Disable message VU001 on Tx VA01

[Former Member]

Hello all

When we create a sales order, and we introduce the sold to party field, the system asks (with a warning) for a PO number. Does anyone know how could we disable that warning?

Thank you in advance

Hello Enrique,

Yes that would be possible.

There are 3 possibilities:

SOLUTION 1:

Step 1: Check the incompletion procedure connected to your sales document type (transaction VUA2; or VOV8 just to view)

(e.g. incompletion procedure 11, or a Z* procedure if your company has already customized)

Step 2: You can disable the warning message for the PO field (field BSTKD) in transaction OVA2 by Un-ticking the box under "Warning"

However, with this approach you just disable the warning message for the missing PO entry, but the PO is still in your incompletion procedure. Hence, your order will still look for a PO.

**IF YOUR REQUIREMENT IS TO TOTALLY REMOVE YOUR PO NUMBER FIELD FROM YOUR INCOMPLETION CHECKS, then see solution 2 or 3 below:**

SOLUTION 2:

Look for an appropriate incompletion procedure for your sales document type without the PO number field field BSTKD) and re-assign this to your sales order (transaction VUA2)

SOLUTION 3:

If from Solution 2 you cannot find an appropriate incompletion procedure, then

Step 1: just make a copy of the existing one and delete the PO number (field BSTKD) in the incompletion procedure (transaction OVA2)

Step 2: save this as a Z* incompletion procedure

Step 3: assign the new incompletion procedure without the PO field (field BSTKD) to your sales document type (transaction VUA2)

HINT: See Incompletion Group A: Sales-Header for this purpose in transaction OVA2; you normally find the PO field in a header-level incompletion procedure

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hope this helps,
