Manage Ship-to party Purchase order date at item level

[Former Member]

Hello Experts:

I have a requirement in which the business wants to maintain "Purchase order date" field for "Ship-to party"

in "Order Data" tab at the Item level. So different items in the same order can have a different

date for that field.

I have check marked the "Business Item" option in Item Category maintenance that

allows to manipuate the data at the item level.

I still see the field is greyed out. The field in questions is BSTDK_E.

Pls. help

Thanks,

RR

Hi

Please check two things here.

Business Item field is checked for this item category in VOV7.

In VOV8 for this order type check in field Variant whether they have assigned some variant or not?

Check this and update.

Thanks Moazzam.

In vov7, the "Business Item" is checked

In vov8, the "Variant" field is empty.

What else could be the issue here?

Hi

These were only two reasons in my mind. I don't think so there is any other control in standard for this. Did you check with your ABAPER if there is any customization in this screen or field? You need to check this with some ABAPER as well.

Thanks for your help. I had 1 more question-

In theory, the field that I have mentioned here can be maintained for each item individually as well as the header right? The reason i am asking is the field has the same table and column for item as well as header.

Thanks,

I was able to solve it.

It was an item category in APO that was not marked "Business Item" that

was greying out the field.

Thanks for your help.
