This is second part in this series, where we will have a look at how to add search help for the fields. Creating an input help for a field is a common requirement in most of the EBP developments, where you need add new fields to shopping cart or purchase order.

This is actually done in 2 ways. If the new field is added in the basic data of shopping cart, then you need to create a new field in the standard customer include structures ( Example : CI_BBP_ITEM_SC ) and providing the search help for this fields in the SAP GUI automatically creates a search help button ( with Binocular symbol ) in the front end. In the second case, if you have to add a field a tab other than “Basic data” you have to add the field in the corresponding screen in SAP GUI. Adding a search help to this field in SAP GUI does not create the search help in the front end. This needs changes in the HTML template of the corresponding screen. This article talks about these changes that need to be done for creating the input help for a field.

Creating a search help involves two steps.

1. Create a search help for a field in your structure or table in the SAP GUI. ( It has been assumed that the reader know, how to create a search help )
2. Change the HTML template of the screen on which this filed exists.

Let us take the example of field CATEGORY in the table YMOVIE. A search help called ZCATHELP has been created and assigned to the field CATEGORY.
