Defaulting a value for a column in PReq (ME51N) while entering a vendor

Hi,

How to default a column value say L (Subcontracting) while a specific vendor code in entered in ME51N?

Thanks,

The item category has nothing to do with the vendor master.

First comes the requirement(need material that has to be manufactured by a subcontractor), then the requisition is created according to this requirement (with item category L) , and finally a vendor is selected.

Even if you enter a desired vendor in the PR, the process will not turn and the fact that the vendor is not influencing the item category will not change.

Thanks for your reply Jürgen L.

Is there any customization that can be performed to select "L" for the column while a specific vendor (e.g. 100777) is entered in ME51N?
