Material Group Hierarchy Search Help

[Former Member]

Hello expert,

I am trying to implement a material group hierarchy search help that looks like the product hierarchy search help in MM02.

I have created a material group hierarchy that is standard (CL6C) and created a view feeding from table KLAH, KSSK and T023 that I am calling from the search help. When trying to imitate the PRODH search help exit, I am getting completly overwhelmed with the coding...

Did anyone managed to do something similar ? Am I losing my time ?

What I ultimately want to do is to allow the user to navigate through a selection dynamically because we have a lot of material group and I am open to any solution (tree like search, dynamic dropdowns...etc). I have navigated and search the internet for hours without success so any tips would be really appreciated

Thanks

If someone comes accross this post:

What I ended up doing is dynamic dropdowns that browse through the table. It really was not that hard it is a user exit in the standard help.

At the callcontrol-step = 'DISP' I am calling a report that is built on the fly that has a bunch of dropdowns for selection.  With function VRM_SET_VALUES function module i populate them and when reaching the last level I am crossing the last selected value selected back to the user exit with

   IMPORT ITAB FROM MEMORY ID 'xxx'.

The users are loving it !

Hi Clotilde,

We want to display the material groups in search help in tree structure.

Thanks for sharing the solution, can you please elaborate the solution here with a few screen shots?

Hi Anubhav,

I actually ended up not doing a tree but a series of drop-downs, where the first drop-down limits the choices of the second, and the second limits the choices of the third...etc if this is what you are looking for I can try and dig for how I did it (it has been a while )
