Hi,

For this first find the data element for that field and add a check table there.

or find the referance table and field for that and create one search help for that.

And if you want this search help to work only when tcode is VA01. then in that search help put a validation.

hi

since its standard SAp you have to go for enhancing search help.

Hi,

first create a check table with possible values.

first way

go to structure CCDATE and select field EXDATBI and then click of 'forign key relationship' button (key icon) in the popup

window give that table which you have created and click on 'generate proposal' button. then click on 'Copy' button.

it's done now.

second way.

using newly created table,create a elementory search help.

go to structure CCDATE and select field EXDATBI and then click on search help and give the newly created search help name

then click on 'Generate proposal' and then 'Copy'.

it's done now.

but for these both conditions you need to get the access key for strucure CCDATE modification.

If you want this search help to be working for only VA01 then in you have to choose the second way,

and while creating that seach help you have to put validation code in search help exit.

If i find any other solution i'll update you.

Hope this will help you.

hi,

goto SE11

use your field to find the domain

get the search help name from it.

goto this search help and look if there is any exits present in it.

if not you cant enhance it.

Hi,

If you see my previous post, that is not only for creating normal search help. i have described the process for attaching it to

VA01's field also.

But for this you have to get access key first. because for that field there is no search help present. so you can not enhance.

and through User exit you can not attach any search help for any standard field.

Please see my previous post. and you will get the answers. Just follow the steps.
