Hi,
On a PO, I made a purchase group mandatory and applied that base profile to another user. However, when I logged from that particular user’s account, I can see the mandatory field but still it allows that user to untick and proceed. How can I make this field non-editable or hide/gray-out?

Hi
I believe you need to adjust your permission sets to remove access to the Mandatory tab. When in the permission set you’ll want to go to the Presentation Objects By Component tab. Then navigate into the IFS Base Functionality and look for the Object Properties section as below. If you uncheck the Object Properties - Mandatory it should prevent access to the Mandatory tab. You’ll have to know what permission sets you’ve give individuals access too because if they have been granted the FND_CUSTOMIZE permission set they’ll be granted access to the Mandatory tab.

If you want to make this field mandatory for multiple users, and non-editable, I would suggest that you identify the Presentation Object for the field and simply remove the ability to modify it. This would allow it to still be visible not not changeable.
Typically this would be done by removing the Database Object named something like “Modify__” that is attached to the Pres Obj in question. PURCHASE_PART_GROUP_API.Modify__ appears to be the one you might want in this case but be sure to confirm in your environment.

Hello 
. I just wanted to make the mandatory field ‘Purchase Group’ invisible or non-editable for users on PO-->No Part Order Line Tab. Right now they still can click RMB-->Properties and uncheck the mandatory field ‘Purchase Group’ and proceed. Appreciate if you can show me how to do, a screenshot would be ideal.
Many Thanks

Hi
@nimesh
Not sure whether it’s possible to keep the tab available but make it non editable for end user. An expert will comment on that.
However you can approach this by using an custom event since you want pass a value to PO and further control it using “Fnd_Session_API.Get_Fnd_User”
This way you can have separate authorization/control on custom event level and allow it only for required users.
Further in PO, purchase group fetch from purchase part part basic data. if you update it, user will not be able to change it and record will pass to PO automatically

Hi
I do not how to grey out the one field just hide the mandatory tab. I've never seen just one field greyed out. You could possibly make the tab read only so it could be seen just not editable.

I’m still not sure why you would want to make the whole mandatory tab read-only (which I assume would apply across all screens) instead of simply making the field read-only that you want to prevent users from updating. Unless of course what you were really wanting to do wasn’t the original question.
If the field is read-only (e.g. no update, delete or new methods are granted) then it doesn’t matter if it is mandatory or not… the user won’t be able to save changes if they try to remove or adjust the value in the field and you wouldn’t be restricting the users from adjusting mandatory settings in other screens.
I’m glad you’ve got a solution that works, but based on the original question about a single field it seems like a big hammer to break a small nut.
