Hi All,

Thanks for support

Solution ::

Class    :  /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_SHARED_USER

Method :  INIT_USER_ATTRIBUTES

Implemented Enhancement for the above class and Cleared below Fields.

mv_global_data-category_id and mv_global_data-category

Hi. Yunus and Monalisa have the best ideas by using a dummy category either local or backend with BADI to stop it being used, but you could enahance the webdynpro to remove the default, I have removed the default delivery date this way, can not see why you could not do it for category, and then issue an error if it is not selected.

You could even hide the standard category field and add a custom field, then use doc change BADI to move from the custom into the standard.

Hello Sheelam,

When creating a shopping cart, default product category will be proposed, even if no default category is defined in PPOMA_BBP. In such case, system will take the first product category found and display it to the user.

In standard, it is no possible to have a blank product category in shopping cart.

Having said that, there is a consulting note 1498455 available, which is relevant for cases when you add an item to shopping cart via pop-up window, using add item button (shopping card wizard/free text item). If this note is applied, blank product category will be displayed in the pop-up.

However, if you are creating a new shopping cart using the professional screen, you will be able to see the default product category.

You could also adopt a workaround that is being used by many other customers.

As a workaround they create a "dummy" product category with description like "select product category" and set this one as default.

Then if the user tries to use this product category, error message is raised saying to select a different product category (via BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI). Then end user would be forced to select a different one.

I hope the above information helps.

Best Regards,

Monalisa

Hi Sheelam,

Create an local srm product category, and do not maintain description in your local language (you may maintain it in an other language like "Please select").

Set this newly created local product category to default. Because of missing translation, users will not able to use this product category and add item, also "please select" would be shown in screen.

Hi Sheelam,

This is hard-coded, and even if you remove the default value from extended attributes, the first product category will be set as default.

The coding is as below:

CL_BBP_ATTR_SCENARIO==========CM00D
CONVERT_HR_VALUES_TO_BBP (CL_BBP_ATTR_SCENARIO)

WGR will be auto-defaulted

*     'Auto-Default Flag' (on request)
      AT END OF (l_backend).
        IF ( l_dft_found IS INITIAL ) AND
           ( NOT <omattvalrt>-attrib = 'PRCAT' ) AND
           ( NOT set_auto_dft IS INITIAL ).
          wa_vlist-dft_flag      = 'X'.
          wa_vlist-auto_dft_flag = 'X'.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR l_dft_found.
      ENDAT.

      AT END OF attrib.
        IF ( l_backend   IS INITIAL ) AND
           ( l_dft_found IS INITIAL ) AND
           ( NOT <omattvalrt>-attrib = 'PRCAT' ) AND
           ( NOT set_auto_dft IS INITIAL ).
          wa_vlist-dft_flag      = 'X'. <
          wa_vlist-auto_dft_flag = 'X'. <
        ENDIF.
        IF NOT <bbp_attr>-get_label IS INITIAL.
          l_get_label = 'X'.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR: l_lc_attr, l_be_attr, l_backend, l_dft_found.
      ENDAT.

You can only aachieve your requirement by modification.

Best regards,
