Hi everyone.

 RSS Feed I saw a lot of questions about how to disable a standard field in ME22N and
ME21N. So I decided to share my solution for this problem.
First of all, SAP don’t offer an standard way for reach this solution. And in my
case i wanted to include some specific code to decide disable or not that field.
Lets solve the problem!
In the end of function MEPOBADI_FS_ITEM include the implicit enhancement.
ENHANCEMENT 1 ZENH_LOCK_PO_STANDARD_FIELD. "active version
data fields type table of zmmt001 with header line.
data field_selection type MMPUR_FS.

data parameters TYPE abap_parmbind_tab.
data param_line TYPE abap_parmbind.
data lock_po type ref to zcl_lock_po_field.
select *
from zmmt001
into table fields.
check not fields[] is initial.
create object lock_po

exporting
im_header = im_header
im_item = im_item.
loop at fields.
READ TABLE ch_fieldselection into field_selection with KEY meta

check sy-subrc is INITIAL.
call method lock_po->(fields-method)
CHANGING
field_selection = field_selection.
MODIFY TABLE ch_fieldselection from field_selection.
endloop.
ENDENHANCEMENT.
As you can see, there is a table called ZMMT001, which will store the field number
and the method that we wanna use to process.
The class ZCL_LOCK_PO_FIELD looks like this
class ZCL_LOCK_PO_FIELD definition
public
final
create public .
public section.
methods CONSTRUCTOR
importing
!IM_HEADER type ref to IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_MM
!IM_ITEM type ref to IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_ITEM_MM .
methods NET_PRICE
changing
!FIELD_SELECTION type MMPUR_FS .
PROTECTED SECTION.
PRIVATE SECTION.
CONSTANTS:
BEGIN OF field_state,
enabled TYPE c VALUE '+',
disabled TYPE c VALUE '*',
invisible TYPE c VALUE '-',
END OF field_state.
DATA po_header TYPE mepoheader .
DATA po_item TYPE mepoitem .
ENDCLASS.
CLASS ZCL_LOCK_PO_FIELD IMPLEMENTATION.
* <SIGNATURE>-----------------------------------------------------
* | Instance Public Method ZCL_LOCK_PO_FIELD->CONSTRUCTOR
* +---------------------------------------------------------------
* | [--->] IM_HEADER TYPE REF TO IF_PURCHASE_O
* | [--->] IM_ITEM TYPE REF TO IF_PURCHASE_O
* +---------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD constructor.
po_header = im_header->get_data( ). "//get header data
po_item = im_item->get_data( ). "//get item
ENDMETHOD.
* <SIGNATURE>-----------------------------------------------------
* | Instance Public Method ZCL_LOCK_PO_FIELD->NET_PRICE
* +---------------------------------------------------------------
* | [<-->] FIELD_SELECTION TYPE MMPUR_FS
* +---------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD net_price.
"//Make your tratatives here
* ....
"//Disable field
field_selection-fieldstatus = field_state-disabled.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
Thats it! if you have some thing to say, please, say.
Thanks,
Enio.

Hi Quynh.
Yes, the function MEPOBADI_FS_ITEM is called for every item, as you can see in the print below
About header, the function that you can use is MEPOBADI_FS_HEADER. As i could see, it works
exactly like item. So you can use the same implementation.
Thanks for the question,
Enio.

Hi,
Would a transaction variant with screen variants allow you to do something similar without code? We lock
down many fields in ME29N using a screen variants as part of a transaction variant set by transaction
SHD0.
Regards,
Michael

Hi,
Thanks for the article.
Can we use the functionality to lock fields at position level within the tabs? (i.e. Quantities/Weights tab)
ME22N
Is there a way to find the right field?
Thanks in advance

MODIFY ch_fieldselection FROM w_fieldselection.
