Hi,

I think you can create a Z search help and attach it to standard search help. Also try to check if there is any exits being called during your F4.

Other option could be, in customization change the description of obsolete material types to indicate that they are obsolte. Do the validations in user exit to avoid saving of data with obsolete values.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi Ram,

You can not filter the Material Types and Sales Document Types in the drop down - coz both are from Value tables of the respective domains and not from search help.

What you can do is: through Authorization Objects you can control users to use only specific material types and sales document types. This is possible. However, all the material types and sales document types would still appear in the input help however system will throw an error message (authorization failure) when user tries to use un-wanted types.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ram,

You can use screen variants and transaction variants. For example, you can create one Transaction variant for each material type (FERT_MM01, HALB_MM01, etc.) and in respective screen variant, hide the MTART field with default value (FERT, HALB, respectively). Similarly for sales document types also. Combined with authorization, users will not know this field at all.

Refer to SAP Help on [Transaction Variants and Screen Variants|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/67/232037ebf1cc09e10000009b38f889/content.htm]

Users usually want moon to be at their door. But SAP is on earth
