Hi,

For this you need to create a z search help and append it into standard material help.

For filtering of material number you need to develop a search help exit (Function Module through se37) and put this exit (FM) in your z search help.

Hi,

No need of access key.

Fisrt u finout the Search help for Material.

Goto se11 --> create a zSerach help.

Append that zserach help to standard search help.

It will be done.

Its same like append of sturucture in stanadard tables without having access key.

HI Abdul ,

you can achieve this by using the Search help exit. You dont need access key for the below changes

Open your Field's search help in SE11---> Go for Display ---> under definition tab you can find Search help Exit .

if you dont have any exit , you can take a copy of F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE and restrict the search according to the requirement.

if you already have an one , then you can copy to Custom FM and make your modification to write your logic and then replace the same with your Custom.

For Search help Exit . Please refer [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]
