How to Disable/Customize Search Help in Shopping Cart tables?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to disable/customize the search helps associated in a field within the Shopping Cart detail/items table? Eg. G/L Account field. I already tried disabling the Input Help in the Attribute associated with the field in the COMPONENTCONTROLLER but the seach help is still showing up.

Please advise.

Hi,

If WebDynpro can not help, changing search help setting in DDIC is the last option.

For accounting fields you can configure search help in 2 ways:

1. within authorization object BBP_FUNCT and value BE_F4_HELP = X (flag) you can get search help from backend data

2. without BE_F4_HELP flagged search help will be from DDIC

For other fields DDIC search help is the only method as Masa told.

Hi Thanks for the suggestions.

The web dynpro table uses USAGE_SH_F4 component for all the fields to get search help in the back end. My requirement would be to modify one column to use a custom Search Help in SRM (not back end). I've already done this but the impact is very big. I used a new node/attribute to create the search help for the column but the buttons and other functionalities that was tied to the original attribute of the column is now gone. Now the only way to meet my requirement is to modify the Original Search help. Is this possible?

Hello,

I think this can be achieved in BADI WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW (Enhancement spot WD_BADI). This BADI implementation has filters - view name and component name.

The implementation is called after the standard WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of every view. Here we can dynamically change the properties of any screen element.

Hello again,

Prasanna is right: the easiest way to change the search help for certain fields is to use the WD-Exits, in this case use of the WDDOMODIFYVIEW exit by creating an enhancement implementation.

Here can dynamically change the help-value for certain fields. I will give you a sample for accounting field G-L-Account:

METHOD pst4es1711jmkl7v3y2nb6isgkme . "Exit of WDDOMODIFYVIEW (in ZENH_ACCT......

data .....

*--- set value_help

lo_node1 = wd_context->get_child_node( 'COMP_CONTEXT' ).

lo_node2 = lo_node1->get_child_node( 'ACCOUNT_DETAIL' ).

lo_node_info ?= lo_node2->get_node_info( ).

CALL METHOD lo_node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'G_L_ACCT'

value_help_mode = if_wd_context_node_info=>c_value_help_mode-application_defined

value_help = 'USG_ACCTF4'.

Hope this will satisfy your request. Have success!

Regards

Are the steps described by Joe good for custom B/E search of Cost Center/ G L Account?

Hi Al,

Did you find a solution to your requirement? I've been trying the WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW approach but the USAGE_SH_F4 component is still handling the search help function. It's calling the search help 'SAKO' from backend.

Thanks,
