Problem with search help (binoculars)

[Former Member]

Hi all

Wonder is anyone has encountered such a problem and can help me in any way...

The item details has a portion for Cost Assignment. In the cost assignment, we can assign the item to a cost center.

Beside that is a binoculars, when we click on the binoculars we are getting a pop-up message "Display not possible (inconsistency in the input help)".

Can anyone help on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nick,

What Raj says is correct you need to maintain the attribute 'CNT' in the org structure at user level or may be upper levels and then inherit it org structure.

You need to define the values wrt to yr backend system.

You can assign multiple cost centres also then users will see drop down box for the same.

One more point affecting the search help for cost center is authorisation for the resp role in PFCG i.e.

say the user role is SAP_BBP_STAL_EMPLOYEE

you go to PFCG

go to roles

doubleclick on inbuilt single role ....EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE

click on tab authorozation

go to display/change auth data

go to BBP component

go to first option 'SRM: Allgemeine Zugangsberechtigungen im EBP'

check 'BE_F4_HELP' is flagged.

If no tick here you will not see binoculur in EBP for user of that role

Hi Dinesh/ Raj

The attribute CNT is already maintained the and F4 is checked.

The problem still persists.

Thanks for the help so far..

Hi Nick,

fllowing may help:

1. check whether the R/3 cost centers are properly maintained. FI guy should be able to tell you.

2. When a search help is asked in EBP for R/3 parameters

there should be a concerned FM in R/3 to find the same. A good ABAPer can help to check this.

hi,

Did you maintain one RFC conection to your backend in "dialog mode" ?

User used for this connection must be defined as "Service" (user type : S) with enought <b>authorization</b> in backend.

Check customizing step : "Define Backend Systems"

last column "RFC (Dialog)" here you have to set your RFC connection in "dialog" mode.

Hi Nicholas! You can see note SAP 656633.

Thank you for the reply once again. Before I implement this can I ask for a clarification. My understanding is that the R/3 RFC connection will allow the user to get a list of all available cost centres in R/3. We are looking for each users, when they click on the search, to only have visibility to select cost centres available in their attribute CNT.

Is this possible?

Thank you again.

Hi

Check whether in the user attributes the cost centers are maintained.

Let me know the status then.
