Hello,

We’re on APPS 10 UPD16. On Procurement > Order > Purchase Order screen, we have already the “Order No” field automatically filled in with a # when we save/adding new records. I would like to have this field non-editable by the end-users, so that we don’t end up with orders out of the autogenerated sequences we programmed in. 

Is there a way to “grey out” this field, but still let the autogenerated numbers to be saved in?

Thank you! 

paul.

Hi @DHCRADPA ,

You can try to setthe field as read only via the properties. Please be aware that you also need to set this to the profile of all the users (either al lteh personal profiles, of better via the base profile).

 

So, on the header of the Purchase order, click RMB ‘Properties’. Go to the tab Read Only and select the field you want to set as read only. 

Hope this will help you,

Did that .. funny with the user profiles though . (more than 1000 users).. We also used the page designer in Aurena and set “Editable” attribute to FALSE. then cleared the application caches, and instructed the users to clear their browser cache. hope it holds after an UPD deployment. If not, now I know how to do it again.

 

Thanks for the help! Appreciated.
