Editing of catalog transfered item in SC

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are working with SRM7.0, SP09. I have confirgured the system for extended classic scenario with catalong integration. We have a requirement to make the free text catalog item editable which we acheived by making fields CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM blank.

The problem here is that this enhancement is also removing the vendor and price information of the catalog item, which we don't want to.

Can anyone suggest a way to retain this information in a free text catalog item while keeping it editable? Your solutions and suggestions will be highly regarded.

Thanks & Regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant ,

To make the free text catalog item editable and removing the vendor and price information of the catalog item

no need to make fields CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM blank

you need to create the enhancement for the class /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_DYN_MDF_IT_SC

in post method of description you need to add this code

IF ( is_item-catalogid IS NOT INITIAL OR

is_item-catalogitem IS NOT INITIAL OR

is_item-subtype EQ /sapsrm/if_pdo_obj_types_c=>gc_subtype_i_dp ).

cs_metadata-visible = abap_true.

cs_metadata-enabled = abap_true.

cs_metadata-required = abap_false.

for price , you need to create the enhancement an add this code

IF ( NOT is_item-catalogid IS INITIAL AND

is_item-gross_price IS INITIAL AND

is_item-ctr_hdr_number IS INITIAL ) OR

( is_item-catalogid IS NOT INITIAL AND

is_item-price_origin NE /sapsrm/if_pdo_price_calc_c=>gc_priceorig_found AND

is_item-ctr_hdr_number IS INITIAL ) .

cs_metadata-visible = abap_false.

cs_metadata-enabled = abap_false.

cs_metadata-required = abap_false.

.

ELSE.

cs_metadata-visible = abap_false.

cs_metadata-enabled = abap_false.

cs_metadata-required = abap_false.

ENDIF.

Hi Pradeep,

This solution helped to make the free text catalog item editable in SC for the requester.

I observed that once SC is submitted and send for completion approval, the approver is no longer able to edit the free text of the catalog item. We want to allow the purchaser to edit the free text description, product category and price.

Can you pls also suggest for this requirement?

Thanks & Regards,

Prashant
