Append Search Helps

Use

You use an append search help to enhance a collective search help, which is not the original in the current system, with further search paths (elementary search helps) without modifications. This technique can be used for example by special developments, country versions, SAP partners and SAP customers to add further search paths to a collective search help in the SAP standard version.

Features

An append search help has a fixed assignment to a collective search help (of your appending object). This appending object is enhanced with an append search help. The structure of an append search help corresponds to the structure of a collective search help.

The append search help takes on the parameters of your appending object and is automatically included in this object. The parameters of both search helps with the same name are assigned to one another.

Append search helps can also independently describe an input help. In this case they are used like collective search helps.

Elementary search helps without modifications can be hidden in an SAP collective search help with an append search help. You have to include the search help to be hidden in the append search help as well and hide the inclusion there. The search path defined with this search help is no longer offered in the appending search help.
