In the previous blog post, we learned how to create help view and elementary search help.

In this blog post we will learn how to create collective search help.

How to Create Collective Search Help


Step 1: In collective search help we can combine several elementary search help.

In this example, we will create collective search help by combining two elementary search help.

How to create elementary search help, I have explained it in previous blog post. Here you can check Getting Started with ABAP: How to Create Help View and Search Help Part 1

I created one elementary search help and use selection method as ZAKTABLE.


And I have taken 2 fields from table.


I have created one more elementary search help on table ZAK_DEP.



Step 2: Go to SE 11 and select search help. Enter name of the search help that you want to create.


Step 3: Click on Create. Select Collective search Help.


Step 4: Enter short description.


Step 5: Enter Search help parameter and select import export parameter.


Step 6: Click on Included search Helps.


Step 7: In search help, Enter elementary search help name.


Step 8: select first search help and click on parameter assignment.


Step 9: Click on Yes.

Step 11: Below window will get open.


Step 12: Click on Copy. Save And Activate.
