Fix a greyed-out Payee Name field in Subcontract Maintenance

How to resolve the Payee Name field being uneditable in Subcontract Ledger – Subcontractor Maintenance by updating the CENTNAME parameter.

Written by Sunil

If the Payee Name field in Subcontractor Maintenance is greyed out and cannot be edited, this is caused by the CI parameter CENTNAME being set to Y, which enables centralised name management. Setting the parameter to N restores the ability to edit the field.

⚠️ Important: Changing the CENTNAME parameter affects centralised name management across the system.

Confirm with your system administrator before making this change.

Update the CENTNAME parameter

  1. Go to Procurement > Setup > Configuration > CI Parameters.

  2. Locate the CENTNAME parameter.

  3. Set the value to N.

  4. Save your changes.

  5. Return to Subcontract Ledger > Subcontractors > Subcontractor Maintenance then go to Subcontractors and select Subcontractor Maintenance.

  6. Confirm the Payee Name field is now editable.
