MDG - Free Text Search

[abhradeepbasu]

Dear Experts,

We are suddenly facing an issue on our search screen. There was a free text search text box to search supplier/vendor but now it is not showing on the screen. When we check on the screen customization, we find the below error:

FREE_TEXT_SEARCH: the field FREE_TEXT_SEARCH is not in the feeder catalog

This free text search text box was there from the standard solution. Please help.

I'm not too familiar with the Vendor/Customer side of MDG...but whenever this has happened to me in the Material Data model it was because I had made a change to the data model and had not refreshed the metadata. Once the metadata was refreshed the problem disappears.
