Search Help modification

Dear Experts,
I need to modify KRED_C search help as i need to get the list of all vendors where LOEVM (Central Deletion Flag for Master Record) field of LFA1 is blank..
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Regards

I hope p KRED_C is a collective search help....
select the search help where you want to add the condition....In the elementary search help screen you will have the selection method in the data collection tab.
just double click it will take you to the database view there in the selection condition tab you can mention the condition
table - field name - oerpator (EQ) - for blank ' '.
Make sure the field which you are using should be there in the view fields and the table should be there in the table/join condition.
activate the database view and search help.
hope it will help you

I created a custom search help (ZSH001) and appended in PERM coll search help.
For field PERNR in selection screen need to have only one searchhep ZSH001 when I use F4 on pernr in selectin screen.

How to change the desription of a standard SAP field in the Search Help

Hi All,
In Table T023T there is a field WGBEZ60(Long text describing the material group) and the data element of the field is WGBEZ60.
Requirement is to change the description of the field WGBEZ60.The desription of the field is - Description 2 for the material group.
But the user want as - Description for the material group. He dont want 2 in the description.
we are using this field in the search help of Material group for the transaction ME21N and ME51N.
So please tell me how can we change the description of the field in the Search help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Peeyush

As search help uses data element , it shows its keyword. So you have to do modification to that keyword.
- Go to CMOD
- from top menu GOTO -> Text enhancements -> Keywords -> Change -> type WGBEZ60 -> change the description -> Save and add it to transport
- now use that data element either on the screen or search help. It will have the descripiton modified.
Regards
Marcin

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

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

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.

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.

Search help for field in SM30

Hi Experts,
This is a Z table with first field as GROUP and second field as KEY.
User can select values for first field using a search help. It has three possibel entries
1. Purchasing Org
2. Region
3. Coutnry
In second field the user has to enetr value based on selection in first field, for eg. if 1 is chosen in 1st field user will enter name of a purchasing organisation.
Can we dispay a search help for second field based on the selection in first field?
Like if 1 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Purchasing Org
if 2 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Region....in SM30?
How can we achieve this?
Thank you,
Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,
1.Go to the table maintenance generator screen from SE11 (Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator).
2. In the Table maintenance generator screen , navigate to Environment -> Modifications -> Maintenance Screens
3. Select and Edit the screen where you need this new search help
4. Create a Process on Value Request module for your second field at the end of the screen flow logic after MODULE LISTE_AFTER_LOOP.
5. In the POV module, use funcntion DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen
6. Fill your own table with the values for field 2 based on field 1 and display selection using the function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
Hope this helps.

Steps for creation of search help exit for a search help

Hi,
I have created a search help. I need to create a search help exit for this search help.
Please let me know how to create a search help exit as well as how to link it to my search help.

1)Copy the FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to write your own FM. (check the documentation and coding of FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE).
2)write your code depending upon the functionality you want.
3)attach the FM in search help through SE11 in "search help exit" field.

Logical Database - PNPCE - Hide 'Org Structure' 'Search Help' etc buttons

Hi,
We have created a report by making a z copy of RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES. In the Z version we need to hide the buttons on the titlebar of the selection screen.
Buttons are
- Org Structure
- Search Help
- Dynamic Selection
- Selection Fields.
Can you please suggest if I can do something from the code ?
Regards,
Chiranjeevi.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, there is no title bar method that we can modify to remove the buttons. I have created a Z report Category by copying the existing one and made the modifications.
In that we can hide/display UI elements which are displayed by Logical Database.

Chiranjeevi.

'Screen Group' in Screen Painter, & 'Search help Exit'

Hii All,
1. What is 'Screen Group' in Screen Painter
attributes. In which Scenario we will go for it.
2. What is 'Search help Exit'.
Please post your messages and guide me in this topic,
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi John,
A Search help exit is something similar to a user exit. Every search help will have an option of attaching a search help exit under the definition tab( when you view the search help from se12).
For example take a look at the search help VMVA - you will notice a search help exit SD_F4_SHLP_EXIT_SUBSHLP_CHOOSE attached to it.
Basically the serah help exit which is nothing but a function module with a predefined interface which gets triggered before a f4 help is displayed. The exit is used to supress or do any other related modification required.
We have implemented many search help exits and the reason is that we have given a custom interface to our business partners to carry out some transaction on our SAP systems. Though we have given them access to our SAP system we also want to ensure that the business partner does not view any additional data in the system. We have controlled this via many ways like using z objects, using authorizations etc. Still once the user has authorizations to any transaction he or she can do a f4 help on any field and see the data which he should not be able to do. So we have implemented search help exits to supress the drop down only for the business partners. We control this based on the unique login id's we have given to them.
So in short it is used to modify the behaviour of F4 help, mostly used to supress the drop down.
It has to be defined in a specific format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

How to include a date range in Search Help

Hi All,
I need to include a range for a date field in a Search help.
That is I have to add From Field and To Field for the same field in the search help.
Please advise.
Regards.

If you are going to add an entirely new field (not existing in the SAP standard search), try using EEWB and for the query on that field would be a modification to the Model access class.

@Dhiraj: Not true (again).
To the OP, I'm not sure why you would want to remove such a useful function from the screen. However, you can overtake the selection and display process entirely with a search help exit if that's your desire. For more information, read the documentation on search help exits.

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Hello,
this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
Just to show what's my problem:
Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
All this can be done modification free by appends.
The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
But I want avoid this modification.
So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

Collective search help in PA30

Hi Experts,
I have followed the below steps to add new field in the Collective search help in PA30.
1. Collective srch hlp for Employee is - PREM and the Elementary srch hlp for 'Last name - First name' is PREMN.
2. You can change standard search help without access key. So you have to change PREMN.
3. Selection Method used for PREMN is M_PREMN. Copy M_PREMN to ZM_PREMN.
4. In Database view ZM_PREMN, add field RUFNM(Nick Name) in View Flds Tab.
5. Assign Selection Method ZM_PREMN to PREMN.
6. In secarh help parameter assign SPos filed 3 for newly added RUFNM(Nick Name).
I have copied Selection method M_PREMJ into ZM_PREMJ. From SE11 selected radio button u2018Viewu2019 and entered ZM_PREMJ then selected Change button.
A new window pope up with options u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 and u2018Change orig. languageu2019.
If I select u2018Change orig. languageu2019 then I am getting the following error
View ZM_PREMJ contains inactive components
If I select u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 then it will allowing for modifications. But when I activate I am getting following errors:
Check view ZM_PREMJ (SAPUSER/01.08.11/13:02)
View field ZM_PREMJ-PERNR (domains of the data elements not equal)
Key field PA0002-OBJPS missing
Key field PA0002-SEQNR missing
Key field PA0002-SPRPS missing
Key field PA0002-SUBTY missing
All fields are evaluated as key field
View ZM_PREMJ is not consistent
Please guide me in adding a new field in PA30 Collective Search Help.

Deepthi

Hi Suman,
Yes, it is activated now with some warning messages.
After this in SE11, I have selected radio button u2018Search Helpu2019 and entered u2018PREMNu2019.
And clicked on u2018Changeu2019 button, then I have two options u2018Maint in orig. lang,u2019 and u2018Main. in logon langu2019.
I have selected u2018Main. in logon lang; (which option to be selected??)
And replaced Selection method u2018M_PREMNu2018with ZM_PREMN, then activated.
It was activated with warning and following are adjusted.
SHLP EHS00SHLP_PREM was adjusted
SHLP HREHS00PERSINTEXT was adjusted
SHLP LO_OIF_PARTNER was adjusted
SHLP PREM was adjusted
SHLP PTRM_PREM_WEB was adjusted
Up to here is fine, but when I tested in PA30 Collective search help, I can able to see new field u2018Nick Name but it is not working.

Deepthi
