In this example for a search help/plausibility check on an SAP table, the MATNR element is used.

Make settings in QPPD-Customizing (transaction: /SCT/QP_CUST)

1. Create a technical object (/SCT/QP_C21)

An SAP search help is selected from the Technical object elements menu in the Customizing element, and parameters 1 to 4 are used to define which table+data field pairs are used for the value of the search help and the short text of the search help.

2. Use technical object on an element  (/SCT/QP_C21)

The technical object is entered in the corresponding QPPD element.

3. Benefits in QPPD (/SCT/QPPD)

If we open a specification type with a corresponding element in the QPPD, the search help and plausibility check can be used.

The MATNR element has a search help for the SAP table MARA; the columns displayed were defined in Customizing.

When checking the plausibility of data fields, the content of a field is compared with the data table of the search help, and the node is set to "Defect" status if there are no entries.
