Hide a standard field

Question

Hello all,
I need to know: is there a way to hide a field in SRM web portal? For example, I know, in SAP ECC there is 'Field Status'; in SAP SRM.
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Hi,
As I told you the BADI "BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI" can be used only in some trasnsactions to hide the std fields/links etc.
Pls read the documentation of the BADi:
Field Control in Purchasing Document
Use
Using the Business Add-In BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI, you can change the visibility and the ready-to-input status of interface objects (for example, fields and pushbuttons) in a document.
You can use the BAdI to override the following documents and applications:
Purchase contract and global outline agreement
(Filter value BUS2000113)
Bid invitation (Filter value BUS2200)
Bid (Filterwert BUS2202)
Auction (Filter value BUS2208)
Purchase order (Filter value BUS2201)
Purchaser's Sourcing application
Confirmation (Filter value BUS2203)
Invoice (Filter value BUS2205)
Vendor list
Note
Changing the ready-to-input status of fields as designated in the standard can lead to errors. You should, therefore, avoid switching the status of a field that is not ready-to-input in the standard to ready-to-input. Do not, for example, set the object ID of an already existing contract to changeable.
Standard settings
Using the following methods of the BAdI, you can control the visibility and ready-to-input status of header and item fields, pushbuttons, and navigation links of the concerned applications and also interface objects of cross-application screens, for example, the partner overview, account assignment, status overview or approval:
BBP_CTR_UI_CTRL
for field control in the contract and in the global outline agreement
BBP_BID_UI_CTRL
for field control in the bid invitation
BBP_QUOT_UI_CTRL
for field control in the bid
BBP_AUC_UI_CTRL
for field control in the auction
BBP_PO_UI_CTRL
for field control in purchase orders, including the screens for purchase order response and price data in the item details.
BBP_AVL_UI_CTRL
for field control in the vendor list.
Using the following methods, you can override the visibility and ready-to-input status of header and item fields, pushbuttons, and navigation links of the relevant application, however not that of interface objects of cross-application screens:
BBP_SOCO_UI_CTRL
for field control in the purchaser's Sourcing application
BBP_CONF_UI_CTRL
for field control in the confirmation
BBP_INV_UI_CTRL
for field control in the invoice
Using the following method, you can set up the mass change transaction in such a way that the previous step need not be completed before the user switches to the next screen.
BBP_CTR_MASS_UI_CTRL
for control of the mass change transaction.
Other then the transactions mentioned above,you need to modify the Std ITS templates(in tcode SE80) to hide the required  fields/buttons.For this you first need to find the corresponding ITS service  and HTML template for the screen in which you want to remove the button/links from.
E.g.,This is the sample code for Bid invitation screen fields:
*To make the TYPE OF PUBLICATION field under BASIC DATA tab in BI screen as display only
IF iv_fieldname = 'BBPS_BID_UI_HEADER-BID_TYPE'.
cv_input_ready = c_space.
ENDIF.
HTH.
Similarly,You can debug at runtime and see the structures and names for the fields/buttons as per the CATALOGUE  screen.
BR,
Disha.
