This SAP Note contains a list of frequently asked questions about "Mass
maintenance in purchasing".

Questions:

1. Why can certain fields not be changed using transaction MEMASSPO, or which
fields can be changed?
2. When you want to change any field of a scheduling agreement using
transaction MEMASSSA, the system issues error message MEOUT019:
"Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported".
Why?
3. Why can info record fields be deleted using transaction MEMASSIN even
though they are defined as required entry fields?
4. Is it possible to set the deletion indicator in transaction MEMASSRQ as a
field that can be changed?

----------------------

1. Question: Why can certain fields not be changed using transaction MEMASSPO, or
which fields can be changed?

Solution: The function module ME_LIMIT_FIELDS_PO_BAPI basically contains all

nonchangeable fields for the mass change of the purchase order. In addition, the
following item fields cannot be changed with existing items:

Material number (EKPO-EMATN)

Material short text (EKPO-TXZ01)
Order quantity (EKPO-MENGE)
Order unit (EKPO-MEINS)
Net order price (EKPO-NETPR)
Purchase order price unit (EKPO-BPRME)
Plant (EKPO-WERKS)

As of SAP R/3 Release 4.6C, you can run the mass maintenance using the
PurchaseOrder.Change method (BAPI_PO_CHANGE). To do this, read SAP Note 545754.

------------------------------

2. Question: When you want to change any field of a scheduling agreement using
transaction MEMASSSA, the system issues error message MEOUT019: "Scheduling
agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported". Why?

Answer: Read FAQ note 1046794, question 1.

3. Question: Why can info record fields be deleted using transaction MEMASSIN even
though they are defined as required entry fields?

Answer: The mass maintenance of info records does not take the field selection
into account. It is possible to change fields that cannot be changed in dialog
mode.

------------------------------

4. Question: Is it possible to set the deletion indicator in transaction MEMASSRQ

as a field that can be changed?

Answer: In transaction MASSOBJ, you can assign the deletion indicator as an

additional field to the object type BUS2105. Call transaction MASSOBJ and select
the object type BUS2105. Now add the field list of the object type BUS2105 by
inserting an additional entry with the field name LOEKZ in the table.
As of Release ECC 6.0 EHP 4 (i.e. SAP_APPL 604), this function is provided.
