CU50 open plant field for direct input?

[Former Member]

Hi

Since I have started using SAP and in particular LOVC, it has been of constant annoyance, that in CU50 transaction, the plant

field is closed for direct input.

Every time you need to change plant, you have to click "Change plant..." and scroll down a looooooooooong list of plants.

Especially when this is something you do many times a day, it keeps me wondering, why on earth is this field closed for direct

input?

In just about every other transaction, the plant field is open for input and you can type in whatever plant is possible, but not here.

Does there exist some OSS note which enables this field to be open?

Kind Regards

Hi Heino,

I think there is no OSS note for this, but you can easily create your own logic that will call the CU50 transaction, say something like that:

REPORT  zsd_test.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a.
  PARAMETERS matnr  TYPE matnr MEMORY ID mat.
  PARAMETERS werks  TYPE werks_d MEMORY ID wrk.
SELECTION-SCREEN  END OF BLOCK a.

SET PARAMETER ID 'MAT' FIELD matnr.
SET PARAMETER ID 'WRK' FIELD werks.

CALL TRANSACTION 'CU50' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.

where you can freely select your material and plant combination, and then call the transaction.

I hope this could help in some way.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks for the input Flavio.

I will have to talk with our abap programmer about that - seems rather simple - but he is quite busy at the moment

However, I would have wished that SAP would just open this field as it to me seems inconsistent with other transactions.
