On a Sales Quote/Order both the Ship-To and Bill-to Address gets populated if there is a default address value on the BP.  I'm trying to set the both the Ship-To and Bill-to value to the empty/blank value of their drop down lists with no luck.

Any suggestion or help?

I've tried first to FOCUS() on the item ($[$40.0.0], but I'm now sure what the SET() command should be.  NULL give me an error.

  Hi Ernie,

  You can use Blank(); functionality here.

  Thanks,

  Thomas

  Yes, I tried that but since it a Combo Box the command will not work.  It always seem to go to the default address.

  Blanks the field indicated (Blank = a textfield receives an empty value).
  NB: You cannot blank a field if it is not allowed by the SAP Business Logic (Example: it is not possible to blank the quantity on a document line since it is not allowed to have no value). Also it is not possible to blank a combobox or checkbox since these are considered always to have a value (Use the SET command instead)

  Thank you Thomas.  The Blank() did work.

  Thanks Thomas and Ernie for the insight. I have similar issue; but the field with combo box is UDF with Valid Values enabled.

  I am unable to set the blank or empty the field using Boyum macro. I also tried setvalue and clearvalues. Both of them throw error.

  Is it a limitation that we can't set the field with Valid values enabled ? 

  Please advise

  Jones -> can you set any other valid value properly ? 

  Did you give the udf an alias / move to main screen so you can "SET" it properly ?

  Thanks Nadav for looking into this issue. I have resolved this by using Transfer.

  It UDF is defined with valid value property and used in combo, Boyum (set function) don't allow this to assign. but transfer works!
