MIRO - Limit Item Category....amount is greyed and no entry allowed

Question

Hello,
Is there a way to make the Amount field (DRSEG-WRBTR) not greyed at the line item level in the MIRO Transaction for Blanket POs (invoicing against PO, no GR generated)?
In order to enter a value into this field, I need to click the Account Assignment button and enter the information in there.  It will then populate the greyed amount field at the line item and an amount can be entered in the invoice and posted.  This is not ideal and we would like the option to just enter the amount on the PO Line item directly to cut down on time/steps.
Thanks.

Hi Rob Egli
The basic purpose of Blanket PO is to procure low value items against Account assignment only. We set the limit in PO and there will ne no GR/or acceptance for this kind of PO(FO) and is not a regular PO activity. You can say it is a Quick Clearing process where_in we need not go thorugh the normal PO>MIGO>IV Process. Each line item can have separate G/L asignment  for posting. Mostly we do this for text item procurement and it serves the prupose very well
Line item entries are basically designed for Normal POs which are either Costcenter procurement w/o limit or Normlprocurement which may or may not be based upon GR. Here we can do all kinds of Variation with PO quanitity. But in Blanket we can not do such activity as the control lies only with the total limit amount not the quanity of PO , this is the basic reason why line item entry is not there. Once the Limit gets exhausted there will be no more invoicing.
