how to hide some buttons like CREATE PURCHASE ORDER, COPY, EDIT from POWL?

[Former Member]

In SRM 7 ECS we need to hide some buttons like CREATE PURCHASE ORDER, COPY, EDIT from POWL"s. We can do some manipulation via security but we need to make a few buttons invisible without security. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi Ashwani,

Every POWL application will have feeder class attached to it. you can able to find it using the transaction POWL_TYPE where feeder class is attached to the powl type.

In the get_actions method in the feeder class you can restrict the buttons based on your requirement showing up in the toolbar of the powl.

Thanks & Regards,
