you mean to say this is the only solution I mean by using user exit ???????or do we have any other alternative

Hi Sunaina,

If u r not able to do the requirement with SHD0, the next option is Userexit,

So with the above Userexit u tell ur ABAPer to make the field as disabled in VA01 and VA02.

If you want to make it uneditable at sales order level then use User exit.

If you want to make it at Material master then use field selection. I hope you know the OMS9 transaction code.

Thanks

Hi

Pls let us know, what is your objective?

The Material Description field is copied into the Sales Order from the Material master. If at all you want to make the description field mandatory, then it is advisable to make it mandatory at material master level, rather than at sales Order level.

Anyway, if thats your special requirement, then, instead of Transaction Variant, use the User exit to achieve this. It will be much more simple and effective this way.

E.g. In Program SAPMV45A,

include # MV45AFZZ ,

FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION

& USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT

You can write a code (take abappers help) to make the Field VBAP - ARKTX as mandatory, by putting a condition e.g if that field is blank then system will give an error message etc.

Thanks and award points if useful

Hi!

Follow the below steps

Step 1:

Execute transaction SHD0 and create a Transaction Variant against the original transaction.

Step 2:

As soon as you press the create button, the original screen of the transaction will appear. After pressing any button/tab on the screen a menu variant screen will appear. Make sure to check any field or tab or any button you want to disappear from the menu functions. Press the exit and save button when you are sure that no further settings are required on sub-screens (if present). After pressing the exit and save button another menu variant screen will appear. Press the save button here and save as a local object or under any development class.

Step 3:

When you are back on the Transaction Variant (SHD0) screen, press shift+F6 or click the goto menu and press the create variant transaction button. Through this transaction SE93 will be executed. Enter the transaction name you want to create and any other required field and now press the save button.

<b>Step 4. Activate Standard variant</b> Path: SHD0 ( initial screen) --> Edit --> Activate standard variant --activate.

This will make the variant created by you as the default and active variant.

Step 5. [VA01] - create Sales order -- the required field would be mandatory.

Cheers
