Search Help for transaction code KE53

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I want to add one more elementary search help in already existing search help PRCT for tcode KE53.

This is a collective search help. I am trying to create an elem. searh help which includes 3 input fields

Profit Center (PRCTR), Text desc. of Profit Center (LTEXT), and Company Code (BUKRS). But the problem is PRCTR & BUKRS are in table CEPC_BUKRS and PRCTR & LTEXT in table CEPC. Then how do i club the 3 in a single elem help. Do i have to use Search Help Exit. I have created a FM in which i have written a select query as follows:

SELECT A_{PRCTR A}LTEXT B~BUKRS

FROM CEPCT AS A

INNER JOIN CEPC_BUKRS AS B

ON A_{PRCTR = B}PRCTR

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB.

ITAB is the table in FM. The FM also includes the changing parameters :SHLP & CALLCONTROL and tables SHLP_TAB & RECORD_TAB (but i dont know the use of the parameters). How do i proceed.

I dont have any idea about search help exits. Also there is no table which includes PRCTR, BUKRS and LTEXT.

Hi,

No need to write a search help exit. You can instead give a database view in the selection method. This database view can be a join on the tables CEPC and CEPC_BUKRS.

Refer to the search help PRCTN which uses a database view as the selection method.

Since this is a standard search help, you will have to use append search help technique. Refer to this link for [enhancing the standard search help|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1f/29ef5777df11d2959800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm].

Hi ,

But now when i enter the company code, then i get the corresponding list of Profit Centers, but when i double click on any one profit center to select it, it does not get selected, it just shows blank value in the profit center field

Have you defined the PRCTR field in the search help as a EXPORT parameter ?

Yes i have ticked the check box for export parameter of the elementary search help i created

[Former Member]

That is strange then. Can you paste your code here ?

Also did you test the search help PRCT ? Does if get the value in test mode ?

When i test it in test mode also , it is giving me the same problem. I have created elem search help PRCTC and included in collec. search PRCT. In PRCTC, i have used selection method as database view

YV_CEPC_TXT which i have created (as a local object in dev. client). Then in the search help parameters, I have given 3 fields PRCTR, BUKRS, LTEXT of which i have ticked the check box of PRCTR export parameter. Dialog type is " C Dialog with value restriction", and Hot key i have just given as C.
