Extend a Standard Search Help without any Programming

Creating an Elementary Search Help

We would first need to create a database view inorder to fetch the desired values

Step 1 : Create  a database view with the following table and joins

Database View 1

Step 2 : Include the following fields in the view.Database View 2

Step 3 : Save and Activate your view.

  • Note : I named my view Z_V_BATCH_WBS (as per our naming conventions)
  • Note: The join MCH1-CHARG = EKKO-EBELN works in my case because of certain business rules. These may not be true in your situation. So please check that.

 

Step 4 : Create an Elementary Search help using this Database View

Step 5: Save and Activate your Search Help.

  • Note : I named my view ZSH_BATCH_WBS (as per our naming conventions)
  • Note: The join MCH1-CHARG = EKKO-EBELN works in my case because of certain business rules. These may not be true in your situation. So please check that.

    HI, although I’m a technical developer and I do understand that this explanation is wonderful for functional people, it’s very nicely described! Keep up the good work & keep on sharing.

    • Thats Nice Saurabh!! – Now If I get the same feedback from some functional people — then the blog has served its purpose .. 🙂
      I am working on some more articles like these ones — come back for more.

    Hi Linking sir. The information you share is always easy to understand and great ! It clears of doubts in the technical areas we work in and in fact other areas as well. The images displayed make it more easier to understand the technical details. But here, I request you to provide a zoom functionality for the images, so we could zoom in more to the image details.

    Thanks you.
