Present pop-up to user on save of purchase requisition

[Hilsbos, Margaret A]

Hi Anke,

Thanks for the suggestion...I forwarded this one on. I just have to find out if we can require that field to be a userid for our entire business, or if we can write the validation in such a way that it only applies, for example, to certain plants. 

I was really hoping for a clean way to allow user intervention on save. It's not looking hopeful though.

Hi Margaret,

You can also put a field exit on the Requester field to make sure it 
contains a valid user id. (Or use user exit at point of saving). Field exits 
are not a SAP-promoted approach, at the same time, Field exits are supported 
in latest releases (program RSMODPRF).

Also have a look at user exit M06B0001-ZXM06U12.

Kind Regards,
