Hi,

TO get this as per your requirement,

First create a elementary search help through se11.

In the elementary search help, give the selection method as MARA , select the dialog with value restiction.

The search help parameters as MATKL and MTART.

Lpos and SPOs as 1 and 1 ( For MATKL)

2 and 2 For MTART.

Save and Activate it.

Now in SE11 Give the search help name as MAT1_A and click on change.

Click on Ok in the next dialog box.

Go to the tab Included search helps. Click on Add button ( + button ) and give the created search help ( Zsearch help name) there.

Save and Activate it.

Now check for Material anywhere , you will find an extra tab as your custom tab.

Hello

In sale order, to search a material F4 option is already available.

place your cursor on materila option-> click on the radio button (f4) it will take you to search options, you can search based on Material Group, but not based on Material type.
