How to gray out (display only) the item number field in PRs and POs

[Former Member]

Dear All

I wanted to gray out the field 'item number' in PRs and POs in ME51N/52N and ME21N/22N transactions.

I have tried using the field selections for the PR and PO documents. But this field is not available there. My users are entering their own numbers which i don't want.

Thanks

dear,

in SAP standard it is not possible, even if it is possible, then how the users can create the PO without the material number? in this case i feel they can only create the service PO. in business logic it shouldn't be grayed out, try to find another solution but not to grayed out the item number field.

Dear you are talking about material field or item number in PO and PR, item number is what is basically item number purchasing document.
