Hi all,

In VOV8 can i do customization of Check PO no field on General Tab. I have requirement to add one more prefix to that field.

Can anybody tell me how this field is determined and where i can customize this enteries?

For Example

Blank - No check

A - Check whether purchase order no already exists.

Now I would like to include other prefix B for our customization.

regards

Hi Ravi,

I need the solution to find out where that field is holding on SAP.

Again rephrasing my question below:

Hi Gopi,

am not sure if its suggestable to make changes to the standard functionality by adding values. However from an abap perspective we should be able to add values and even code but at the same time to make it does nt disturb / affect any other funcitonality is a risk. Perhaps if you can just elaborate on the requirement behind, may be we can come up with some other solution.

Hi Sadhu,

We have the requirement that add a field of PO format on customer master (e-g - alphanumeric or numeric or only alpha) then whenever sales order enter for particular customer that would validate and check whether it is matching those formats and also check duplicate PO.

How shall we propose the solution is there any standard functianility or any code we need to write on which program?

Hi,

I hope adding a new field value to order type PO field would not serve the purpose then since the definition would apply to all customer globally and you cannot have two values for an order type.

My idea, you can use the customer master > Extras > additional data > free definable attributes to create the required alpha numeric / numeric / alpha keys. Then make use of the userexit " Userexit_save_document_prepare " to check whether the PO number text is filled according or not.

Standard sap always makes sure that under a sales doc category for example its C for OR order type, there cannot be two sales orders with the same PO number whether text or number form. It throws a warning. So you may convert that to an error message if needed.

I guess this provides some inputs to meet your requirement.

Thanks Sadhu,

That's what we proposed the solution to customer earlier but customer did not agree because they have done same thing for some other funcationality due to inconsistency we included a field in table KNVV and then we built a logic in the sales order user exist to validate the purchase order against new check rule (is a copy of the existing checking rule used for producing warning message) to produce error message if PO format is different.
