Use

You use this Customizing activity to activate and configure the Enhanced Material Search function for your defined applications in Customizing for Logistics - General by choosing Material Master -> Enhanced Material Search with Material Creation -> Define Applications.

The parameters allow you to define the behavior of the Enhanced Material Search function to configure its material search and embedded material creation capabilities.

  • Material Search
    These parameters define general settings for the search capabilities of the Enhanced Material Search function, including default values displayed at the beginning of a search, as well as the data source for catalog searches and how material availability is displayed.
  • Material Creation
    These parameters define how you create or change materials, including material creation methods and background creation of materials.
  • Simplified Material Creation
    These parameters define default settings for the simplified material creation method to allow a simplified predefined creation of a material either on a simplified user interface or in the background.
  • Core Material Maintenance
    This frame is only visible in an SAP Retail system. You define a maintenance group when you use the core material maintenance to create Retail materials.

Requirements

  • You have configured the selected search engine before you use it in the Enhanced Material Search function.
  • You have configured the sales price calculation in sales-based applications such as "01 - Sales Order" before calculating sales prices using this function.
  • You have configured all relevant settings in Customizing for Sales and Distribution by choosing Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Predefined Price Elements -> Determine Predefined Price Elements.
  • You have configured all relevant settings in the Identify Predefined Price Elements in Pricing Customizing activity for sales applications (Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Predefined Price Elements) and purchasing applications (Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Conditions -> Predefined Price Elements -> Identify Predefined Price Elements in Pricing).
  • You have configured the selected material creation and material change methods in Customizing for Sales and Distribution by choosing Basic Functions -> Configure and Activate Enhanced Search with Creation.

Standard settings

Activities

Set the control parameters for the Enhanced Material Search with Material Creation function according to your business needs and system performance requirements. Set the activation flag and save your data.

Note: The system uses predefined subscreens to display the primary and secondary search parameters of the Enhanced Material Search screen. The contents of these subscreens are displayed according to the settings you have made in the Define Search and Display Parameters for Material Search Customizing activity. The resulting subscreen is saved in the system. To avoid repeated regeneration of subscreens with search parameters, you must enter different screen numbers for the primary and secondary search parameters for each application used. As these subscreens apply to the entire system, you must enter unique screen numbers in each client.
