Field Selection Is Overlayed By Personal Setting In ME21N

Hello All,
The scenario is this we have a purchase order type - that has unique settings which we don't want certain fields updated/entered.
However, we are finding that users have personal settings that are still getting entered into the system despite the field being set to display.
Does anyone have any suggestions to remediate this....
Kind Regards,
Steve

You can restrict certain fields using authorization.Explore authorization objects for ME21N in SU24.

  • FIELD SELECTION KEY

    Hi,
           I have a query regarding Field Selection Key.
    I want to know the difference between Field Selection Keys AKTH, ME21, and ME21N.
    I have observed during Testing that, AKTH and ME21N are almost the same.
    But, I like to know the difference.
    Which is to be used when?
    Please give suitable suggestions in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    Go through following information.
    Field selection key: -
    You should not delete the field selection keys listed below, which the dialog program uses for control purposes, otherwise the dialog may terminate during processing:
    1. Field selection key: transaction
    The field selection key that corresponds to the transaction code: for example, field selection key ME22 for the transaction "Change Purchase Order". For the Enjoy Purchase Order transactions (creating, changing, displaying), there is only field selection key ME21N.
    2. Field selection key: activity type
    Is set from the activity type as follows:
    AKTH    In creation mode
    AKTV    In change mode
    AKTA    In display mode
    AKTE    With PO extension
    You should note that you can also add items in change mode (for example, transaction ME22). Field selection key AKTH would be used for this item.
    3. Field selection key: purchasing document type
    The field selection key that you have assigned to the document type for the purchasing document. For example, field selection key UBF is assigned to document type UB, which is used for stock transfer orders (within a company code). In this key, the fields Price and Price unit are suppressed.
    4. Field selection key: item category/document category
    This is determined from the item and document categories as follows: The first two characters consist of the letters 'PT', the third character of the item category (internal representation), and the fourth of the document category:
    A   for RFQs,
    B   for purchase requisitions
    F   for purchase orders
    K   for contracts
    L   for scheduling agreements
    Accordingly, field selection key PT3F would be used for a subcontracting item in a purchase order.
    Field selection key: function authorization/release status
    Purchasing documents: Used for authorization control. If the user parameter EFB (function authorizations in Purchasing) has been assigned and a field selection key has been assigned to the relevant value, this field selection key is used. Otherwise, field selection key $$$$ is used if the user has insufficient authorization to display prices.
    Purchase requisitions: If the purchase requisition is subject to a release strategy and a field selection key has been assigned to the current release indicator, this field selection key is used.
    Field selection key: subitem/creation indicator
    Purchasing documents: Is only used in the case of subitems. The field selection key is put together in the same way as for the item categories (field selection key 4), with the string 'UP', the subitem category, and the document type.
    Purchase requisitions: the field selection key that is derived from the creation indicator in the purchase requisition, that is, ESTV, ESTF, or ESTD, is used in the case of purchase requisitions generated from within Sales and Distribution, from a production order, or through direct procurement.
    5. Field selection key: purchase requisition
    In addition to the available field selection keys, you can define a field selection key at function authorization level to influence the input characteristics of fields in the Enjoy Purchase Requisition.
    You can use this field selection key to set up groups of users that have certain restrictions when editing purchase requisitions.
    SAP Recommendation: -
    SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.

  • Table ROOSFIELD Field "SELECTION"  value "A"

    Hello,
    My problem is as follows:
    I want to extract the fields REFBN, REFBK, REFGJ etc. from CO to BW using the data source 0CO_OM_CCA_9. These fields are included in the structure BWOM2_REFBLG which in turn included in the extraction structure ICCTRCSTA1 relevant to 0CO_OM_CCA_9.
    However the fields REFBN etc. are NOT visible in the data source 0CO_OM_CCA_9 using transaction RSA6.
    I therefore checked the table ROOSFIELD and the settings for the field SELECTION in this table was set to "A" (Field in BW & OLTP hidden by SAP) for the fields REFBN etc. Therefore the fields REFBN etc. are not visible in the DataSource.
    I would like to know the following:
    1. What is the significance of the value "A" for the field SELECTION?? I mean, why would SAP want to hide a particular field??
    2. What are the consequences of changing the settings from A to something else??
    I look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.
    Raja
    Message was edited by: Rajasekhar Chalasani

    Hi Raja,
    give it a try and change the value to space using a little test abap and maintain the datasource again. After all, test it in rsa3 before you replicate it.
    I already did the same a few times and it worked. It might be possible that a field will not work as selection field but feel free to try.
    Sometimes you find some of these fields and there is a oss note available, telling that sap decides in some case whether it makes sense or not to get a field with a specific extractor.
    regards
    Siggi

  • Field selection for G/L account 893010 not set up

    Hi,
    when iam creating a purchase order with reference of purchase requisition it is showing error as field selection for G/L account 893010 not set up,
    Thanking you,
    sukumar.P

    Hello,
    The field status are set up in two places.
        - on G/L account ( Tcode: FS03 - display, Tcode: OB14 Maintain )
        - on account assignment category in purchasing (Tcode: OME9)
          Both settings must fit to each other. If not, you receive error message ME 045 says that G/L account cannot be used.
          'Earmarked fund' should never be 'Req. Entry in G/L account's field status group setting.
          Because the MIGO document will not store 'earmarked fund' therefore no earmarked fund in accounting document either.
    For further information and guidance, take assistance of FI consultant in your team.

  • Set Field Selection for Completion Confirmation

    I want to change the indicator of one field from "ready to input" to "required"..But i couldnt understand exactly the hierarchy under "Set Field Selection for Completion Confirmation"  tab in SPRO. there are 3 parts under that tab;
    1-PM: Confirmation - initial screen
    2-PM: Confirmation - list and detail
    3-PM: Confirmation - parameter
    and i also couldnt find the name of my field which is about "codes for causes"..
    Thanks...

    Russ,
      I don't think it could be accomplished through configuration or through Transaction variants.
    I think the simplest way to accomplish this would be by using one of the below user exits according to your needs.
    CONFPM02: Customer-specific entry checks 1
    CONFPM03: Customer-specific check by operation selection
    CONFPM04: Customer-specific entry checks 2
    The other option would be to use the Implicit enhancement functionality(If you are in EC C6.0 or above)  to modify the table control field attributes dynamically.

  • ME21N Document type wise Field selection

    While creating the PO, in ME21N screen, i am have 5 different document types for Document type ZNB3 i want to make Account assignment category as mandatory and also the enduser have to select K(Compulsary).
    Is it possible to set acc *** category K as default for ZNB3 document type..or otherwise this field should be made mandatory only for this ZNB3 Document type
    Pls Guide me..

    Yes. It is possible.
    First make the Acc ***. category as mandatory field in SPRO->MM->PUR->Purchase Order->Define Screen Layout at Document Level.
    Please note that, for Standard PO field selection key is NBF which is set id Doc type level in SPRO->MM->PUR->Purchase Order->Define Document Types. In your case, create a new field Selection key and assign it in the doc. type.
    If you want to default the value as K, just assign K in ME21N Personal Settings.
    If you want to restrict only K, configure Allowed combinations for Acc. ***. category and item category in OMG0

  • Field Selection error for movement type and G/L account

    I am currently experiencing a field selection error between movement type 601 and G/L account 7140000.  The problem field is 'Segment'.  This field is set to required for the G/L account, but it is hidden for the movement type 601. This inconsistency causes an error when posting the goods movement. According to business requirement the field must be required for the G/L account, therefore we must make this field optional for the movement type.
    However, in configuration the field segment does not appear for the movement type 601. Therefore it can not be changed to optional.
    Does anyone know a workaround other than making this field optional for the G/L account because the business requirement is to have this field as required?????
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    On the Error message detail, system will guide you to the Configuration details for Field settings for Movement type & Account, please get in touch with your FI consultant, to make the Field selection for the account similr to that of your movement type, this is a very common issue.

  • Payment Terms in Personal Setting in PO

    Hi,
    In our company, we want that the payment terms of the PO should come from the vendor master, and we have greyed out the payment terms in the all po doc type, recently we have observed that some users have maintained wrong payment terms in the personal settting of the po screen (me21n), now he is able to save the po with the wrong payment terms,
    now we want to remove payment terms field from the personal setting.
    Please advise how to do it. sothat no user will be able to maintain personal setting for payment terms,
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Ishu

    Hi Ishu,
    I don't think this is possible in standard SAP. But you might be able to force the payment terms from the vendor into the PO using the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, method PROCESS_HEADER. The method is called after the default values have been applied - so you can reset the payment terms back there.
    Call the method IM_HEADER->GET_DATA to get the PO header data, change the payment terms and store back the data by calling the method IM_HEADER->SET_DATA.

  • I have a 60G classic with a non-functioning center select button. Can I set a specific playlist and change settings by hooking up to my PC and then maintain those settings and that playlist once I go remote?

    I have a 60G classic with a non-functioning center select button. Can I set a specific playlist and change settings by hooking up to my PC and then maintain those settings and that playlist once I go remote?

    I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
    Let's start with Firefox's settings:
    (1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
    There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
    There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
    That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
    Related articles:
    * [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
    * [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
    (2) Site-specific permissions
    If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
    After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
    (3) Form autocomplete suggestions
    Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
    To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
    To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
    To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

    Hi,
    I don't think supressing through Global Personalization will change the business logic. Within the Business Logic it checks for the mandatory field.
    After the changes I guess you need to make the changes accordingly.
    The below link might be of some help.

  • Select one record per person from multiple conditions

    Perhaps been staring at this too long and making changes to try and gather the correct population, but can't seem to figure it out at the moment. Trying to determine logic to select one record per person. If person has more than one record would like to choose the record that matches the sequence priority which is:
    AND CASE WHEN ac.primary_program_ind = 'N'                                       --Existing Students who have a new program (Continuing Law and added Business)
                                   AND ac.academic_period_admitted = ac.academic_period
                                   AND ac.student_population <> 'V'
                                   AND ac.program is not null THEN 'Y'
                                WHEN ac.primary_program_ind = 'Y'                                        --Visitors (Each term considered new)
                                   AND ac.student_population = 'V'
                                   AND ac.academic_period_admitted is not null THEN 'Y'
                                WHEN ac.primary_program_ind = 'Y'                                        --Normal Cases
                                   AND ac.academic_period_admitted is not null THEN 'Y' --= ac.academic_period THEN 'Y'
                       END = 'Y' Meaning that if the person has records that meet more than one of the above cases, it should choose the record matching the First Case of the case statement. If the records do not meet the first case at all then look to see if it meets the second case and if it does choose that record, etc.
    Sample Data:
    SELECT 363 AS PERSON_UID, '1875' AS ID, '201140' AS ACADEMIC_PERIOD, '201040' AS ACADEMIC_PERIOD_ADMITTED, 'UG' AS STUDENT_LEVEL, '' AS EXIST_NEWPROG, 'Y' AS VISITORS, 'Y' AS NORMAL, 'V' AS STUDENT_POPULATION, 'Y' AS PRIMARY_PROGRAM_IND, 'LA' AS PROGRAM FROM DUAL
    UNION SELECT 852, '1962', '201130', '201040', 'GR', '', '', 'Y', 'C', 'Y', 'MS'  FROM DUAL
    UNION SELECT 852, '1962', '201140', '201140', 'GR', 'Y', '', '', 'G', 'N', 'MBA' FROM DUAL
    UNION SELECT 852, '1962', '201140', '201040', 'GR', '', '', 'Y', 'G', 'Y', 'MS' FROM DUAL
    UNION SELECT 659, '1093', '201140', '200840', 'UG', '', '', 'Y', 'T', 'Y', 'BB' FROM DUALSo for the above data on ID '1962', I would like to select the record that has EXIST_NEWPROG = 'Y' and ignore the other rows for that ID. Note:EXIST_NEWPROG, VISITORS, NORMAL I added to sample data, these cols don't actually exist. Put in for easier display purpose to show what case statements are doing. The actual sql statement has many joins and where statements, but hopefully this simplification of the sql will be sufficient to derive a solution.

    Thanks Frank. I've been incorporating your solution and going over the data, (which is why it has taken so long to respond) and am getting closer, however the approach you provided excludes people who have a "RNum" of 2 or 3, but do not have a 1 at all. So people that only have a 2 and 3 OR only have a 2 or only have a 3 would not be captured, but if there is only one record, they would be missed.
    Here is another set of records of one person.
    SELECT 921 AS PERSON_UID, '8284' AS ID, '201130' AS ACADEMIC_PERIOD, '201030' AS ACADEMIC_PERIOD_ADMITTED, 'UG' AS STUDENT_LEVEL, '' AS EXIST_NEWPROG, 'Y' AS VISITORS, 'Y' AS NORMAL, 'V' AS STUDENT_POPULATION, 'Y' AS PRIMARY_PROGRAM_IND, 'LA' AS PROGRAM FROM DUAL

    Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem.
    If I add the two new rows of sample data that you posted today to the data you posted yesterday, then the query I posted yesterday produces:
    PERSON_UID ID   ACADEM ACADEM ST E V N S P PRO      R_NUM
           659 1093 201140 200840 UG     Y T Y BB           1
           363 1875 201140 201040 UG   Y Y V Y LA           1
           852 1962 201140 201140 GR Y     G N MBA          1
           921 8284 201130 201030 UG   Y Y V Y LA           1Io you get the correct output for the original ids?
    If I DELETE all the rows where id != 8284 I still get the same results for id=8284.
    'm using Oracle 11.1.0.6.0. What version are you running?
    Post your exact code, even iof you think you copied it from thsi site without any changes. Perhaps there was some subtle eidting mistake.
    I would like to select the record for Academic_Period = 201140 for this person. Is the problem that you're getting the wrong row for id=8284, or that you're not getting any output for id=8284?
    Why would you want to get the row with academic_period=201140? (Let's call this row A.) Why don't you want the other row for that person, the one with academic_period=201130? (Let's call this row B.) On both of those rows, primary_program_ind='Y' and academic_period_admitted is not NULL. The only significant difference between those two rows is that student_population='F' on row A, and it's 'V' on row B. Doesn't that mean that row B causes the CASE expression to return 3 ("Normal Case"), while row B makes it return 2 ("Visitor")? Doesn't that mean row B should be preferred to row A?
    Then again, perhaps this is just what you mean by saying that "term" is the main factor in deciding which row to select, and that the CASE expreesion ("New Program" before "Visitors", followed by "Normal Cases") is just a tie-breaker.
    Based on my understanding of the code you provided, this person is being excluded altogether because they do not have a record that evaluates to rnum = 1.ROW_NUMBER never returns a value of 2 or 3 unless it has already returned a value of 1. (At least that's how it's supposed to work, and I've never heard of any bugs concerning it.)
    This record is also complicated because it has two terms, Does "term" mean "academic_period" here?
    in all cases, we would want to select the highest term and then if there is still more than one qualifying record, base the "tie breaker" on the cases. Does this make sense or is my explanation still unclear?It's unclear.
    Maybe you need to add one more line at the beginning of the analytic ORDER BY clause (the 6th line below):
    WITH     got_r_num     AS
         SELECT     m.*
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  id

    Hi Narasimhan,
                           I got the field where the changes need to be done.In Notification reference screen I had set the Function Location as a mandatory field.
    Problem solved by me it self.
    Thanks for your Effort.
