In this step, you can revise existing search helps for purchasing documents or define new ones. Search helps enable you to find all purchasing documents that satisfy certain criteria (all POs for a certain project, for example).

You can search for the following purchasing documents:

  • RFQ/quotation
  • Purchase order
  • Contract
  • Scheduling agreement
  • Service entry sheet

Each search help comprises certain fields of the purchasing documents. You can assign any purchasing document fields to a search help. You then delimit the documents you are searching for via these fields (creating a search help facilitating searches for all POs relating to a certain project, for example).

Note
Search helps are valid across clients.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard system supplied, the search help ASH_MEKK - belonging to the collective search help MEKK - facilitates searches for purchasing documents.

Recommendation

Since a large number of search helps can impair the performance of your system, you should check which search helps you wish to use and deactivate any that are surplus to requirements.

Activities

  1. Check whether the search helps provided in the standard system satisfy your needs.
  2. Supplement the search helps belonging to the collective search help MEKK where appropriate.
  3. If necessary, deactivate any search helps you don't need.

Further notes

Refer to the section Search Helps under Basis -> ABAP Workbench -> ABAP Dictionary in the SAP Library. Here you will find important information on the search helps (e.g. their structure, or how to define a search help of your own).
