Condition on Field Validation

Hi Experts,
In infotype 0008, when i entered the wagetype as 2003 or 2004, i should enter the amount also for this.
for this if i enter more than $50. i should get the error message.And i would want that the record should goto an administrator for further review.
can i use the user-exit or BADI for this, to get the message?
Thanks in Advance,
Indhar

Hi,
Try user exits ZXPADU01 or 02.

Reg Missing Field Validation Message

Hello All,
I am trying to use field validation for making a field required when a specific value from a pick list is chosen, i am using this with a custom object.
i have written the Field Validation:
IIf(([<plStatus_of_Search_ITAG>] = 'Completed' AND [<stTechnology_ITAG>] IS NULL),N,[<stTechnology_ITAG>])
and typed some error message and saved the field, signed off and signed in
after that the validation is not getting triggered and when i checked the fiels validation textbox, i found the "Field Validation" condition and "Field Validation Error Message" missing. why is this happening?
as i have saved them.. what might be the problem.
regards,
Uday

Hi Arvindh,
The issue was solved after i cleared cookies and offline client, i was a browser issue.

Help with Conditional Display and Validation

Version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I'm having a difficult time with a conditional display and validation I'm hoping someone can help with.
Requirements:
When the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox)
If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL)
What I've tried
Create a Dynamic Action on the Start Date
Event: Change
Selection Type:Item(s)
Items(s): P51_START_DATE
Condition: none
True Action Section:
Action: Show
Fire on Page Load: Checked
Show all page items on the same line: No
Affected Items Section:
Selection Type:Item(s)
Item(s): P51_CHANGE_REASON,P51_CHANGE_DESC
I've also created a Dynamic Action with similar settings for the P51_END_DATE.
I created a Validation for the P51_CHANGE_REASON as Function Returning Error Text:
DECLARE
    v_start_date    work_items.start_date%TYPE;
    v_end_date      work_items.end_date%TYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT start_date
          ,end_date
    INTO   v_start_date
          ,v_end_date
    FROM   work_items
    WHERE work_items_id = :P51_WORK_ITEMS_ID;
    IF ( (v_start_date != TO_DATE(:P51_START_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') OR v_end_date != TO_DATE(:P51_END_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') ) AND
          :P51_CHANGE_REASON IS NULL ) THEN
        RETURN 'Change Reason must have a value';
    END IF;
END;
The Issue
I tried to create another Dynamic Action to hide the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC fields on page load, but when either of the date fields are changed and the validation is fired the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC are hidden again.
There are two buttons to submit the page: 'SAVE' will submit the page and stay on the page and 'SAVE_CHANGES' will submit the page and branch to the previous page (which is a report with EDIT buttons to edit the record).
I can't get the page load Dynamic Action to NOT fire when the validation is fired.
I hope this is clear and if not what information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

Phil,
Thank you for looking at this.
Yes if the Change Reason is NULL when the edit page is displayed then the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden. If the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox). If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL).
The problem I'm having is that if no Change Reason is entered and the page is saved thereby firing the validation the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden again (because of the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide them). So now the user can't put in a Change Reason...unless they change one of the date fields again which isn't going to be accepted.
Is there a way to determine if a validation error was fired and be able to use that on the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide the two fields? Something like...If the validation fired then don't run?
Please let me know if I'm still confusing you.
Thanks,
Joe

Field validation - make field required based on value of another field

Hi,
I tried to enter the field validation into both LeadSource and stSource_Detail field, however, when the LeadSource is not "Customer" or "Staff" and Source Detail is not empty, the validation message will prompt. Below is my field validation:
IIf(([<LeadSource>]=LookupValue("OCCAM_LEAD_SOURCE", "Customer") OR [<LeadSource>]=LookupValue("OCCAM_LEAD_SOURCE", "Staff")) AND [<stSource_Detail_Staff_ID__Customer_ID_ITAG>] IS NULL,N,[<stSource_Detail_Staff_ID__Customer_ID_ITAG>])

Field Validation statements must return only TRUE or FALSE. Rewrite your statement such that if your condition is valid, true is returned, and if not, false is returned.

Bypass Required Field Validation when needed in PDF Dynamic Form

I faced a tricky situation, where some fields are required, but we need to allow bypass required (mandatory) validation rule when saving the form, and require to fill such fields when submitting the form. In other words, provide flexible control when to turn On / Off this feature.
I wanted to implement a flexible solution, and I will post my findings here. Appreciate your feedback for improvements.
Steps:
1. Mark rquired fields as required.
2. Specify "Empty Message" as "This field cannot be left blank", or similar.
3. Specify "Validation Script Message" as "This field must have a proper value before submit", or similar.
4. Create a Global Form Level Variable something like "StopTotalValidation" and default as "1" means by default, Turn Off Validation for some cases.
5. For the fields which require this type of control, add the script (to be defined later) on the "validate" event:
myTools.validateForRequiredField(this);
6. Create a Script Object "myTools" and add the following script:
function initStringFunc() {
//call this function on Document Initialize
String.prototype.trim = function() {
    return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
String.prototype.ltrim = function() {
    return this.replace(/^\s+/,"");
String.prototype.rtrim = function() {
    return this.replace(/\s+$/,"");
String.prototype.isEmpty = function() {
    return (this == null) || this.trim() == "";
function setNodeProperty(theNode, theProperty, newValue) {
   if (theNode[theProperty] != newValue) {
        theNode[theProperty] = newValue;
function isNodePropertyEmpty(theNode, theProperty) {
    var result;
    if (theNode == null || theNode[theProperty] == null) {
        result = true;
    } else {
        result = theNode[theProperty].isEmpty();
    return result;
function disableTotalValidation() {
    StopTotalValidation.value = "1";
function enableTotalValidation() {
    StopTotalValidation.value = "0";
function isTotalValidationOn() {
    return StopTotalValidation.value != "1";
function isTotalValidationOff() {
    return StopTotalValidation.value == "1";
const conRequired = "(required)";
function validateForRequiredField(theFld) {
    // Bypass Required Field Validation when Global Validation is Off.
    var result=false;
    if (theFld) {
        if (theFld.mandatory && theFld.mandatory == "error") {
            if (myTools.isNodePropertyEmpty(theFld, "rawValue")) {
                myTools.setNodeProperty(theFld, "rawValue", conRequired);
            if (isTotalValidationOn()) {
                if (isNodePropertyEmpty(theFld, "rawValue") || theFld.rawValue.toLowerCase() == conRequired.toLowerCase()) {
                    result = false;
                } else {
                    result = true;
            } else {
                result = true;
    } else {
        result = false;
    return result;
7. Now, on the click of "Save" button call the function "disableTotalValidation()" and on the click of "Submit" button call the function "enableTotalValidation()".
I have just finished implementing the above solution, and as per my initial testing, it is working fine.
I will post this to my Google Docs workspace, and provide updates their.
Tarek.

Hi Tarek,
I see what you mean in relation to clarity if you used the form variable approach. It was only a suggestion. Like so many things in LC, there is more than one way to finding a solution to a problem.
The triple equal sign (===) is testing if the condition is equal, but to a higher standard. It is testing if the values are identical to each other. For example if you were testing if a textfield was empty, with Equality (==) you might have this:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "") {
     // Some script
If you use Identity (===) you can do the same thing with less script:
if (this.rawValue === null) {
     // Some script
It is also useful when testing the value of an object, but also the type (eg string, number, Boolean).
Lastly, it can be used for non-identity (!==).
In relation to createNode() etc, apart from John's blog, it is covered in the LC documents: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/livecycle/documentation.html. Look for the scripting guides and the guide to the XML Form Object Model.
Good luck,
Niall

Field Validation

I have custom picklist (department) which has value like 'Research','Sales','Production'
If the picklist value is Sales ,Owner field of SR can be null(owner field need not have value),I should be able to save record,
If picklist value is other than sales ,Owner field of SR should not be null(Owner field should have value),It should prompt msg saying select owner.
I wrote field validation on departmnet picklist
IFF((Fieldvalue('<picklistnmae>')<>'Open' AND [<Owner>] IS NULL),True,False)
but it show error msg for any status...
how to make owner field require based on picklist value chosen

Hi,
I think Owner cannot be null. If Owner is blank, Owner will be set as the person who create the record. Please chck it.
So the condition might be wrong.

Conditional Spry Confirm Validation

Hi Chaps,
I know there are a few of these threads about, however, the answers usually point to a 404 webpage.
I'm after a conditional Spry Confirm Validation Text Field.
E.G. if a user decides to change a password, the (required) confirm validation comes into effect.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would help me out.
Many thanks

How to conditionally encapsulate fields within ECC 6.0

I'm interested in strategies to conditionally encapsulate fields within ECC 6.0.
The requirement would be to mask specific fields (e.g. Vendor Name) within a particular data set (e.g. a particular Company Code) by default while allowing those fields to be visible by some users. The key is that we do not want to mask these fields globally, nor do we want them masked for every user. Even more important, we do not want to modify all the transactions and programs where these fields are available.
I know one option is to add custom code at the Domain level of the fields. We're currently investigating this further to see if it will satisfy all our needs and perform well.
I'm looking for any other options we should explore, including 3rd party options.
Thanks,
~Matt

I understand it is a "no worry' on the complaiance front, but i suppose there could be a valid reason for not allowing users to display something (the operator can shed light on that)
And from what i understand, the object doesnt get checked during the creation of master records too - its primarily to control the changes made on certain fields of the master record.
and it needs a certain amount of effort to understand & check the implications before starting with the filed group customizing

Trying to create a Field Validation Expression and need help

I have a picklist field and another field that are in question. I want to set some sort of rule that forces the second field to be populated only If specific values are selected from the picklist field.
I was going the route of a field validation Rule, but everything i've tried so far does not produce the results i am trying to achieve.
The first type of expression i tried was:
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] <> LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print") AND ([<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NULL))
This is generating the field validation error message when i select any of the correct values from the picklist. the problem is still the second field, which will generate the error if a value is entered into the second field, regardless of the picklist value selected. Switching the "IS NULL" to "IS NOT NULL" only reverses the problem on the second field, causing the error to generate when the second field is updated to a NULL or blank value.
I also tried :
= 'No Production Print' AND [<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL
and got similar results.
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] = LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print"))
Similar results as well.
Does this need to be an IIF statement? Do I need to make this a workflow expression instead? i could really use some help as I have tried everything i can think of and admit, i'm not the expression guru!!!. Any assistance would be appreciated.
TeknoMan

Yes we have the same request and we used the following expression. Example we have a field "Método de pago" ( [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG<]), it's values are "CHEQUE and DEPOSITO" if we select DEPOSITO three more fields were requiered Route, Sucursal de banco and Clabe so we have to put this validation in the four fields including Metodo de pago.
[<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL)
well in the field CLABE we put the following [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND Len([<stCLABE_ITAG>])=18) this was because the len of the value must be 18 characters.
I hope this works for you

How can I do field validation on the last two characters of a text field?

I have a text field. The user is required to enter the last two characters as numbers. I want to apply validation on this field. How can i achieve the same?
EX: If the user enter ABCDE, an error messgae stating the last two digit should be numeric.
I tried using the below in the field validation which did not work.
(0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) > 0 AND (0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) < 99.
Any ideas would help?

Try this-
FindOneOf(Right([<Field1>],"2"),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")=0

Mandatory field validation on Page links.

We have created a Portal application where we included different applications as taskflows. We have also created a tabbed interface which helps us to communicate from one task flow to another taskflow. When we are in one page of taskflow and try to move to another page of different taskflow using tabbed interface we receive mandatory field validation error which prevents us to move to any other page until we fill all the mandatory fields. We need to move to different page of taskflow by using the tabbed interface even without filling all the necessary mandatory fields. Can anyone help us to resolve this issue as this is very important for our project.

Field Validation on Read Only Field

I'm trying to create a pop up error box if a field contains null values. The problem is that the field I'm trying to do the validation on is a read-only field. It's the Account field on the Contact Object or Module. It won't allow me to include validation. The goal here is to have a POP UP ERROR box come up if someone does not select a value for that field. Making it required doesn't generate a popup box, it only has a small "required" text next to the field which can be easily missed by a user. Any ideas?

Hi !
I found the way to do what you wan't, but it sounds a bit strange for me...
You have to put a field validation on the Account Id field. I made some tests to know what is in the AccountId field when it's blank and i see that the value is "No Match Row Id" !!
So your validation rule must be simply
*<> "No Match Row Id"*
It worked for me, the error message appears... But I think this is something we have to report to Oracle...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Field Validation on Custom Obj. 4: Value of one field making other Req.

Hello All,
I have been working on a field validation problem for a while. I have a custom Picklist on CO4. This picklist has two values YES and NO (a checkbox does not meet requirements). What I need to do is If Picklist='YES' then FieldA, FieldB, and FieldC are Required else they are not required. FieldA = Text (short), FieldB = Date, and FieldC = Currency. I've tried numerous ways to validate on Fields A, B, and C with statements like IIf(Picklist=LookupValue(Picklist,"YES"),FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) or IIf(FieldValue(Picklist)="YES",FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) etc... these were just my latest attempts at this point I'm jsut trying random things to try to get it working. I am probably using incorrect syntax (even though it passes the sytax checker). If anyone has any suggestion let me know. Also if I haven't made clear what it is I'm attempting to do let me know and I'll try to clarify.
Thanks,
Z

Hi,
if I understand correctly, you want this functionality:
If Picklist = NO => it doesn't matter what values are contained in Field A, B and C.
If Picklist = YES => Field A is not null and Field B is not null and Field C is not null
To trigger the validation when the picklist value changes then you have to configure the Field Validation for the Picklist:
[<Picklist>]=LookupValue("Picklist","NO") OR ( Len([<Field_A>])>0 AND Len([<Field_B>])>0 AND Len([<Field_C>])>0 )
You have to put the validation also on Field_A and Field_B and Field_C, because in case of an update of , let's say, Field_B, you should prevent that Field_B is blanked.
If someone updates only Field_B and he doesn't change the value of the Picklist, the validation expression put on the Picklist is not evaluated.

Name of the table where can get the two fields Valid-From and Valid-to for

Hi gurus
I want name of the table where I can get the two fields Valid-From and Valid-To and their relation ship with the header table in BOM
Regards
Kaisar

You can only get the Valid from date from the table STKO.
To get the valid to date, you have to take one day less than the valid-from date of the next record for the same BOM.
Alternatively use the Function module:
CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ
It will give both valid from and valid to dates in the tables parameter: T_STKO

Currency field validation

Hi All,
For SRM-MDM catalog workflow, I want to write a currency field validation to find out the catalog item data records where difference between the original price and the new price for the same catalog item data is greater than 1%.
So as a precursor to the final validation expression, I wrote a very primitive validation expression like:
IF((Contract Price.Amount - [Original].Contract Price.Amount)>1,FALSE,TRUE)
And I was expecting that this should return a FALSE boolean value whenever difference is greater than 1. But surprisingly, irrespective of the difference in the amount, it always returns a TRUE value.
I am wondering whether it is a problem with the validation expression or is it a bug? I am working on SAP MDM 5.5 SP04 Patch 02 (5.5.63.71).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Satyen

Hi Nisha,
Thank you for your reply.
As I had mentioned in my previous post, irrespective of whether, amount value is incremented or decremented, it always returns FALSE.
Syntactically and logically, your validation expression is correct but still it always return an error message (a FALSE value).
What do you reckon, is it a bug in the MDM software?
Regards,
Satyen
