Hi Sai,

For MB51 the search help is already attached as MAT1,where as there is no search help for others.

Hi,

I didnt get what u say.

But i changed complete MAT1 with new appended structures.

Now MAT1 contains completely new appended structures.

I hope its clear.

Hi Sai,

In My opinion you have created an elementary search help and added to MAT1 search help as include search help.

Is my understanding is correct.

If you have not added your search help in search help MAT1 as include search help then your search help won't show up.

Hi,

I did everything right as you said.

I included all search helps in MAT1.

In every case its showing me fine.

but only for transaction mb51 its showing old search help.

Hi Sai,

In MB51 it is refering to MSEG table for MATNR where the search help name is MAT1_S_MPN,thats the reason why it is giving the old once.

Hi Sai,

Upon debugging I found out that this program(RM07DOCS) gets the search help from the shared buffer & not the Data Dictionary. It only goes to DDIC if it cannot find the search help in the shared buffer. May be you should find a way to refresh this buffer. You can put a break-point at the statement

perform shared_buffer_imp_interface

in the function module DD_SHLP_GET_HELPMETHOD and see for yourself.

P.S. Don't waste your time in debug.. Phani is correct

Hi all,

I found the solution to the problem.

MB51 transaction not using MAT1 as search help its using

MAT1_MPN instead.

Anyway thanks for spending your time.
