You use this function to create keywords and assign them to material groups. These keywords are used in the full-text field of the Enhanced Material Search function. You use keywords to search for materials when descriptive text is unavailable or insufficient in the master data. You can also use keywords to search for a group of materials that share the same properties.

In SAP for Retail systems you can also synchronize keywords, which are assigned to merchandising categories, with the data structure of the keyword maintenance application. This allows you to use your existing merchandise category keywords in the Enhanced Material Search. A report can be triggered within the keyword maintenance application to keep the data structure of the keyword maintenance application up-to-date with the keywords assigned to merchandising categories.
