SAP Note 21785 - MR01 Cursor position vs. selection flag

Symptom:

When you enter an invoice (MR01, MRHR), you want to branch from the overview screen with the purchase order items (SAPMM08R, screen 150) to the detail screen with one invoice item, and you click on the selection checkbox to do this. The cursor is positioned on a different line, however. When you press "Select", the system branches to the detail screen of the line of the cursor position.

Cause and prerequisites

Not an error. The cursor position determines which detail screen is displayed. This is necessary because you can branch to several detail screens of an item, depending on where the cursor is. The selection boxes are only used for copying items into the invoice. The only inconvenience is when you want to view the detail screen of an item, but not copy it. You then have to place the cursor on the selection box (thus activating it) and press "Choose". After you go "Back", you will have to reset the flag if you do not want to copy the item.

Solution
None (see above).
