Read all my blogsDirect navigation to search result if only one item is found
Pieter Rijlaarsdam, 21 September 2011
An often heard requirement is that users would expect the system to immediately navigate to the details screen of a found item if exactly one is found.
This is particularly expected if the user has searched for an item with a unique key field such as a business partner number. These users are right. What is the use of a search result screen if exactly one item is found? Why not go directly to the details of business partner, activity, opportunity, sales order etc?
SAP has agreed to this, and per beginning of 2011 they offered an OSS note to implement this. For more information, look at OSS Note 1548131 – CC1: Automatic navigation to search result (technical basis)
Beside the code correction instructions, this note also contains an attachment that explains the changes and how to make the changes have effect (you will also need to do some settings in business role customizing).
After implementing the note, you can add parameter ‘ONE_HIT_DIRECT_DISPL’ to the UI parameters profile, and set the value to ‘true’. This will enable the one-hit functionality.

Raj,
The parameters profile is assigned to the business role in the 'Assign Function Profiles' node in business role customizing using parameter option 'PARAMETERS'.
Hope this answers your question 🙂
yes its the function profile "parameters".Thanks for the input.
Unfortunately, it is not working in the product search 🙁
Can you give a hint how to enable it for the product search in SAP CRM?
Wo Wa,
I don't know why it wouldn't work for the product search. Maybe you can check with OSS?
Let me know if you have found it :-).
Thanks,
Pieter
