How to allow only one cost center in purchase requisition ?

[Former Member]

Hello,

Could you please explain me how to allow only one cost center in purchase requisition ? And if the purchase requisition contains several cost centers I want to display an error message when the user clicks on the save button.

Thank you,

Regards,

Tom.

Hi,

This can not be standard feature, you can use BADi ME_REQ_POSTED to restrict user at PR level for specific cost centre.

thanks for stepping in, of course my proposed PO BADI cannot be used in PRs.

ME_REQ_POSTED is for old transaction. Use ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST.

ME_REQ_POSTED is for which old tcode?

ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST is for which tcode?

Please elaborate.

Hi,

Old t-code means ME51

New one means ME51N

Yes but It doesn't have too much option like ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST.

I would recommend ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST it work with ME51N and ME52N

Thank you for your answer.

I am not familiar with BADi "ME_REQ_POSTED". Do you know how I can proceed in order to restrict PR to one cost center ?

Thank you,

Another BADI -ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST... You can use interface Item processing to stop the users while creating not at time of post...as soon user put wrong Cost center...he will get error using the method item_processing

Thank you for your answer.

There is no standard customizing to restrict a PR to just one cost center.

This would even be contra-productive in most companies.

Because of that you would have to use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to create your own logic .
