Marking Fields as display only in SAP ECC

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have centralization scenario for Vendor master data. We have a requirement that once the Vendor Master data is created in SAP MDM and syndicated to SAP ECC, the ECC users should not be able to change the data for the fields coming from SAP MDM, i.e they should not be able to make change to the field values in Vendor Master data coming from SAP MDM, through XK01 and XK02. But at the same time these MDM fields should get updated if it is updated by an IDoc.

Do we have any exits for Vendor in SAP ECC which can be called during XK01/XK02 which will make the SAP MDM fields non editable from the XK01/XK02 screen.

Please help.

Best Regards

Hi Manoj,

In the ECC go to the SPRO transacción and find:

- Financial Accounting / Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable / Vendor Accounts / Master Data / Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data / Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)

You need to change the customizing by each Account Group and put the fields that came from MDM in "Display" mode

Daniel,

Thank you. So if we make the fields as Display fields in SPRO, Can they still be updated by an IDoc?

Also, is there any way that we can make the characteristic values for a given class in Classification, which are coming from SAP MDM, as display only.

Best Regards

Manoj

You need to manage this with Roles and users defination in SAP ECC. better if you can have 2 roles, PI will be using posting data using system user which will have write access and your all other users will have read only access so thay will not be able to change any data in vendor master. Basis / security team will help you with that. we did it in this way...
