Goods Reciept Mandatory in PO

Question

Dear All,
We want to make Good reciept field mandatory in PO. I have made the Good recieot field as default from account assignmnet category as below
IMG->MM->Purchasig->Account assignment ->Maintain account assignmnet category.
I have checked the box  Good receipt and  Invoice reciept for the account assignmnet category K.
and the  made the field as madatory  by going to the  screen layout of PO.
IMG->MM->purchasing->Purchase Order->Define screen layout at  Document level.
I have made the field GR/IR Indicator mandatory for NBF. but after that the GR-Non Valuated also becomes mandatory by default.
We do not want GR-Non valuated to be mandatory in  the PO .
Please let me know why GR-Non valuated  is becoming mandatory and how we can remove also any other way to make the field Goods receipt as mandatory in the  PO without making that as display.
Thanks
Iftekhar Alam.
P.S : Point would be awarded for sure for correct answer.

Hi Jurgen,
You are right  we can control it through account assignmnet category.  So in account assignmnet category for K if i maintain the check box "Goods Reciept " and " GR Ind. Firm"  then my  Goods reciept is defaulted in PO and becomes non modifiable ,
however we do not want that coz it will prevent my old PO in the system to going in change made as if the PO did not had the Good receipt field checked  earlier then there is no way we could check that field.
so  we are trying to make the field mandatory through the screen customization. this will enable user to check box goods reciept in Old PO if that did not have that checked.
but the moemnt i make the field as mandtory in screen i am not sure why the GR-Non valuated becomes mandatory. when creating a PO it ask me to make PO as GR Non Valuated.
Hope  all is clear with my requirement .
Cheers
