material group search list

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have a very simple problem but i cannot find the solution.

When we go to MM03, we are able to search material code by material description for eg: place your cursor on the material code field, press F4 and enter " jett ", list of description with JETT will come out regardless it is capital or small letter.

But however, if you search for material group list, for eg: place your cursor on the material group field,press F4 and enter " raff ", it will only list out the material group and description with "raff" . Other material group desc which also contains of raff but with capital letter will not come out. Means it is a case sensitive. Is this standard or we can set it somewhere so that it can ignore case sensitive, just like material code and material description?

Thanks,

Crystal

Hi Crystal,

The behaviour you are seeing is per standard design.

For the Material Group, the standard generated search help H_T023

is used. You may see this in transaction SE12.

H_T023 browses through table T023 where all the Material groups are

kept. The Search Help automaiticaly inherits the attributes of the

fields in it from the Data Dictionary.

The Material Group Description Example (WGBEZ) which belongs to Domain

TEXT20, inherits the Case-sensitivty flag from TEXT20 which is set.

The options which exist are as follows: (None of which are Supported

by SAP as standard

- You could change all descriptions for all you material groups to be

Uppercase. To facilitate this, a small ABAP could be written.

- You could create your own Search Help for Material Group, using its

own view, and here specify that you do not want case sensitivity.

Hi Jeevan,

I follow your instruction, does it means that if "Lower Case" is ticked, so it is a case sensitive?

I can see this check box is ticked for WGBEZ but not for MATKL.

Is this standard? Is there any chance to untick this for WGBEZ?

Thanks,

My SAP version is 4.7 AND I am not sure about your SAP version. However check this link would help you.

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/CaseInsensitiveSearchHelpExitforMaterial+Group

Also check whether OSS Note 982866 - MD: Description field in search help is case sensitive is applicable to your SAP version.

Material Group Description is case sensitive. Material Group Code is not.

Look up the Domain of data element WGBEZ (through SE11 in Data Type field, double click on TEXT20 and click "Defintion" Tab)

and domain of MAKTL.

If I use asterisk it works for me. Can you remove the gap between asterisk and the letters and try again?

Can you try putting one asterisk at both the ends of the word raff like * raff * and try?
