Making a field non editable

[Former Member]

Experts -

Is there a way to hide the capability to dive into the details of a specific customer part number within transaction VD52/53? For example, we do want to use the CPN functionality, but do not want certain fields to be editable. I know we can hide fields via the portal, but I wanted to see if there was a native way to do this within the GUI.....without a screen mod or creating a custom transaction that does the samething? Maybe a security setting?

0006 | Competitor

Select Sold-to-party > go to Details > Double Click on General data / Company code data / Sales data. It will take to next screen which details Tab Pages of General data / Company code data / Sales data. Double Click on Tab Page for example: Address, Control, Marketing & so on. Here you can maintain whether the field is to be Suppress, Req. Entry, Opt. entry or Display

Rajesh -

This will help with customer master field, but my issue is with the customer part number functionality. We want to be able to either hide a field or have some security around displaying certain screens.

I know that we can do this leveraging ABAP, but I wanted to see if there was anything in SAP where we could do this without having to customize/enhance/or modify the existing code.
