Field Status control .

Hi all ,
I wanted to know about what field status group is .
I went through the Forums and could understand that :
There is some setting in SPRO from where you can enable / disable the display or edit permissions of a field on shopping cart , we can also create classes and methods for fields/buttons etc to be displayed or not .
Can somebdy guide me on this OR
give a link where i can find the appropriate details .

In SRM 7.0 Webdynpro gives a very flexible platform to control the fields in your SRM Screens. Each SRM page in portal is a webdynpro application. The Webdynpro fields , Table controls, Action Buttons(edit, save etc) can be controlled through configuraiton and if required by coding in respective class and methods in SRM 7.0.
These configruations are done in IMG> SRM Server> Cross Application Basic Settings--> Extensions and Field Control
In this IMG, you will be able to see standard Meta Data for all fields on SRM screens with Business Object types. Most of these fields are having classes and methods assigned to them, code inside these methods controls the behavior of these fields.
In ordre for you to control these fields, add the standard/custom feilds to the Customer control configurations under the above path in IMG along with object types, assign a class/method to the field with your coding logic in it. This will override the standard configuration(with standard class/methods) in the system and those fields will be controlled as you wish.....
I hope that clears your doubts. More details can be found in the SolMan and respective IMG Path

Field Status control for fields at Account assignment level .

Hi All ,
I have to take care of enabling / disabling / hiding / making fields mandatory for some of the standard and custom fields for SC and PO depending on the Account assignment value .
I am not sure how to go about this .
I think this has to do something with the field status control .
SPRO -> IMG -> SRM sever -> cross application basic settings -> extension and field control ( personalization ) -> Configure control for fields of substructure .
I think i have to define some dyn class and also methods .
But not sure how to move ahead , how to declare class / methods , which super class to use , how will i get the req parameters for the methods , ...
Will appreciate a lot if somebody can guide me on this .
Regards,
Ambar Patil.

Hi ,
Check in SPRO for SRM -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) -> Configure Field Control.
The metadata configuration for enabling disabling actions/fields in SRM can be checked from the tables
This contains the data for all the business objects
Check in SM30 the following views:
/SAPSRM/V_MDA_HD for Header actions
/SAPSRM/V_MDA_IT for Item Actions
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_HD for header fields
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_IT fir IT fields.
You can customize your logic for enabling diabling the actions or fields by maintaining the entries in the corresponding customer views for this data
for e.g.
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_HC for header customer fields
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC for item customer fields
You need to maintain field enabled, disabled ,required based on your requirement.

MIRO: Field Status control per GL master for non-goods receipt invoices

When posting incoming invoices in FI using FB60, the combination of GL account and CO account assignment are validated and checked against Field Status Group (FSTAG). Such controls are also in place in MM for purchase requisition (ME51N) and purchase order (ME21N), in addition to checking the account assignment category.
But there is problem in posting non-goods receipt (2-way match) invoices in MIRO u2013 system checks GL account and account assignment object according to account assignment category in PO, but not the field status based on GL account. GL account and acct assignment object are proposed by purchase order. However they can be overwritten by users with no validation, often resulting in incorrect posting. Wonder how other manage this issues in their companies.
I would like and need help in implementing a validation or user exit in MIRO which will check GL account against its CO account assignment for cost centre, order or WBS, based on the field status group of the GL master.
Q1, Where is the user-exit or validation maintained that checks the field status group in FB60 and ME21N (not in OB28 or GGB0)?
Q2. If purchase requisition and purchase order check field status group based on GL account, how can we make such controls available in MIRO?
Q3. What is the transaction code for developing a validation for MIRO? (MM MIRO not appeared in the application area of GGB0.)
Appreciated any help

Hi
Th evalidation should be at the source is the Purchase Order. I beleive it is standard SAP Config to put the validation there. So once the PO has been created with the correct account assignments the GR and IR will be correct.

Header data field status control

Hi SAP gurus
Where can I configure transaction code dependent field
status. What exactly I need is :"to control the
appearance of fields of Document Header like
"Reference", "Document
header text", "Translation date" etc in the
transaction F-02(General posting)".
Like for example I want to suppress the field
"Translation date" in the TC F-02, what should I do?
Thanks
Regards
Pavan

Hi Ambar
Try to find in the list of fields in Table Extensions. GO to the respective Table Extension configuration under WebDynpro Field Control in SRM Config(Extensions and Field Control).
If it is not there , then you wont find it available for dynamic control on this field.

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

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

Transaction Dependent Field Status

Hi everbody,
The G/L a/c master data can be maintained by Field Status control. Account Group will control fields in company code and I heard there are some other TRANSACTION DEPENDENT FIELD STATUS will control the fields as well. Is it true? If then where is this control is located/any T.Code?
Thanks & Reg,
Sridhar.

You only can maintain the field status in posting key.
You can use tcode OB41, and select the post key you want to maintain the field status, on the left top corner, you will find the icon 'maintain fields status', then you will get the 'fields status group' and change what you want.

Validation: Field status of G/L account

Problem: When posting non-goods receipt invoices in MIRO, G/L account and acct assignment object are proposed by purchase order, but they can be overwritten by users with no validation, often resulting in incorrect posting.
Such validation controls are in place for ME51N and ME21N. That is, the combination of GL account and account assignment are validated/checked against Field Status Group (FSTAG u2013 based on G/L master) as well as Account Assignment Category (in PO). I want to extend those controls to MIRO non-GR invoices.
This problems fits description in OSS Note 522101. The solution recommended in the Note is u201CPossible incorrect entries could be checked or corrected by validation or substitution if necessary.u201D
If I create a validation in OB28, how should I express the logic in "Check"?
Appreicate any help on this.

Hi,
I do not think so that there are standard BADI or User Exit available in std sap for such validations.
It is a facility given by sap to post to a separate GL account in MIRO screen.
If you want a GL to be taken only with perticular cost center or other account assignment , try a user exit or try changing the std program for MIRO.

Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant

HI,
I have created company called 'zg01'.
when i try to create a GL ACCOUNT FOR this company using (FS00) i am getting the following error.
Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION I HAVE CREATED COA and assign the same to the company ZG01.
Please suggest....
also suggest how to i transport GL Accounts used by other companys of my system to my newly created company code : zg01.
so that i can save creation of GL ACCOUNT.

You have to maintain field status variant and assign it to your company code. This is required for GL master data.
1. Define Field status variant in SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Define Field status variant. You create the field status variant and the field status group.
2. Assign the Field Status group to your company code SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Assign Company Code to Field Status Variants
Once you have defined this you will be able to assign field status group to your GL master data.
The use of Field Status Group is to determine the required/displayed/optional fields during posting transactions.

Field Status for Vendor Line item or Customer line item

Hi
Can i need to check the Field status for Vendor or Customer Line item when i use the transaction codes F-43 or F-22. This is very urgent.
Regards

Hi Vinay,
You cannot check the Field Status directly when posting a document. The Field Status is controlled by the Field Status group. This is controlled at 3 levels, the company code level, G/L Master level and at the Posting key level. Field status at the posting key level overwrites other groups. It is basically to control which fiedls need to be supressed, which are required and which are optional.
In FS00 under the create/bank/interest tab you will find the field group. Check the Recon account assigned to your vendor/customer master and check the field status in FS00.
Regards
Sridhar

SAP MDM field status and SAP ERP field status

Just wanted to understand what are the implications of a field status mismatch between SAP MDM and SAP ECC for Vendor Masters. Further, what happens in a scenario where the vendor master data is changed directly in SAP ECC. I am presuming that both systems will not be in sync as the MDM system talks one way and updates the SAP ECC system. Or is there a feasibility whereby any change carried out in SAP ECC is also routed back to SAP MDM.

Hi,
Basically MDM is implemented in order to maintain Master Data at single location, such that control can be incorporate in flow of Master Data.
Thus it is recommended that master data should be changed or created in MDM itself and than syndicated to other systems.
But in case Master Data need to be changed in ECC, MDM ABAP API's can be used to update data in MDM Repositories directly from ECC so that Master Data remains in Sync.
(Using MDM ABAP APIs, code can e developed in ECC to update fields in MDM.)

How can we make a field confirm control compulsory field

how can we make a field 'confirm control' compulsory field while creating a vendor code
this field is under tab default data material tab while creating vendor code in purchasing org .part of vendor

Hello,
This can be done using the configuration..
Go to Logistics - General >Business Partner>Vendors>Control>Define Account Groups and Field Selection (Vendor)--> and select the vendor group for which you want this field to be mandatory.
Press details --> in the block "field status", double click Purchasing Plant and again double click Plant level purchasing data, in the second page (down), you can see the confirmation control key, that you have to make as req entry.
If you want the conf control key to be mandatory for all the vendors groups, then you can do this by purchasing organisation level..that config node is just below this settings.

Sakthi
