Hi gurus,

I have one doubt in search help , when I have created a table (ztable) in that i have maintain one field with data element

kunnr, so when i try to create entries its giving f4 fumctionality for that field eventhough i haven't maintain any foreign key ralatio ship. The reason may be SAP already key created search help for kunnr .

I tried in another way like I have created another table ( ztable) maintain search help for a field ,

If i call the same dataelement for another table its not giving f4 functionality. So my question is if u call kunnr dataelement in any table its giving f4 functionality. If i try with z table its not giving , I want the reason for it.

Regards,

sashi

Hi,

The search help for KUNNR data element comes from its domain's value table , this value table is none other than the customer master table KNA1. So whenever you would refer to the kunnr data element in any of the tables, the f4 help will be given from this value table. Hope this clears your doubt.

If you dont want the value help, then create your own ZKUNNR data element and domain and do not maintain any value table.

Data element KUNNR has explicitly assinged search help to it. If you go to definition of KUNNR and select Further characteristics tab you will see that there is used search help C_KUNNR for it. So wherever you use this data element it will provide F4 functionality (input help) for that field.

This can be overwritten on field level. This means that you can explicitly remove or assing different search help for particular field in table using this KUNNR as data element. That's why in some tables it may be provided in some not.

Moreover it can also be overwritten directly in program (if you for example don't want to use search help in particular screen field).

Please refer [Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]. This explains what overwrites what and in which case (in terms of data element).

Marcin

for Z table fileds also it will provide f4 functionality . first create dataelement then domain and assign value table or fixed values for that domain and then create search help for that particular data element. then onwards for other ztables also you will get f4 functionality for that particular filed.

Hi,

The F4 help can be used in Ztables also. If you are in need of KUNNR field, then you can create a new domain and datatype, instead of referring it directly to KNA1 table.

You can go through this link too.This may help You in detail.
