Error on Profit Center - dynamic input help - wrong values in dropdown list coming up

Hi SAP Experts,

I have an issue regarding search help / dynamic input help on Profit Center (PRCTR and also PPRCTR (it's using the same logic for search help, namely PRCT)) and would really appreciate any input from your side.

When using the Standard dynamic input help for Profit Center, wrong values are coming up. As depicted below, the one with an 'a' in it gets marked as bold but normally it should only show the profit centers starting with an 'a'. Despite using the Input 'XXXX' , again the same values (all!!) are shown in the dropdown. Comparing it to e.g. Data Element KOSTL (Cost Center - Search Help: KOST) --> it is working. If inserting '1' into the Field, only entries starting with '1' are displayed, hence, when inserting 'a' no cost center is found and therefore no entry is displayed.

Has anyone of you ever faced the same issue or a similar one ? If so, please tell me how it is resolved. I do not want to wast that much time on this (cause it is not that important) but I would be delighted if you could provide some hints how this can be resolved.

Thanks in advance,

regards Patrick
