make Category id field blank in Describe requirement

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When ever we are going in Describe requirement tab its giving us the last used category id in the category id field. I know its getting filled in the global_data_filled.

We want to make this field blank when we go in this tab. Also I can not do any standard code change neither in template.

Is there any BADI by means of which I can achieve this?

any help will be rewarded.

Thanks

Hello,

There is no badi for this and the product category is a very determining field for the SC. Making it blank with development will cause many bugs and unwanted side effect.

A suggestion is to create a dummy category named "?", set it at default category in user attributes and implement the badi bbp_doc_check_badi to prevent a user ordering a SC with this dummy category.
