Search Help activation error

vipra — Thu, 25 May 2017 17:54:18 GMT

Dear All

I have created an elementary search help with two parameters as below.

For Partner_ID i have given 'PAR' as a default parameter and the value I will be passing in the runtime from the WDC.

For BE_PUR_ORG i have given 'PURCHORG' as a default parameter and this elementary search help is not getting activated.

During activation i get an error as below.

"GET parameter PURCHORG defined as default value for parameter BE_PUR_ORG does not exist."

I am not able to user this search help, kindly let me know the mistake here.

Is PURCHORG a standard SET/GET parameter? If yes, it seems that SAP has forgotten to define it in table TPARA. If no, then you should have named it with a leading 'Y' or 'Z'. If you create PURCHORG, it will be considered as a modification of the standard. You'll have to assign it to a standard package too. To maintain it, use transaction code SM30 and table TPARA.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks a lot for your explanation. I am able to maintain the Z-parameters and activate the search help.This has really helped me. Thanks again.

Shouldn't the parameter ID be PURCH_ORG and not PURCHORG (Look with SE11 at data element EKORG definition in, tab 'Further Characteristics')

Hi Raymond,

I was just trying out different variants of the paremeter ID since the program was not allowed to be activated.

Thanks.
