If you don't mind then please tell which keys you have currently done.

Otherwise it looks like a "do my work"-request, especially as we already have countless questions on those settings which are good explained in the IMG help too

There is a sequence how SAP is checking

1) transaction

2) activity type

3) document type

4) item category

5) functional authorization

6) sub item

SAP starts with the field selection for the transaction

and builds a kind of summary together with the field selection of activity type

1. key + 2. key = result

----------------------------------------

mandatory + mandatory = mandatory

mandatory + optional = mandatory

mandatory + display = display

mandatory + suppressed = suppressed

optional + mandatory = mandatory

optional + optional = optional

optional + display = display

optional + suppressed = suppressed

display + mandatory = display

display + optional = display

display + display = display

display + suppressed = suppressed

suppressed + any key = suppressed


then it takes this summary and adds the 3rd for document type to get a new summary,

after that it uses this summary and adds the 4th key for item category to get again a new summary.

And the last summary defines how the field appears to you.


I did a very small test in my IDES system, I only needed to make the NBF storage location field "display" and it became display, since the storage location field is nowhere suppressed (this can be assumed as it is visible in your transaction, and any combination with suppressed result in suppressed )and any other combination with "display" setting results in "display".


However, I am not sure if you really want it that way.

Because for normal purchase order is will become as well display only, as Inter-company and normal purchase orders use both NB.


Looking at the item category does not help either, as it is 0 and as well identical with the usual item categories in normal NB orders


What remains? a new document type for Inter-Company to separate it from NB

Try this.

Just make the field display for field selection PT7F - Stock transport item PO.

Rest of all other field selection key, make the field as optional.

To get more details just look into the sap help doc in the path

Thanks for sharing this. I was looking for 'info update' indicator in PO Material Data tab to be visible and I tried most of the sequences you mentioned and it all worked. Thanks again.
