Hi,

Is it possible to add search help to material in Purchase Order Screen. I want to add the Material PO text Search option while searching the material during Creating Purchase Order in T.Code ME21N.

Hi

I hope you are talking about the MATERIAL PO text which is a Long text

These texts are maintained as Long texts with the 4 parameters OBJECT,ID,OBJECTNAME and LANGUAGE

We can't create search help based on this PO LONG TEXT .as such these Long texts are not stored in any table

Material field by default will have a search help 'MAT1'.

Regards

Anji

Hi

yes you can add a search help for a filed on the screen

but you need to find out for the USER EXIT available for that T-CODE

because it is a standard T-CODE we can't add code directly to the standard T-code

1st we need to find out for a user exit and then add code in that user exit
