should get a pop up screen after entering external material number, if external material is attached/corresponds to multilple internal material number. Then user will selects correct internal number from pop up screen and return to document screen but material field should displayed with external material number.
For example in above case, user will enter BMW-1. Pup up screen will have three internal numbers 1001, 1002 and 1003. User selects 1003 but after material conversion material field of the document will displayed as BMW-1.
We are using Customer enhancement - "MGA00003 Material Master (Industry and Retail): Number Display" for input/ouput conversion.
Also we have created Elementary Search Help - SEARCH_OE_NUMBER with Hot Key "Q". This search help is included into
collective search help "MAT1_A" so that user can able to see multiple internal material number by entring customer material number.
We are able to convert external material number with internal material number and put the external material while creating PO. But when we add another item in PO, search help is getting called again and again for first line item even after conversion of matrial has been taken place.
How we can avoid this multiple calling of serach help?
Is there any better way to achieve this requirement?
Please help us.
Thanks,

We have resolved this issue by redesigning material master data.

Populating error message based on search help

Hi team,
How can we populate error message in a shopping cart account assignment "order " field for the bellow two senarios. I am adding a custom field called "Operational Activity" in account assignment. based on which search help has to be done
the 2 senarios are
1. When user does not select the "Order" but tries to search for the operational activity, he should get error .
2. When user selects the "Order" and this order has an operational activity linked to it, then give error message to input the OA The logic will be to do a RFC call to ECC by sending the SRM Order number BBP_PDACC-ORDER_NO to ECC table AFKO and see if there is AUFPL.

Hi Anshu,
Thank for u replay.
yes it can be done using doc_check_badi, but my question is how can we display error message by comparing search help values.
if user is not entering value of order field and select search help for custom operational activity field how it can be done in check badi.

Calling a standard search help from MS Office

One of the companies I work for has integration with Microsoft Office so users can create SAP DMS (document management system for those who aren't familiar with it) entries directly from e.g. Microsoft Word. The integration solution is a custom .Net application.
In addition to the obvious integration to create the DMS info record and assign the document as an original the integration solution lets the user provide classification data. Some changes are now being planned, and one of them is challenging as a new characteristic (for the classification) will be used to store an organization unit. This is straightforward when the user is in the SAP GUI, as the standard search help can easily be displayed from custom code.
Being a technology optimist I was hoping that with the new fancy technologies SAP would have provided a way to use .NET integration to display a standard search help from the MS Office integration dialogue - but so far I have not been able to find any information supporting this hope. Luckily I am not the developer working with the integration dialogue, but unless the mentioned possibility exists it looks like we have to resort to passing all organization units to the interface so a hierarchy can be constructed and displayed to the user for selection.
Another alternative (I think) is to recreate the dialogue as a web dynpro screen, which will give us all the advantages of operating "inside" SAP. However, I am not sure if this is possible either. Can a web dynpro screen be called from an MS Office application (.Net), and can that web dynpro screen return values to the (external) calling application? In my simple view of the world this should be doable, if not otherwise it should at least be possibly by wrapping the screen in a function module that is exposed so the .Net application can call it - either by RFC or as a web service.
Microsoft Office version is 2003.
SAP release is ECC 6.0 (Netweaver 7.0).
I think this is the right forum for my question. My apologies if it isn't (and any guidance towards a more appropriate forum would then be appreciated).

Not solvable I suppose. There should be a way to close messages without marking them as answered.

GL Account Search Help Issue

We want to change the standard search help of GL Account in the Shopping Cart line item.
Currently it fetches the value from ECC backend but we need to utilise a custom search help from SRM system.
Pease let me know how do we do this.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can do this with WD dynamic programming.
You can do with domodifyview badi for accounting component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.
You need to handle both views 'V_DO_ACCOUNTING' and 'V_DO_ACCOUNT_DETAIL' in the domodifyview badi implementation.
I am sending the sample code. How to attach the custom search help dynamically.
DATA lo_nd_comp_context    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

Search help for field in ABAP Query

Hi Experts,
For a particular field in standard table the search help(F4) is not maintained in the table level, which is used in a ABAP query.
Is there any possibilities for user-defined Search help using InfoSet or Query?
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Balaganesh.

Hi Bala,
I understand your question better now. Since you mention standard selections I assume that your InfoSet is based on a logical database instead of a table join, direct read, or custom data retrieval program. You are correct that the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST logic I mentioned earlier will not work for the standard selections of a logical database. The system gives you an error when generating your InfoSet if you try to use the standard selection name (in ECC 5.0 at least). I've tried various tricks to attempt to get it to work, but so far no luck.
You could, of course, use a different logical database as your InfoSet basis (e.g. VAV has a matchcode on VBAK-VBELN) or create your own data retrieval program and change your InfoSet to use the custom program instead of a logical database. In the second case you wouldn't need to deal with standard selections at all. I understand that these solutions are probably not what you need and, in the case of the custom data retrieval program, would be more complex (it may not be worth it to write a custom program just to allow F4 help... or maybe it would be... just depends).
Please keep us updated if you find a way to do it. I'll also report back if I happen to discover a way.
Best Regards,
Jamie
