Remove 'Service' option in Item type in the Shopping cart screen

[Former Member]

Dear all,

SRM 7.0: In Shopping cart create screen --> in Item Data tab --> there is a field called "Item Type".

Item Type has a list box with options "Material" and "Service".

Requirement: Disable / Remove the option "Service" available in an Item Type.

JUSTIFICATION for this requirement:

The Service Item Type was never intended to be used in SRM for my client, but that option was never disabled and users are occasionally selecting it. This is causing a lot of problems for the AP team, so the Service Item Type should be disabled so that it cannot be selected.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISABLE THE OPTION "SERVICE" IN AN ITEM TYPE?

If possible, please help to me achieve it or Please suggest.

Regards,

Prem

Hi Prem,

Easiest solution would be to implement a BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI ensuring an error is thrown if the following is true:

If the object is of type BUS2121 and the shoppingcart is of type 'service' (BBP_PDIGP-PRODUCT_TYPE = u201C02u201D) an error message is triggered/shown. This message explains that SC of type service shouldn't be used.

In addition you could look in to 'modification enhancing' the SC screens via SE80, this would need to be executed for all of the SC transactions and will actually be able to remove the service option however this also has the downside of being harder to reverse. Please discuse this in more detailwith your developer he should know how an enhancement can be implement.

Kind regards,

Tim
