Batch feild grayed out in PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The Batch number field in material data tab is grayed out in the purchase order, but when the info record number is removed from the line item, the batch number feild is not grayed out.

Does anyone know if it is the SAP standard or is it due to some other reasons?

In the end of function MEPOBADI_FS_ITEM include the implicit enhancement.

LOOP AT ch_fieldselection INTO w_fieldselection WHERE metafield = '132'. " Disabled Batch Field
 w_fieldselection-fieldstatus = '*' .
 MODIFY ch_fieldselection FROM w_fieldselection.
 CLEAR w_fieldselection.
ENDLOOP.

is your material subject to split valuation?

is your material batch managed?

If the first question is answered Yes and second No, then the batch number is filled with the valuation type instead of a batch number, then your info record has the valuation type maintained, and you cannot overwrite it in the PO

Hi Jurgen,

Actually my answer to your first questions is No and second questions is Yes.

Does it still hold the same?

no, the info record has a field for valuation type, but not for a batch.
