Changing the field of Country of Destination in PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using Import tab in the PO , Item level> Import Tab>"Origin/Destination/Business"> there is a field for Country of destination, i know this is coming from the Plant code country and this is always greyed out in ME21N/22N.

Is there any availability to change this field from greyed out to changable mode, so that we can chnage it whenever we required while raise PO's.

Thanks in advance..

is in your special case the country of destination in the import tab different from the country of destination in the delivery address tab?

why would you like to report a movement in the trade statistics to country A, while you ask your vendor to deliver to country B?

In other words, maintain a proper delivery address in the delivery address tab.

Hallo Jürgen,

yes this is a special case for the importing of materials.and when they do third party PO then also it's taking the same country of destination from plant e.g it should take Customer country and not Plant country...

I even changed manually the delivery address but it still do not change the country of dest.(this case is for normal stock Po from import)

OSS Note 481600 - FAQ: Import data in purchasing

says it is always filled from the country of the plant.

[JL23]

and OSS Note 1387693 - INTRASTAT arrivals - region of destination from deliv.addr.

has a solution.

Hi Jürgen,

From the above two notes it says that it's not possible to chnage the country of destination field to editable, so it should be always greyed out..correct?

[JL23]

yes, it is not possible to change the destination country in the PO.

but for Intrastat reporting you can exchange the value during runtime by using the user exit.
