How to set Purchasing Org field Mandatory

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

We are using SRM7.0. When we convert approved shoopping cart to PO, we process through "Assign Sources of Supply". In "Assign Sources of Supply", there is one search field there which is purchasing organization. How do we make this as mandatory/required field.

Or can we auto populate this field per user?

Thanks and Regards,

Sherwin

Hi Sherwin,

You can request the user to set the purchasing organization as a default. You can update table /SAPSRM/SOCO_SET to have default purchasing organization. If the concern is that users can pick any purchasing organization, you can restrict them in the organization structure in the purchasing group --> responsibilities. This way they only see the SCs they are responsible for.

Thanks,

Hello Sherwin,

default search values can be determined by user himself using his "settings":

You can also use /SAPSRM/BD_POWL_CHNG_SELCRIT BAdI definition from /SAPSRM/BD_CLL_POWL_FEEDER Enhancement Spot in order to update changing parameter CT_DEFAULT_VALUES for concerned field.

Regads.

Laurent.
