Hi,

Check whether table maintenance ggenerator is created for this table.

If yes, then go to sm30 in change mode and change the field value.

Well , how to check whether the table maintenance generator is created or not. The table i am referring is VBAP.

[Former Member]

There is no table Maintenance on VBAP.

let me know the field whose value needs to be changed.

Please ellaborate your problem - It seems that you might require to change any default field value appearing on VA01or VA02.

Eg. default plant

When you check that field it is referring to VBAP. but these are customizing settings and not coming for VBAP

Ask your functional consultant for the same.

Richa,

I need to change the value of MATNR field.

The requirement is, whenever we go to VBAP table and click to see the contents, the selection screen which comes, should be populated with a default value for MATNR.

Hi,

We can change the field value of data element domain of standard table by asking for a access key to a BASIS guy.

But its always better not to change a standard data element domain.

hope this helps you.
