SRM- blank field for describe field in describe requirement

[rahul_gupta12]

hi ,

i have a requirement to set the default value as "blank" in SRM 5.0 for describe requirement and the field name is category followed by the drop down list .

requirement:

for every user the drop down list should set the default value as "blank". i.e when ever the shopping cart is created by describe requirement (any user) the category field should be blank. please answer the question as i'm new to SRM environment i'm not able to find the screen where we can make the changes as in general ABAP.

Hi Rahul.

Why would you want to have this field blank, it is a required field for document creation? The value here is read from the users attributes, I guess if you wanted you could either remove the categories from the attributes or prevent them reading of these by some enhancement coding.

hi,

Thanks for reply , but senario needs all user attribute to be set , we cannot delete the attribute of user as per the requirement . please tell me wether possible through the ITS screen by finding out the screen number and hard code to initialize the drop down list .. or any other way ..

Hi Rahul,

If using the SRM 5.0 release you can use the BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI to influence the screen display in the various Business Objects, the filter dependent Badi can be set to clear the relevent field depending on your requirements. I would try that as the next step.

Try to use the webdynpro component for describe screen. once you find the component in the methods you will enhancements which you can use to write your own code.
