F4 help for matnr in Tcode: MB51

[Former Member]

Hi Abapers,

Search help: MAT1 is being attached to Material Number field in Tcode: MB51. When i press on F4, Several tabs are getting displayed. MAT1 is a collective search help with various collective search helps. Further each collective search help is containing various elementary search helps(Views as search methods) attached to it... These are getting displayed as different Tabs when i press F4..

My requirement is to modify this F4 functionality.. For some users only few material numbers needs to be displayed when clicked on F4.. I need to validate this.. Can some one tell me as where i can write my logic to achieve this...

Please share your openions...

Many Thanks in Advance!!

I think my Question is not clear... There are some 35 Elementary search helps for Material Number in MB51.. Ex; Material by old material no., Material by bill of material etc... Now i need to control the material numbers being displayed based on user logged in... How can i do this? Probably i need to write my validation in Search help exit being attached to this collective search help...
