Hi,

it's quite hard to tell what's missing if you're not able to take a look...

Did you also append the Searchfield to the mentioned structures in the guide? Not only the custom field structures, but the searchfield structures.

If you did it right, then your new searchfield should at least be visible in the POWL query.

--> transaction POWL_QUERY --> mark the entry SAPSRM_OP_SOURCING_01_01 and click on details --> then press query settings

Now you can see a list of the searchfields. If your field is there than that's good, if not, something fundamental is missing.

If it's there, make sure that the Quick Search Flag is set. This should already be set in /SAPSRM/POWL_CUST for the DB Search field.

If it's not there I usually help myself by debugging the POWL feeder class.

There are quite a lot of structures involved that need to be maintained and these structures differ from business object to business object...
