SAP Note 378602 - ME21N, ME51N: Enhance 'Material group' search help

Component : Userinterface - Purchase Orders - Userinterface - Purchase Requisitions

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/378602 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In SAP Enjoy purchase screens (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N for orders and ME51N, ME52N, ME53N for requisitions), there's a limitation regarding the material group description's character length. The current search help configuration H_T023_MEPO only supports a 20-character field (WGBEZ), which is inadequate for users needing the 60-character description (WGBEZ60). To mitigate this, a manual modification via SE11 can introduce WGBEZ60 into the search help parameters. This addition ensures no loss in functionality but will require reimplementation post any Support Packages/Updates due to overwrites with standard settings. Ensure modifications aren't overwritten by monitoring changes through update packs.
