No active external product for the fuzzy search (FBL1N)

[former_member221213]

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.

The default search tab is set to Vendors by Address Attributes.

To resolve this error, click on the check mark when you get the error. When when the search box comes up, click on the far right icon on the top of the screen. This will drop-down a list of tabs. Select any other tab that you would like to be the default, perform your search and the next time you try to search you will not get the error. Once this is fixed in one transaction, it will also resolve in other transactions as well.

Cheers

Hello,

Is the issue resolved.

If yes, please let me know a possible solution.

I am facing a similar error while searching for vendor(XK02) and Customers(XD02).

The other searches work fine

"Standard Material", "Document" and "Equipment"

As a basis guy, I think this is related to the background Trex.

Correct me if I am wrong
