Purchasing Org Field to be mandatory while material creation in CJ20N.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is there any way we can make Purchasing Org. field mandatory for input while creating material component for a project in CJ20N?

I tried with influencing field as 'Order Type' in 'define field selection for components' but could not succeed.

thanks in advance.

works fine

go to transaction OIPSMDMAT

click influences

double click order type - select the network type

make Porg as required

save the change in config

now for that order type when you enter a material with item category N - the system requires POrg

Virendra!

Thanks for the hint. I did not know of the existance of transaction OIPSMDMAT. I have been investigating a bit...it is just available as of ECC 6.0 Release 604, is this correct?

Thanks

Martina

That is right Martina - this function is only available from ECC 6.0 enhancement pack 3 actually - below are more details

New functions available for material components as of Enhancement Package 3:

A new item type C is available for material components assigned using the Open Catalog

Interface (OCI). Material components using item type C cannot be copied.

You can assign a delivery address to material components without using the procurement

type third-party requisition. Therfore you can use the Address icon in tabular component

overview.

Using the BAdI BADI_MAT_CUST_SCR customers now can define customer specific fields

for material components and display them on a separate tab in the detail view of components.

Customers now can define a field selection for material components and thus control which

fields should be displayed in the detail and tabular views of material components. You can

define the field selection using the following IMG menu path:

Project System->Material Procurement ->Define Field Selection for Components

Raashid,

this must be done from MM customizing and not from PS.

SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Define Screen Layout at Document Level. In ESTF field selection enter your settings for purchasing organization.

Hope this helps
