How to set the field Material with a default value?

[Rafa_Vazquez]

Hi SAP-Community,

i'm trying to do something that should be relativ simple but somehow doesn't work.

In a S/4HC release 1911. My User has all roles. 

I want to set a material as a standard value. This are the steps that i am doing:

- Go to Me area > Settings > Default values > Materials management. 

- There I select one particular material. 

- Click on save. 

- Go to manage purchase orders 

- There should appear the selected material, but it doesn't.

- It works with other fields, but not with the material.

Could someone please tell me what i'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

ps: a happy new year for you all. 😉

Hi Rafael,

Maybe try saving a view for this app with the material you want in the material field. You do this by clicking on the button with the drop down arrow in the top left corner of your screenshot that displays the current view name (right now it is "standard.") You can set your custom view as your default for this app.

Dear All,

I am very sorry for giving my feedback so late. I had even forgotten that I had asked this question.

Devins Solution worked for me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi Rafael,

Not sure, if you already found the solution based on the responses from my colleagues answered below. I would definitely echo Devin's response here and the solution should work just fine for you. Attached are some screenshots for your reference. Thanks again!

Hi Rafael

I was able to reproduce your exact scenario. I see the material defaulted in the app "Display Material" but not in the Material field on the "Manage Purchase Orders" app. I do however, see my default Purchasing Org in this app.

Can you open up a message with SAP Support?

Thanks,

Marty
