Blogs about the Enhanced Material Search:
*********************************************************
The Enhanced Material Search implemented in ERP Sales Order is now available since SAP ERP Enhancement Package 2, which was globally released in early 2007.
The SAP solution management has learned from our customers and All-in-One partners how important it is to further enhance the Enhanced Material Search, to adapt it to individual customer requirements, for different industry subsegments etc.
To fulfill this demand we have offered a set of new BAdI's (user exits) and SAP notes. The BAdI's will be officially documented in Enhancement Package 4, however, most of them are available with Enhancement Package 2+. All BAdI's and notes are listed in OSS component SD-MD-MM-CS.
Here the list of SAP notes:
