Field Selection Key In Release Indicator For PR

Hi,
Can you explain what is the use of Field Selection Key in Release indicator for PR on what basis to select this value.
regards,
zafar

Hi
Field selection key directs which values can be changed after the relevant release indicators have been set
Eg suppose you want to supress the field for PR after first release indicator has been set you have to assign the relevant field selection key to Release indicator
you can assign the same to the release indicators in
spro-mm-Purchasing -PR-Procedure with classification-set up Procedure with classification-release indicators
you can set the field selection key in
spro-mm-purchasing -PR- define screen layout at document level

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.

Free PO indicator in field selection key/group

Hi all,
I would like to make Free PO indicator as mandatory field in PO thru specific document type field selection reference key. When I search for the field, it is not available for existing field selection key (Field selection group).
How can I add the Free PO indicator into this field selection key/group or Does it represented in different name.
Kindly clarify.
With regards
Suddy

Hi,
"Free Indicator" doesn't exist in field selection. If you wanto to have Free Indicator ON for a specific PO Document Type then you need to do ABAP Development for this.
Use BAdi --> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST
Interface --> PROCESS_ITEM (Processing of Item Data)
Below is the Sample Code for your reference;
If w_bsart EQ 'ZPOD'.
wa_item3-repos = ' '.
ELSE.
ENDIF.

Field selection KEY for NBF.

Dear Friends
Iam cerating a STO document type with Field Selection Key NBF. and in Selection group, activated the fields Tax Code, GR/IR control, GR/IR indicator

( VAT tax code created in ftxp). But doc type NB (Normal PO) Invoice tab is comming.
Can any body help me out how to resolve this issue. Urgent.

Use of field selection Key.

Hello
I am implementing the release strategy for the Purchase requisition. can anyone please tell me what is the significance of "Field selection key" and "Value change" under the release indicator.
Regards

Dear,
In the standard system, SAP will not allow changes to the quantity, unit of measure, or price when an approver is executing the release
transaction. If you require that other fields, such as delivery date, plant, etc., not be modified via the release transaction, this field selection key is useful.
Field selection key: If you want to allow certain fields to be changed during or after a release, you can modify the Field Selection Key. To modify the Field Selection Key, follow the menu path in the IMG: Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition >
Define Screen Layout at Document level. Once you have created a custom field selection key, you should create a custom release indicator by maintaining a new entry in the u201CCreate Release Indicatorsu201D screen.
It is also possible to configure the release to not be restarted if the amounts have only changed a specified percentage. To do this, enter u201C4 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or valueu201D and a percentage in the u201CValue chgsu201D field.

Syed Hussain.

Field Selection Keys related to Purchase Order

Hi,
I have a query regarding Field Selection Key.
When we go to Field Selection Screen connected to Purchase Order, we can find so many Field Selection Keys viz., $$$$, $$$2, AKTH, ME21N, etc.
How to judge which is to be used when?
I like to know how these Field Selection Keys are linked to Purchase Order Screen in the background.
Please guide me in this regard by giving proper suggestions in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your valuable information.
I like to know few more things.
1) Is it possible to create our own Field Selection Key?
2) If you observe the list of Field Selection Keys related to Purchase Order Screen, you can see that there are Field Selection Keys by name ME21N, ME21, AKTH, etc.
If the Field Selection Keys are predefined by SAP, it is OK. But, if there is an option to create our own Field Selection Key, then what is the procedure to do the same?
It seems that ME21N, ME21, and AKTH are used for Create Purchase Order Screen.
There are also keys ME22N and ME23N used for Change Purchase Order Screen and Display Order Screen.
I am little bit confused about this.
We are linking the Field Selection Keys to the Document Types.
But, I think it is only for create Purchase Order Screen. Please correct, if I am wrong.
Also, I like to know how we are linking the Field Selection Keys related to Change Purchase Order Screen and Display Purchase Order Screen?
Please clarify all my doubts by giving proper suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Release Indicator for Purchase Order

Dear All,
While we set release indicator for release of ourchase order, we select changeble ststus of Purchase Order during release.
As per standard if we set 1 - Not changable and after creation of Purchase Order release indicator set as "Blocked" which is having changable status as "1-Not Changable", then also system allow to change Purchase Order.
Can anybodu suggest solution.

Hi,
I think You are mistaken by terms itself.
well, whn u refer to CHANGEBILITY Indicator , it is only concerned to RELEASE STRATEGY ( applicable to that PO ) which may or may NOT change automatically based on characteristic value changes in PO.
But this changebility indicator doesn't refer to PO Change control.
Pl don't get confused regarding control excercised by this changebility indicator.

Is there a table in SAP that provides the date the PO was approved for Final Release? I know that through ME23N you can get this information in the Environment and Header Changes area, but we would like to add this information to a report and are having trouble locating where SAP is storing the data.

Field selection for Account Assignment Tab in PR

I set up my own field selection key where only storage location can be changed after release.
But when I do the test, I found that not only the storage location field but also all the fields in Account Assignment Tab can be changed!!! (Like cost center, profit center and GL account etc)
So, please help me to control the fields in Account Assignment Tab. I can't find related setting.
Thanks a lot.

You guys misunderstood.
Here's my business flow:
I enter PR with account assignment K, input cost center and then save.
After PR is released, there's only storage location can be changed.
So I set up my own field seletion key in which I set storage location as optional, and other fields as display.
But when I use ME52N to check my released PR, not only storage location but also all the fields in Account Assignment Tab can be changed!
I can't find the corresbonding setting for cost center or GL account in "Define Screen Layout at Document Level".
I can't use OME9 either, because once I set cost center as display, I have no change to enter even if I use ME51N.
Sorry I didn't make myself clear enough. Hope you understand now and please help me to solve it. Thanks a lot.

Field selection for Material Type

Hi,
When we create the material type we are assigning a field ref. in Define Material attributes screen, and when we are creating the industry sector there also we are assigning a field screen reference.
No when we creat a materail with MM01, and if Field ref. is different in Industry sector and material type then which system will follow when we create the material it will be ref. to field selection in Material type or industry sector.
regards,,
zafar

Zafar,
When you talkout Material type is basically controls the properties of a Material like important control fucntions and attributes.
That is inturn, like Field selection, Special material type, Type of Procurement, Stock (Qty &Value) updation, User departments and Price control. But,
where as Field selection is control key which consits of some setoff fields which are subjected to a perticular Industry sector like, Plant &Construction, Mechanical Industry, Pharmacuetical Industry, Chemical Industry, etc. In this case field selection is different from Industry to Industry, but in some cases field selection is common for the similar kind of Industries or Industry sectors.
And the Field selection is subjected to the Material type as well, that means each material type can have their own Field selection (it is named with a field selection key 3 char sap code for field selection).
Comming to the Creation of Material master record : using MM01 ( create material -general)
here, you need to select the material type and industry sector --> then you need to choose the relevent user departments and subsequently plant, sloc.etc.
Note: when you are creating the material in the above fasion, you need to enter the relevent data which is w.r.to the user departments which you have choosen, and those inturn reflect from this control data ( attributes and important control functions as I said is the definition of Material type).
And this is how a material is created, wether it can be a Raw material, Semi finished Product or Finished Product, etc.
Note: There is an option to create your own Material Types, but SAP suggests to use standard Material type when you create material master record, unless otherwise a special requirement comes from your client is from Specific Industry sector or if running a special kind of business which is not yet dragged into the SAP R/3 system.
Hope this will clarifies your query.
With Regards,
Srin

Field selection for PO

I created a field selection key and made Net Price field as DISPLAY for PO. I assigned this key to NB.
My client wants that the filed shall be in DISPLAY mode ONLY in case of CREATE PO. For CHANGE PO it should not be greyed.
How can I do this?
Regards
VS

Hi,
All of what you want to do can be done, but the combination that you want is making it tricky.
It is easy enough to stop the pricing conditionsfrom being entered at PO creation. Use the EFB parameter (SPRO - Purchasing > authorisation management ) this has a setting for "enter pricing conditions". You could add the relevant EFB parameter to the user but this would stop them from entering pricing conditions in ME22N as well.
If you want to control it by user, the EFB parameter is fine, but you seem to indicate that you want different settings for ME21N and ME22n? This can be done by using the feield selection keys, but this is NOT user specific..
So to sum up, if you want to control the entry of prices by transaction, this is possible with field selection keys.
If you want to control this by USER, this is possible by use of the EFB parameter.
But a combination of both is not really easy, are you sure that you cannot achieve your aim with the two options above?
