Anamika,

why you want to lock the material text field,

This data fatched from material master data ( Text tab) if you lock this data in PR level, it might impact while u create the PO with refrence to PR,

As SAP has given 2 functinality wheatgher Material text or PR text, chek about your requirement and chek wth your ABAper to how to append the text field

It can be done only by this way if you don't want to involve abap development. Only thing you need to do is Create a new screen layout and assign to the document type for which you want text field to be disbled.

Paths to be followed as IMG-Purchasing-Purchase Requisition - define screen layout at Document level and

IMG - Purchasing - Purchase Requistion - define document types to change the field selection.

Thanks

Hello Anamika M S ,

The same problem i was facing. In this case you have to take the help of ABAPER. The ABAPER will write a program.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Try do the same customising, but, for the field selection ME51N - Create Enjoy purch. requisitn.

And, if this is still not blocked, try with the field selection AKTH - Create.

But, if this is still not blocked. check with an ABAP guy.

Let me know your results.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Go to SPRO - IMG - MM- Purchase requisition - Define Screen Lay Out NBB (For Material PR) PT9B (For Service PR)

Go to basic data and make the Material Description field "Display"

Hi Anamika,

First check the field screen assigned to the Purchase Requisition document type.

For that, go to SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Define document types. Once you are there, check the value in the "FieldSel." field assigned to the PReq. type (i.e. NBB).

Now, go to SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Define Screen Layout at Document level. Once you are there, double click to the "FieldSel" value found before, i.e. NBB.

Then, double click to the "Basic Data, Item" field selection.

Now, you will see many fields.

Look for the "Short text" field and active the "Display" check box for this.

Then, save the data and create a PR in ME51N, and you will see that the short field is greyed.

Hope this help.

Kind regards,

SP
