Modifying SAP standard help menu

Former Member — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:01:32 GMT

I've been asked if it is possible to modify the SAP standard help menu, so that the user could potentailly click on a like that would call some custom documentation. Is this possible? And if not could it be done via a transaction - and how do you go about saving a word docuemtn somewhere that a SAP transaction could call it?

Look For Search Help Exit in the web.

Sorry I am talking about the menu help from the main SAP menus at the top of every screen.

If you're talking about standard F1 help, look at transaction CMOD, GOTO>Text Enhancements>... Here you can change the on-screen texts for data elements (but it changes every place the data element is used for a field) AND you can create your own custom help....You may be looking for Text Enhancements>Data Elements>New xx Cust. Doc.

The CMOD modifications are, however, just for a single data element in each enhancement. If you;re looking for a more general help for the transaction, this is probably not helpful to you.
