Vendor Search Help

I have a user that is requesting that Vendor PO Box and PO Box ZIP Code be added to the Vendors by Address Attributes tab in the Vendor search help screen. 
Any ideas with where to start?
Thanks!

Hi Barth,
That was over an year ago. I hardly can remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Well, actually yesterday is easy because I have Mexican every Sunday.
Anyways, try setting a break point in the FM I mentioned. It shouldn't be too hard to debug. And it will answer two questions, if it is actually where the vendor is being fetched, and what is going on.
If all else fails, open a new thread explaining what you've done and what the results are, as this topic has been closed.
Good luck.
Best,
Bruno

  • Sorting problem in standard vendor search help

    Hi all,
    I'm enhancing the vendor search help.
    I found that there is a sorting problem in the original standard search help.
    The 1st time to search vendor in the search help returns a correct list, then I just sort the vendor in ascending order. This time the column name of the hit list changes and mismatch the actual values.
    Any one faced this problem before?
    What's wrong are there ?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Peluka.
    But even I don't enhance the vendor search help, I still found that the original standard version has this problem after sorting.
    Is that the program bug?
    Have anyone encountered this problem before?

  • Vendor: search help by VAT registration number

    Hi,
    is there a way to have a search help by VAT registration number taking in account the main VAT registration number (LFA1-STCEG) AND alternate rgistration numbers (LFAS-STCEG) (if possible in a single search) ?

    It is possible. You may please discuss with ABAPer.
    But, then we are amending the standard screens.
    But, my question is in LFAS, for a single vendor you can enter multiple VAT numbers. In such case, how would you expect the combination works.

  • Display list for Vendor search in SC tcode in SRM 7

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 7.1 ECS.
    THe vendor search help display list in SRM 7 in the SHOP in 1 STEP tcode displays number of columns like VENDOR ID,name,street,city etc...IN SRM 5,there were only limited number of clumns(around 6) displayed like vendor ID,name,Porg,DUNS etc.
    I know in SRM 7,we can right click and always chnage the USER settings for each individual session/user.BUt if I need to craete a default display list for the vendor serach in the SC transaction,is that possible?
    Also if I modify the web dynpro application to limit the no of culmns,then changes will be displayed in all the trasnction sin which the vendor search help might be used.
    Users in our org have problemw when scrollingtop to bottom in the result list which is displayed for the vednor seaqrch due to the new web dynpro UI in SRM 7 and hence the query.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hi Scot
    the below is for goa . try for BP too.. Why you require TREX search . std search dont enough. since
    TREX helps only if you want to enable  full text search for long texts and attachments in contracts.You need to instal  the trex server and configure the settings:-
    1.create RFC destination of type TCP/IP server using TCODE SM59
    2.MAINTAIN ENTRY IN back end systems settings
    3. Activate full text search y executing the program BBP_TREX_INDEX_ADMIN .
    bUSINESS oBJECT : - bus2000113
    subtype usiness object :- cc for GOA or blank for operational contracts
    Action for SRM TREX index :- select the appropriate value from search help . for example , you would specify A for the initial index generation.
    bundle size for indexing : enter "10." bundle size affects performance. The size indicates the number of docuemnts that will be updated in one pass.if there are a large number of documents, then the size may be reduced to improve performance

  • Prefered Vendor Serach Help

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem in using the prefered vendor search help.
    When I create a SC and go to sources of supply serach help and on click on start I get few BP numbers.
    The problem comes when on selecting on any BP numbers (hyperlink)...it does not transfer to SOS screen ,prefered vendor field
    Kindly Suggest what could be the problem .
    Regards
    Bidyut

    Hello,
    You can verify if note 1391524 helps you.
    In this case, an External Service Staff- Order has been inserted in the cart and assigning a vendor via search help does not work.
    Kind regards,

  • 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.

  • Match Codes / Search Helps for Duplicate Check Vendor are missing

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to enable the Duplicate Check for the Vendor solution we have here and I couldn't help, but notice that when I'm setting up the DB Search in "Define Search Application", the out of the box values for existing search helps are already preconfigured and the values are the following:
    BP MC_BP_ADDRESS Address Data
    BP MC_BP_BANK_DETAIL Bank Details
    BP MC_BP_GENERAL General Data
    BP MC_BP_ID_NUMBER Identification Numbers
    BP MC_BP_ROLES BP Roles
    Unfortunately, when I check in SE11 - those search helps do not exist in the system. How can I get them deployed? Are they part of a Business Set that I missed to install and activate?
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris

    Hi Boris
    Please check that the following is set in your system:
    Configure Duplicate check for entity types - BP need the following:
    Assign search object connector template to object types - BP need the following:
    Ensure that "Business Partner template for MDG" connector is created in ESH_COCKPIT

  • Vendor Account Group Search Help

    Hello MM Experts,
    We would like to search Vendors by Account Group. Surprisingly it appears that SAP has not provided a standard Search Help for this. I would think that a lot of SAP users would want this.
    Does anyone know why SAP has not provided this search help in the standard system?
    Would it be ok to go ahead and create one ourselves?
    Can someone please give me some pointers on how to proceed with creation of this search help?
    Thanks!
    Anisha.

    Hi,
    Go to any vendor field, press for selection (F4)......you get many search options there.
    One of those search option is vendor by account group.
    You can also do it thru LFA1 table.

  • Company code to be displayed in search help for vendors/Business partners

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to display the company code along with the vendor/business partner number when searching for preferred vendors while creating the shopping cart.
    In standard the search help exit used is BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_SOS. This search help does not have logic to find the company code for the vendor/business partner. It only finds and displays the purchasing organization.
    Can someone tell me where I find the company code agains the vendor?
    I tried searching in SRM and couldnt find the table where this relationship is found.
    Or is it that this data is not stored in SRM and we need to make an RFC call to R/3 using FM B470_VENDOR_GET_DATA.
    Please let me know!
    Thanks,
    Srivatsan

    I have the same problem due to multiple backends and 1 purchasing org to 2 company codes, have you got a fix for this yet would appricieate help if any one has ideas on this one

  • Search help-vendor master combine classification with additional criteria

    I want to build a single search help with classification data and vendor master data. 
    I have a classification on the vendor master identifying the state the vendor is licensed to do business in.  I also have the city from the vendor address.  I have separate search helps for the classification and the vendor address (city).  I would like to combine the search helps.  For example I would like to search vendors licensed to do business in Inidiana and those with a city of Indianapolis.  Any guidance on this would be appreciated. 
    Thanks in advance, Jay

    1. Check the search help exit example (FM) F4IF_SHLP_EXIT* and copy it to z name space.
    2. In the SH Exit, use the callcontrol-STEP = 'SELECT' to overtake data selection (add additional selection criteria like state and city)
    3. Assign the SHExit to vendr master screen field's search help (yes, the field's search help - you dont need an access key for that)
    4. Test, see if hitlist results match your filter criteria and tune the exit

  • Restricting vendors in search help in srm portal

    Hi,
    I need to restrict certain vendors in search help in srm portal while creating shopping cart.
    These vendors should not be visible to the users for selection.
    I tried in the BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_VENDOR_EXP of the search help BBP_BUPA_VENDOR, but its not working.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
       1) Use tcode BP and enter the vendor number and in the last tab (control). Select central block.
       2)  Use program BUPA_TEST_DELETE for the vendors.

    Hi
    first write a report to fetch the Only blocked Vendors,
    and create a Z table with the required fields for that Blocked vendors and update that Z table with the data fetched in the program.
    The using that Table create a elementary search help for the blocked vendors.
    see the help.
    1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
    2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
    4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
    5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
    6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

    You need to call the following function on value help of your field.
      call function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
        exporting
          tabname                   = 'LFA1'

          dynpnr                    = <your program screen number>
          dynprofield               = '<screen field name>'
