SRM search help is restricted to 100 hits

Under default settings, the search help for eg. attibute LAG displays only 100 hits for the user, although more entries are maintained in the org structure. This also occurs when the user selects similar attributes during the creation of the shopping cart. The search help used is BBP_STORAGE_VALUE, which uses a search help exit function module called BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_STORAGE which explicitly in certain situations sets a limit of 500. Why are only 100 hits displayed for the user - could this be a template issue?

Our Basis guys followed the steps below:
Add the following parameter to the sap instance profile
itsp/SearchhelpResultPerPage = 1000
Do this either through RZ10 or directly at the filesystem level and change the 1000 value, that we used, to be greater than the maximum number of records that need to be returned
Restart the SAP instance and then check in RZ11 that the value is changed from the default (which is 100). Finally check that the search is now reurning the required number of results.

Preventing Blocked Cost Center in SRM Search help

Hi All ,
We need to prevent the blocked cost centers in the search help in SRM .
I checked the BADI'S
BBPF4_READ_ON_ENTRY_
BBPF4_READ_ON_EXIT_ and method GET_COSTCENT. but both of these will not trigger when we give the cost center in search help and press start.
so is there any other BADI or Customer exit for this requriment.
Please help
Regards
Channappa

Hello,
These BADI can not be used for this kind of search help, as this is an R/3 search help and not an SRM search help.

Search help entries restriction

Hi Friends,
I have created an elementary search help. In which I want to display all the possible values with out resticting the entries. I tries with all the dialogue types(A, C, D). But it allways restricting with 500 entries.
Could somebody help please.
regards,
Giri

Hi J@Y,
Thanks for your reply. But, when the control comes to search help exit, already the selected entries were restricting to 500. So, even I am changing the value to zero or space here, it is not solving the issue. So, could you please tell me how to skip the restriction before control comes to the search help exit.
Many thanks

ALV grid - using f4 search help - want separate value from hit list

I have the following scenario that I am trying to resolve.
I have created my own search help with a search help exit for a bespoke maintenance table which lists categories against HR positions which are to receive workflow for these categories. I am designing a front-end for this table using an ALV grid whereby the person holding that position (i.e. name) is shown instead of position number. The search help allows you to select by First name and last name and brings up a hit list which includes employee number, first name last name, formatted name field, position number, position description and org unit it belongs in.
The issue occurs where the list brings back more than one hit.
e.g.:
1 Fred     Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000001 pos1 org 1
2 Frederic Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000002 pos2 org 3
If you select an entry, the formatted name field goes in the ALV grid field. I call the search help via F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST using the onf4 event .
What I want to do is retrieve the position number of the entry selected and put this into another table without having to add this to my ALV grid and make available for input. I want to use name only for the input in my ALV grid (i.e. if I select the second example, the return table in F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST shows the name Fred Bloggs but does not show the position number which I need to add to another table to update my maintenance table).
Can anyone suggest any way around this?
Many thanks
Larissa

You are right, you can add this fields as an import parameter to the list.
In Custom search help you must have marked fields as Export or Import parameters.
If field is marked as Export parameters, it will be displayed in the selection pop up.
If Import paramter check box is selected then this will be imported to the screen.
Check this SAP documentation for both these options -
Flag for IMPORT parameter of the search help
     Flag if the parameter is an import parameter.
Context information from the processed input template (screen) can be
     copied to the help process with an import parameter. Where an import
     parameter gets its values from is defined when the search help is
     attached to the corresponding field of the input template.
Flag for EXPORT parameter of the search help
Flag if the parameter is an export parameter.
Values can be returned from the hit list to the input template (screen)
     with an export parameter. The fields of the input template in which the
     contents of the export parameter are returned are defined by the search
     help attachment.

Search help value restriction in two tables having same value table

Hi Gurus,
I have two tables containing same field having same domain with value table. My requirement is to restrict the values in the tables. For example the field contains 4 values:
1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
For table 1, only A and C should be seen in F4 and for table 2, only B and D should be seen. Also if somebody forces B or D
in 1st table should not be allowed and the same for 2nd table ( A & C are not allowed ). How to do this using search help exit . Which event should I use. I don't want to create two separate check tables containing only the required values.

Search Help Hit List Max 5000

Hi gurus,
How i can display search help hit list more than 5000 because the system display max. 5000 only
regards,
Next.

Hi,
Try this options mentioned in the SAP note
In the initial screen HELP --> Settings . Go to the tab F4 Help . Go to change mode and choose "Dialog" instead of "Control".
Now for F4 help you will get a check box "No restriction". Use this Check box and try again.
I guess performance will be seriously affected
Refer these SAP notes
Note 487689 - Search help control: Restrictions
Note 163738 - Hit List does not display more than 5000 values.

Issue in CATS search help Hit List

Hi All,
At the moment we are facing an issue in CATS .
We have added customer fields in the CATS data entry area by implementing CAT0005 and CAT0002 enhancements.
One of customer filed we have created Search Help by using SE11 in that search help we have given default values in one of field and due to that on CAT2 transaction in the customer filed showing search help and that search help giving 2 records as hit list ( due to defaulting value in SE11 ).
Now when user clicking on Record working time service in that when customer click upon custom filed search help its giving 30 records as hit list u2026( here the search help should give 2 records hit list )
Any idea

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

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!

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.

Hiding Hit list popup and getting multiple values in Search help

Hi,
I have a special requirement where I am using a search help for filtering data. My requiremetn is the data which I am getting in Hit list popup, I want all that data in a internal table for further processing also I dont want that hit list popup. Is there any method or something which can be used in search help exit to hide the hit list popup dialog and returning all the records which is fetchec in the record_tab.
Thanks
Tanmaya
Edited by: Tanmaya31 on Dec 16, 2011 6:52 AM

Hi,
I dont think you can make thru search help. Instead, I can advise you:
Instead of using a search help for multiple selection, have a button placed at the table control, so that once you press that, you get the desired values(just as in SH) in an ALV display. Then you can make multiple selection and call the table control again and pass the values to the internal table used for the table control, so that the table is filled with the desired values.
Hope this helps you.

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
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

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.

Search Help - No of entries returned

Hello ,
I am working on a search Help exit and noticied that even we change the Value assigned to Parameter " Maximum no of Hits" to 9999 system brings backonly 1st 5000 entries. Somehow SAP is controlling that. I tired to change CALLCONTROLL-MAXRECORDS TO 5000 in Debug Mode also but still get's only 5000 entries.
anyone knows about a OSS note or something written somewhere in R/3 Library about this limitation.
Thanks
L

Hi Lakhbir,
Check the Note "Note 172687 - Collective note: search help control".
Restrictions on the length of the hit list
The number of the entries that the search help control
displays on its hit list is limited to a sensible number
of entries for a search help (5000).
Increasing the length of the hit list causes serious
performance and stability problems in the control
used for displaying. If you need a hit list with more
than 5000 entries switch to the usual search help
frontend:
Switching between R/3 dialog and ActiveX support
It is possible to toggle the support of the search
help by the search help control according to your needs.
To do this there are three setting options:
Search help with ActiveX - support
Search help without ActiveX - support
System settings
The system settings are valid for all clients and
are defined by the administrator. To do this, the
administrator profile must contain the
authorization object 'S_ADMI_FCD' and
the ID 'S_ADMI_FCD' with the 'F4MX' FIELD.
