Hi Rajesh,

Use transaction OB20, scroll down till change customer(Centrally), go to the detailed screen.

Here you will see a screen similar to OBD2, make the required changes over here. Do write back if this helps.

Hi Pathik,

Thanks for the reply,

I have checked in OB20, the screen field is set to 'Optional'. Actually we are able to give VAT number for the first time.But we couldnt able to change it later. i.e., if there is any VAT number already present in customer master, we are not able to change it. It is shown as non-editable. Is there any functional config behind this? Can we change VAT number for a customer?

Please guide me on this.

Thank you

Regards,

Rajesh.

Hi,

Check the settings in IMG-SAP NetWeaver-General Settings-Set Country-Specific Checks

here, check the VAT Reg no field settings and rule-9..if it is assinged to ur country customer country then remove it and try again...

If this not suffice, then check any enhancements activated on this..

Reg,

JJ

Hi

check the following

SPRO --- FINANCIAL A/C (NEW) --- A/C PAYABLE AND RECEIVABLE --- CUSTOMER A/C --- MASTER DATA --- PREPARATION FOR CREATING MASTER DATA --- DEFINE SCREEN LAYOUT FOR ACTIVITY -

---

CHANGE CUSTOMER (CENTRALLY) FOR XD02 -

THEN GO TO GENERAL DATA --- CONTROL DATA --- THEN VAT REG NO. make it changable.

T-Code = OB20

Hi,

It looks this field is suppressed. To activate this field,

Go to path SPRO->Financial accounting ->Accounts receivables and accounts payables ->Customer accounts->Master data->Preparations for creating customer master data -> define accounts groups with screen layout.

Here select the customer account group for which you want to activate the VAT field and then click on the details button.

Then under field status double click on General data. Then double click on control. Here you can see the filed VAT registration number field. Select optional entry radio button. Then save.

Now go to XD02 and you can find the field is editable.

Hi Shiva,

Hi

You can ask help from your ABAP colleagues or use SE93 and create a Custom T Code (Z T code) for XD02 which will enable you to access all the fields which are blocked.

Authorization to this T code can be restricted by the Basis colleagues and provided to only those who should be allowed to make necessary changes.

Best Regards

Hi,

As mentioned before, you can check with your basis team to see whether you have authorization to change the field.

The other option would be, you can check the user exit EXIT_SAPMF02D_001 (program SAPMF02D) in SE37 to see whether this field is set non-editable.

Also check whether any screen variants are used (tranx SHD0) to suppress the field.
