Search option in catalog selection in maintenance notification item, object

Dear Experts,
I have a problem to search & choose the relevent catalog codes in maintenance notification item, in catalog selection pop up when F4 done on object part. Is there any setting to find the relevent codes from the cataloge selection screen or any setting for the FIND option availabilty on the catalog selection pop up.
We are using ECC 5.0.
Kindly provide the solution.
Regards,
Tushar

Tushar,
Your emphasis is on Relevant Codes. This means codes relevant to the Technical Object (Equipment or Functional Location)
For this purpose only SAP has given the functionality Catalog Profile.
Create a Catalog Profile (OQN6) in which you mention the codes relevant to the technical object.
Now mention this Catalog Profile in the Organisation tab of the Technical object. (Equipment or Functional Location).
After this whenever you create a notification on such Equipments/FLs, you will get only those catalogs which you've mentioned in the Catalog Profile
Hope this helps you.

Jogeswara Rao
PS: Creating a catalog Profile is a IMG activity, which you have to do in Client 200> generate a request> and transport this request to the client of your working.

Find option for Catalog Selection

Hi All
In transaction code QS42, there is no FIND option for Catalog Selection list. Please advice whether it is possible to provide find option for catalog selection.
thanks
Ravindra Suvarna

Hello Ravindra,
In the transaction QS42, there is F4 help for Catalog.
You can give serach parameters there and get the required catalog.
Other than this if you want to change the selction parameters of the transaction QS42, then following are the steps -
1. Tcode - QS42
2. Menu Catalogs -> Selected Sets -> Display
3. Selection screen will change accordingly. You can revert back to original screen similar way by the menu Selected Sets.
If the above doesn't solve your query, plz elobarate your query.

How to supress the defaulted search option in catalogs

Hello,
This might be a long shot but I have the following situation:
In a shopping cart a user picks a material from Catalog X , category Y. The next time he opens the catalog X, directly the same category Y is diplayed in the search, in other words, SRM remembers the last search of the user and defaults it. We would like that everytime the user enters the catalog X, it starts the search from zero (with all the categories displayed).
Can we supress this automatic default in the search from the Catalog? Is there a user attribute which provokes the defaulting?
We use CCM 2.0 and SRM 5.0
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hi Aart,
There is no specific 'fix' for this in CCM 2.0, but in CCM 1.0 the functionality was provided.
Please review note [794163|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=794163] and decide if you wish to modify the system to react as you desire.
This functionlaity was never transferred to CCM 2.0 as it was deemed to be the incorrect way to handle the search UI and the original, last items displayed, approach was taken.

Jason

Search Function in Variable selection field

Hi all!
For some reason the search option in the selecting filters screen doesn't work for all of our characteristics.
It can find materials ok, but we don't seem to be able to search for customers or some other fields. This in on BI7, and I'm definitely using the right case and the Text field to search on.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rhys

Does anyone have an idea how we could fix this issue?

One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

Hi,
I need a way to use one search help for multiple select-options fields. My scenario is :
I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT
ADS     $WERKS     1     T     Werk 0001
ADS     $WERKS     11     T     OZYAS GIDA URETIM YERI
ADS     $WERKS     5501     T     BOYA GEBZE FABRİKASI
ADS     $WERKS     5502     T     BOYA CIGLI FABRİKASI
AGT     $WERKS     2301     T     KAMLI DAMIZLIK
AGT     $WERKS     9601     T     PANAR DENIZ URETIM YERI
ADS     $VKORG     22     T     AA KİMYASALLAR
ADS     $VKORG     8001     T     İINSAAT BOYALARI
AGT     $VKORG     6500     T     DAMk St.Org
AGT     $VKORG     5400     T     PANAR St.Org.
I wish I'm clear enough..
I will be gald if someone answers me as soon as possible...
Thanks İn advance..

Hi,
Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
Am I right ?
If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
Hope this helps.

Hai Saslove,
I think Problem Lies In this Area When U r Creating   Search Helps.
Import and Export Parameters
When an input help is called, the entries that the user already made in the input template are taken into consideration. For example, if a user calls the input help for the flight number and already specified the carrier, of course only the numbers of flights of this carrier should be offered.
On the other hand, if the user selects one row of the hit list, more than one field of the input template might have to be filled with data from the selected row of the hit list. For example, if the flight number is obtained from the hit list, the city of departure and the destination should also be returned in the screen template.
The interface of a search help defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned in the input template.
A parameter of a search help can be classified as:
Import parameters: Parameters with which context information from the processed input template (screen) may be copied to the help process.
Export parameters: Parameters with which values from the hit list may be returned to the input template.
A parameter can simultaneously be an input and an export parameter. A search help can also contain parameters that are neither import nor export parameters. Such parameters could be required for the internal input help process, for example.
When you attach a search help, you must define where the import parameters of the search help get their values from and the fields in which the contents of the export parameters are returned. See also Value Transport for Input Helps.

Search help for PERNR select options in Webdynpro

Hi,
I am using the method: lv_r_helper_class->add_selection_field
and passing the value:
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_SEARCHHELP
to get search help for pernr select option in the webdynpro application.
But can anyone please tell me what value i have to pass to
i_value_help_id              = ??

hi,
pass your search help name there so that your desired search help ll come there..
use this,
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_SEARCHHELP
i_value_help_id              = 'SEARCHHELPNAME'
if you want standard SH means comment this stmt,
if you dont want SH means,
use tis,
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_NONE
hope this helps,

Skip the Creation of Maintenance Notification

I would like to know the effect if i will skip or remove the process of creation of Maintenance notification in SAP PM. The process will start with the creation of Order, if there's an external service required the Maintenance Order will be converted into PO if no external service or material will close the Order.
Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction.
What would be the effect of this, thanks and God bless.

Greetings Peach,
As the experts, who had already answered observed, this is purely a business process consideration. If your (Client's) organization supports a "streamlined" process in which direct Order creation is beneficial you can go for it.
As you've written "Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction." I assume you are still using Notification and Order integration. But as Yogesh Dhokne mentioned, this is optional as well.
If you choose to create a Notification in the background, you can still register breakdown times for MTTF/MTBF calculations, Catalog Codes for tracking and any additional information once the Orders are created.
But consider this: How is work requested, released for execution and reported? If you only create Orders, you have only Orders to go on. Therefore, you might require more verbose User Status management, and you may find yourself with Orders that are being created unnecessarily and have to be closed, Orders being released prematurely... You have to have a very "flat" process around this immediate Order creation.
On the other hand, consider that having Notifications created prior means a more "deep" process and more overhead, but you can have a step to filter works to be released on the Notification level before Orders are created, if you have more than one Notification for the same work, you can assign it to a single Order, and you have more options when designing roles and authorizations, since you can separate access and business transactions for Notifications and Orders for your Operations and Maintenance users, if necessary.
Please ask further questions if you have any!

Restrict Equipment Search Options to only "Equipments by equipment list"

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to restrict Equipment Search Options to only "Equipments by equipment list" in all PM related transactions like maintenance plan, order, notification, measuring point, etc.,
We would like to put a hard stop on that option and restrict users from accessing (preferably not to even display other options) other options like "Equipment by Cost center", etc.,
Appreciate immediate response to this issue.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi PM_User_2009,
The Equipment Search Options can be restricted by two ways.
1) If the restricted search option required in all transactions where you are using equipment field,
Edit the search help collecting search help 'EQUI' in SE11, Flag the checkbox for all the search helps in the 'Included Search helps' tab except the 'Equipment by Equipment list' search help (EQUIL).
2) If you want for particular transaction or program,
Use the search help exit 'PM_HLP_PREVENT_RECURSION'.
ABAPer can help you for both the options.

Multiple select options validation at selection screen

Hi,
I have the requirement to create a selection screen with 3 select options. Two of them are cross-dependent. It is mandatory to fill one of them and it is not allowed to fill both. The third one is optional. I tried the validation at selection-screen on block... and I have a problem that search help buttons for select options react like execution buttons, when I press any of them I am getting one of errors instead of search help.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Here is my code:
DATA:
      so_rbkp TYPE rbkp,
      so_mseg TYPE mseg.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK blok WITH FRAME.
SELECT-OPTIONS:
        s_fakt   FOR so_rbkp-belnr,
        s_matdok FOR so_mseg-mblnr,
        s_god FOR so_mseg-gjahr.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK blok.
INITIALIZATION.
SET TITLEBAR '0100'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on block blok.
      if s_fakt <> space and s_matdok <> space.
        MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
      elseif s_fakt = space and s_matdok = space.
        MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
      endif.
    ENDIF.

Only perform the check when user wants to execute or submit the program, not when pressing F4 or even Enter, but in a selection-screen event, before START-OF-SELECTION which were program would terminate in error :
TABLES: SSCRFIELDS.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OB BLOCK b01.
    IF sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'ONLI'
    OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'PRIN'
    OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'SJOB'.
      IF s_fakt[] IS NOT INITIAL AND s_matdok IS NOT INITIAL.
        MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
      ELSEIF s_fakt[] IS INITIAL and s_matdok[] IS INITIAL.
        MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
(You could also always send the message, but using type 'E' for those function code and 'S' status for any other value.)
Regards,
Raymond

Why is there no "SEARCH OPTION" in the Windows Store? Apps missing be nice if I could find them !

Since on this journey from Win 8 consumer preview to Win 8 retail preview ..And no currently trying out Win 8 Pro...It verified if it was gonna give me back ( allowed to re-download ) the apps I was used/had in previous editions. The Store gives you
a selection of YOU APPS from previous versions of the OS preview of apps you installed and currently would want to reinstall. Various versions of the Consumer preview I installed 2 out the 4 times i installed the OS seen I had installed the app Comixology.
When the first time I installed Retail preview it didn't have it in my list nor was it listed in the store! Same goes with Iheart Radio and Slacker Radio though numerous installments of the OS. Now trying out the Win 8 Pro 9200 version It showed I at
one point no matter what PC I used ( I own a few and bought a new one recently ) It showed at one point I installed Comixology. Yet it didn't show Iheart Radio or Slacker in my install list of old to reinstall nor was it even in the Store!!!! \\\So
what the hell gives ????? I mean If there was a SEARCH Option it would make it easier to track these Metro ( whatever they are calling it now -personally I think they should call it FRAMES as in Window Frames :P When you go on these
programs sites they only offer up Apple or Android app downloads and nothing mentioning of Metro or Win 8 -which is understandable due to not being released yet but still if the Store can't comply with your history of app install base ( paid or free ) and
you can't have the ability to retrieves said apps you once installed how can that be trusted if and when paid apps are bought if you are only to reinstall the entire OS and find that your app is not obtainable via offered through the main store or even in
your downloads app install history. I hope they fix this issue as it's been pissing me off since this whole testing thing!!

Sorry if I offended you by using an anecdote - the actions of kids are simply an easy way to explore the actions of adults. Growing up doesn't change base instincts. Most people (myself included) tend to have an immediate distrust of change when
it is not change that they are instigating, when it is forced upon them. What better example is there than a child, where many big decisions are made for them?
As for the new interface, I didn't catch on until it was revealed to me (or I hit my head against the wall, can't remember), so I'm not saying it is easy. Better education is needed, but going back to the old way doesn't help. The five or six
questions I have answered today are questions that I myself had, and wished someone had answered for me. This is a
drastic change from old versions of Windows. I even told my boss yesterday that I can't see his company (I'm a contractor) switching any time soon - too much new stuff to learn. That being said, once there are some good training tools available,
I do believe that this OS will be a good choice - it does feel more intuitive after only a few days of use. A training course is likely necessary for new users, however my guess is that this will wind up being a beneficial change (long-run)
for IT departments, because the system does feel more aimed towards the casual user. No matter what program you use, the search and settings are in one easy place.
I admittedly do not have a lot of files in my Skydrive, however the file that is there is purple, while the folders are blue. Not sure if all files are like that, and I really do not have the time to explore those differences. That being said,
the number in the bottom-right seems pretty self-explanatory, the number of child elements in the container. I barely remember the old Skydrive interface, however I do remember it felt clunky. Whether or not the changes are a true
improvement, it does feel more streamlined.
Metro (or whatever it is called now) is confusing. It is scary. (My word, not yours, nor am I trying to imply it.) It is definitely
different from the past. But it makes sense. Same interface on every MS product: Xbox, Windows, and Phone. Microsoft didn't exactly
pioneer this idea, either. Apple has been creeping in that direction for a while now. As I said previously, I can move around faster in the new Start menu than I could in the old, and I can actually do
more without ever putting a hand on the mouse - for anyone that is waist-deep in computers, regardless of their specific job, that tends to be a
good thing.
There are a lot of growing pains here, for both Microsoft and the consumer. Has MS gotten it right? Not yet, not entirely, but the goal is clear.
If your complaint is on broken
functionality, then I wouldn't disagree with you. There is plenty of that, and I think it was a bit foolish of Microsoft not to have a Connect site up for such things. (If I'm wrong on that, and there is one, please point me that way. I'm
still stuck with Explorer.exe crashing from click-scrolling.)
As for disliking the big changes, well, I can't agree with you on that at all. Again, it wasn't an easy transition, but now that I'm here, I don't want to go back. I want the true
bugs fixed, but not having a search bar seems more like being stuck on old ways of doing things than a real problem. That kind of thing can even lead to puking.
