Restrict the Entries in Drop down list

Updated May 18, 2018

Is it possible to restrict the entries in DropDownList through GUIXT.

If we click on F4 on Material Group More than 350 entries are showing. We want to restrict entries limit in dropdownlist.

Thanks

    It is not possible to restrict the entry list, but you can delete the drop down list and create your
    own.
    one (keyword: DropDownList), either using fixed values or by reading and the filtering.

    the dropdown we are looking for is for material group. There are about 380 material groups – of which only 61 have valuation areas defined (from table T023). So instead of 380 entries in the dropdown – we would like 61 entries. Once selected – the material group (e.g. AS.00 AS.01) should be populated in the field.

    what code need to write to get the valuation ares from the table?

    but not working in ME51N,ME52N.

    The transactions ME51N and ME52N use a "grid control" not a table as in transactions
    ME21N and ME22N. GuiXT cannot change the searchhelp for the grid control cells.

    is any other way to change the search help for Grid control fields in ME51N and ME52N?

    You can add an InputField on the screen with the desired search help, and
    the users can copy&paste the value from this field into the grid cell. But this
    is not a very elegant solution...

    Thanks.I Changed the Personnel Settings Toolbar->Uncheck the Item Over view As Grid Control.
    In ME51N->Tool Bar(Personnel Settings)->Uncheck Item Overview as Grid Control->Save
    As aresult i am able to change the Search help for Material Group in ME51N but not able to change SEARCHELP for fields in ME52N.
    The same setting done in ME52N still not able to change Searchhelp.
