Hello ,

Generally we use POV if we need to specify our own custom help ( i mean if no standard search help is availbale to the domain ) .

The search help can be assigned at the field level , at the domain level(value table) or fixed values to the domain as well.

Hi,

POv event is used to make search help in Module Pool.

 PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

  FIELD vbak-vbeln MODULE help1.

Here in Module help1 we declare the selection search help

 SELECT  vbeln
          FROM vbak
          INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_help1
          WHERE vbeln LIKE '0083%'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield        = 'VBELN'
      dynpprog        = sy-repid
      dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
      dynprofield     = 'VBAK-VBELN'
      value_org       = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab       = it_help1
    EXCEPTIONS
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      OTHERS          = 3.

At selection-screen on Value Request is used in normal Report,ALV(Grid & List) and the general search help is also used in simple report's selection screen using match code object.
