Can the Delivery Date be left with no value in Purchasing Order?

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Experts,

Good day! I just want to ask if it is possible for the Delivery Date in the Purchase Order to be left with no value? Whenever we remove the delivery date, it comes back when we save the PO. Is there a way for it to be blank?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Senthil P,

Thanks for the quick reply. We'll just make adjustments in our PO print out.

hi Senthil P,

Here is the situation. For most of the PO that we are creating, we rarely use the delivery time. However, there are rare occasions where we put the delivery date. We made an enhancement of our PO print out and the date in the delivery date field was taken from the table. Is there a way where the delivery date in the printout can be left blank and show it when we need to?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi, Normally delivery dates can not be kept blank, If you send PO print to Vendor he should also know when to deliver,

But as per your requirement, you can make 1 more output type copying the standard output type 'NEU' & make a new one 'NEU1' & in that ask your abaper to suppress the field for Delivery dates, so you can take the Print with & without Delivery dates accordingly by changing the output types.

if you just want del. date not to be printed, than you can do this in your print layout program itself.

Hi There

As other post said, You have to do the change/Develeopment in your print program (Copy the standard one and do the changes as per your requirement)

Hi Matt,

I had the exact same requirement, the ABAPer just changed the print output program and it was done. No big shakes, little effort!
