No active external product for the fuzzy search (FBL1N)

Hi,

I am in transaction FBL1N and want to search the vendor by F4 help.

1. When I hit F-4, the Search window appears.

2. It gives an pop-up message "No active external product for the fuzzy search".

3. When we open the help for the pop-up message it says :

No active external product for the fuzzy search

Message no. F2807

Diagnosis

The connection of an external product is required for the fuzzy search.

For more information, see Note 176559.

I have looked through the SAP Note 176559 but was not really relevant.

Regards,
