PO HEADER TEXT - USER EXIT

[Former Member]

Greetings All,

I need to validate PO Doc header text ( i know it is free form text but it has become need of the hour). Is there a user exit I could use to validate PO header text?

I was looking at EXIT_SAPMM06E_12 and EXIT_SAPMM06E_13 but not sure if I could use it. Please advise....thanks a ton in advance.

Thanks much Chandralekha, I will explore the user-exits 12/13. Could you please tell me more detailed as to ...What do I need to populate in IHREZ? I want to read header text for the PO (say Text F01) and then validate the contents of it. If the contents of header text is invalid I want to show an error msg.

thanks again.

Hi,

You can this BADI

- The Business Add-In (BAdI) ME_REQ_HEADER_TEXT enables you to specify whether the header text of the reference document is to be copied as well when purchase requisitions are copied.

- The COPY_HEADER_TEXT method enables you to specify whether the header text is to be copied as well when a purchase requisition is copied.

get the fieldname of the header text and use it in the above BADI.

Reward if helpful.

Regards,

Chandralekha.

thank you Chandralekha. Unfortunately BADI or even the user exit does not help...it is called much later in the PO transactions. By then the Text is already written.

Thanks much though.
