Carrier Details on Field status group for vendor master

Hi,
I have a requirement to make the SCAC and Carrier freight group as required fields on vendor master .
but the standard SAP system requires/ allows three fields : SCAC , carrier freight group and Service agent procedure group as mandatory to be activated under the 'carrier details ' column in the field status group (transaction OB23 and OBD3).
I want to know if there is a way to flag just the SCAC and carrier freight group as required fields for entry in vendor master .
Thanks
Naga Yarramsetty

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply. With user exit and validation, I cannot create mandatory mark in FS00. Actually SAP make this description always mandatory. But there is no mandatory mark in this column. I just want to create mandatory mark in this column. Need you advice.
Thanks,
John

Field Status Group for Special G/L Indicators

Could you define different field status group for special G/L indicators? My problem is I am using two different special G/L indicators but their recon accounts are assigned with the same field status group. I used the same posting keys as well. But when it comes to general posting, they have different screen numbers. One SAPMF05A 303 and the other one is SAPMF05A 304. How did this happen?

Hi Noel,
As you have defined Field Status Group for 2 different SPL GL Indicators then it will create 2 different screens only as it wont consider the reconciliation account.

Maintain Field status grups for vendors

In IMG - Vendor master - define account groups with screen layout -,
I'm trying to change one of the fields in General data - control tab. there are two pages for this to viewl all fields associated with the control. I could only view the first page, if I clikc the yellow arrow on left menu, it's taking to the next group. How can go to the second page (which is within the same control group). I could view all fields in table view, however, I can not change the status in the table view. The field (ext.manufacturer) I wanted change is in the second page. Please advise.

Order of Precedence in Field Selection settings for Vendor Master

Hi,
There are three transactions which help define the list of mandatory, optional, suppressed and finally display only fields during vendor maintenance.
These are,
OMSG -> Define Account Groups and Field Selection( Vendor)
OMFK -> Define Screen Layout Specific to Purchasing Organizations
OMSX -> Define Transaction-Dependent Screen Layout.
All these settings are independently maintained.
In case of conflicting settings, say for example, Field Name 1 is made mandatory with tcode OMSG, but suppressed with tcode OMFK, how does the Vendor transaction(XK01, FK01, MK01) behave.
How are these conflicts resolved ?. Is there any order of precedence.
Regards,
Jeron

Hi,
If both purchasing organizations have separate account group then you can very well achieve in customizing otherwise you need to control it in exit SAPMF02K

Field status control for GL master account - Functional area

We have activated cost of sales accounting. Thus, the functional area field now appears on the GL account Chart of Acct screen. Is there a way to 'hide' it or keep it as 'display only'?
Let me know.
Thanks.

Hey Vishal,
I have been trying to find a solution to your problem.
Since we dont have Cost of Sales accounting module. I am just comprehending that your solution might be in Tcode OB26. See if you can see change functional area field to display or supress it.
Let me know.
Thanks
Raj

Re: change account group for vendor

hi expert,
i done the same which you mention in earlier form. i manage to change the account group for vendor master.
now there is an another thing came out that is for normal vendor i able to change the account group but there is another vendor which is one time vendor means for vendor i am going to from normal vendor account group to one time account selected account group so in this case when i am changing the group in xk07 the system is saying a following message.
new account group xxx is one-time group: change not permitted.
message no.F2692
so if anybody face the same problem give me your inputs.
thanks in advance,
kk.

Hi KK,
For normal vendors, you cannot change the account group to 'One time vendor' group. The one time vendor group will have most of its felds suppressed in the master data. You have to enter the Name, address etc. only at the time of invoice posting.
But your normal vendor will have the name and address details in the master data itself. So, there will be inconsistency in the field status of the normal vendor account and the one time vendor account.
Hence, the system may not allow you to change the vendor group.
Regards,
Mike

Field status varient & field status group

Dear Sap Gurus,
Someone can clarify the following words please.I will be grateful for help.Thank you.
1.Field status varient
2.Field status group
3.Field status
Sincerely,
priya desai

Hi Priya,
Field Status:
Field status controls which fields are required for document entry.like fields are optional,required or supress.
Field status group
Determines the screen layout for document entry.
Fields can have the following statuses:
Optional entry - you can enter data in the field
Mandatory entry - you must enter data in the field
Suppressed - the field does not appear on the screen
Use
Enter the field status group in the master record of a G/L account. When you enter a document, the definitions stored for the group are effective.
Dependencies
The field status when you create a document also depends on the posting key.
The field status groups available are those grouped together in a field status variant and assigned to your company code.
Field Status Variants
In this activity you can define and edit field status variants and groups. You group several field status groups together in one field status variant. You assign the field status variants to a company code in the activity Assign Company Code to Field Status Variants. This allows you to work with the same field status groups in any number of company codes.
You can also define and process field status groups. You must define a field status group in the company code-specific area of each G/L account. The field status group determines which fields are ready for input, which are required entry fields, and which are hidden during document entry. Bear in mind that additional account assignments (i.e. cost centers or orders) are only possible if data can be entered in the corresponding fields.
Thanks,
Rau

Report for vendor master changes

Good day,
Please can you assist with this issue,
Report S_ALR_87012089,program RFKABL00
Version ECC 6.0
This report does not reflect the old and the new values for changed bank details.
It does not show anything under the old value and shows **deleted** and **created** for new values.
Thanks in advance

You will have to do configuration in T Codes OBAT and OBAU to achieve what you want in the report.
Check the IMG activity documentation for the following.
SPRO -> IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Changing Vendor Master Records -> Define Field Groups for Vendor Master Records.

Solved - Group Fields for Vendor Master Records in IMG

This was the solution.
The new field's data element I added to LFB1 did not have the "change document" field checked. I made that change and now that field shows up in IMG.
Hello all,
I added an append structure to the table LFB1. This structure has 1 field. I then created a "Modification-Free Enhancement of Vendor Master Record" to add the new LFB1 field to the vendor master screen, edit and display screens. This is the 3rd time I have done this. So far so good.
Now our functional analyst went into IMG to add this new LFB1 field to a "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records" which we have done 2 other times.
The new LFB1 field does not show up in the list of possible Table-fields.
There must be some other step I am missing.
Does any of this ring a bell? We are on version 4.7.
Thanks
Bruce
p.s.
This is the IMG path for adding 'Field Groups' to vendor master fields.

Hi Vandana,
There are several tables that are contain Vendor Master related data which can be used for extraction to BW. Some of the tables which can be useful for you are:
LFA1 : Vendor Master (General Section)
LFM1 : Vendor master record purchasing organization data
LFBW : Vendor master record (withholding tax types) X
WYT3 : Partner Functions
LFBK : Vendor Master (Bank Details)
LFB1: Vendor Master (Company Code)
ADRC: Addresses (Business Address Services)
ADR3: Fax Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADR6: SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADRT: Communication Data Text (Business Address Services)
You may use the Data sources mentioned in the previous update from Venky above namely :
0VENDOR_ATTR --- for master data attributes
0VENDOR_TEXTS -- For texts
Since the fields that you are using are from different tables so its better if you go for a Generic Data source where you can use the fields as per your requirement.
Thanks

FI Field Status Group

Hi,
I am working on a BDC Program for posting of FI documents. The documents would have one Vendor Line and Multiple G/L line.
Now now for different G/L lines there can be different G/L accounts and hence there can be different Field Status Group.
My requirement is that if some how I can read the field status group such that before going for BDC I know which all fields I need to pass or suppress in my program.
Is there any Function Module which can give me field wise details like which field is suppressed/required or optional??
I tried reading T004F but this is very difficult to read this table.
Can some one help me in this regard. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Please note that I need to work with BDC only. I can not use any other method to post the document because of the business need.
Regards,
Lalit

I can think of one use case where the screen processing provides an advantage: "real time" error correction by the user.
We have a little program that takes a spreadsheet with fixed column structure and creates one FI document from it. The technique is call transaction mode "E", so business users can correct their wrong G/L accounts or cost centers on the fly, hit enter and proceed. If the data is totally hosed (e.g. balance not zero), they can cancel the whole process, rework their spreadsheet and try again.
BAPI doesn't offer that

Make IBAN field necessary for vendor master

Hi SAP gurus,
is there any way to make IBAN field in bank details necessary for vendor master?
I have tryed with SAPMF02K - EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 but there isn' t a iban filed.
thx in advances
V.
Moderator: Double-post

Dear all,
no unfortunately you can not set up this in field status.
It is possible as a workaround to use 'Bank Details' as mandatory in
OBD3.
This is possibly because IBAN can not be entered alone without the
traditional Bank Details. However, once you have entered the
traditional bank information, it is not possible to set the IBAN as a
mandatory field.
If I were you I'd have a look at user exit and SAPMF02K to
check the vendor master data.
You have also BTEs:
00001440 VENDOR MASTER DATA: Final checks
I hope it helps You.

Filed status group for Vendorn

Dear All
Iam posting an entry through transaction code F-42 by useing the posting Key 37 vendor debit and posting key 27 vendor credit. I want Profit center field in optional which was not their. This is the reason entry is not been posting because i made profit center mandatroy. Now due to not giving the profit center entry is not been posted.
I check field status group in OBC4, FBKP for posting key. But it is not working.
Please give me the solution to solve this problem.
Regards

HI
As mentioned by Gerard u would find the field for profit centre
Please check the priorities that you have set.
The priority would always be taken as SDRO
Eg: in obc4 you have mentioned the profit centre suppress and at posting key level you have given as optional u2026.finally the field would be suppress as per the priority rule.
Suppress and required would lead to error.

List of Field information in Field status group

Hello guys,
I'm trying to build a list for several fields when creating a document to see what status (obligatory, disabled, etc.) the field got in several field status groups.
So the result should look like:
Field Status Variant
Field Status Group
Field
Status
0000
PH01
ZUONR
Obligatory
0000
PH02
ZUONR
Disabled
0001
PH01
ZUONR
Obligatory
0001
PH03
ZUONR
Optional
So I was doing some research here how to get this and I think I almost made it but some final information are not that clear at the moment.
(1) I read table T004F for getting the pattern of field status group with help of field status variant of company code (T001) and field status group of account (SKB1).
(2) Then I'm doing convert routine for '+.*' pattern and then know which field position got which status.
(3) Then I'm trying to match the status with the fields with help of tables TMODF, TMODG, TMODO, TMODP and TMODU, but I am not quite sure how to make it.
E.g. with help of tables TMODO and TMODP I can find the information which field is which position but it is only about the description of the field, not the technical fieldname. So I also got table TMODU with the technical fieldnames, but there I got several information for one field depending on account type (vendor, account, customer, ...). So which is the right one? Always 'account' even if it is reconciliation account for vendor? And which is the right FAUNA field information? Always 'SKB1-FAUS1' or where do I know which one to take?
The other way I tried is with function FI_GET_FIELD_SELECTION_STRING to get the pattern. This one depends on posting key to get the pattern. So where is the difference between this one and the manual select in table T004F without posting key?
Thanks a lot for your help! :-)
Regards
Michael

Gerd,
Have you tried txn SE41?
I had to do something similar with tab descriptions for Leads and used SE41.
I needed to know the program name or search for it. In my case it was SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_UI then select the radio button 'Function List'.
Then when in the list you can change the headings.
Activate it then the new descriptions are available.
Regards
David
