Hi,

Is this the first time this has happend?

Have you used many serveice entry sheets before and they all did not do this, or is this a slighlty different SES (Perhaps the otehrs just had limits and no service masters?)

You said that "The user can enter the service." so what is the problem, isi it just that you wanted to know why this has happened?

It could be that this is the first time that a service maastr has been used on an SES in your company (I don't know if this is likely or not). When a service master is referenced the system gets the basic data from that. When no service master is referenced and the service is keyed in manually all of the basic data has to be keyed by the user.

Sorry if I have completely misunderstood the problem.

Dear Stephen,

First off, thanks A LOT for answering.

I didnt explain very well my issue before, let me give you some more info; The user called me and told me that when he enter a purchase order X then SAP doesnt show him the coulmns I mentioned in my first post, then I tried with my user, with the same purchase order, in the same enviroment and It shows me the columns. I told the user to try with other purchase orders and he cant see the columns in any of them.

May be it is due to a variant???

Im newbe in SAP, sorry if im asking so much.

Thanks again

Hi,

No need to apologise, that is why we are here, you are certainly NOT asking for too much. You are being very helpfula and providing more detail as we need it.

We enjoy helping people to get the most out of SAP and so your question is a good one.

One thing that you can do in an SAP purchase order is to move the columns around. So firstly get the user to check to see if the required columns are there but perhaps they ahve to scroll to the right to see them.

Each user can save there own format for these columns and so this user may have saved different settings to yours.

So let me know if they have found the columns futher to the rioght of the screen and we can help you to get them to the left so that they are visible straight away (basically you click once on the column header and then click and hold the button down, you can then drag the columns left and right and let go when they are where you want them. The the user clicks on the icon in the right hand corner of the item "window" (it looks a bit like a spreadsheet) and then saves this as their default.

I would suggest that you play with this a bit first, it does take practice to get it right.

(also try clicking on the dividing line between the Qty and the next field in case the user has reduced the column width to zero (in the same way that you would do this in excel)

If this is not the problem then let us know and we can try other options.

It could be that the user has an EFB parameter in their userid that is preventing the display of pricing info.

Thanks for your thanks by the way, they are a strong motivation.
