Hi abhinav,
You have to define field status outside of the master record. Mark the field status you need for each field or field group under a field status group. Then assign the field status group to individual G/L accounts in the G/L account master records.
Field status groups are independent of company code, attaching instead to the field status variant. A separate variant exists in each company code for field status groups in the standard system. The name of the variant is identical to the company code. Each company code is assigned to the variant with the same name. You can work with the same field status groups in more than one company code, as outlined below: Proceed as follows:
Maintain field status variants
Assign a company code to the field status variant
Do not forget to maintain the field status. Otherwise, all fields are suppressed.
=========================================================
The another way of saying the same thing is as following.
Since the same fields for document entry are required for several G/L accounts, you define the status of fields for a group of G/L accounts. You create the definition under a field status group. Enter the key of the group in the master record of the G/L account. Field status groups are cross-company code, that is, they do not depend on the company code but on the field status variant. In the standard system, a separate variant for field status groups exists for each company code. The name of the variant is the same as the company code. Every company code is assigned to the variant with the same name. You can work in several company codes with identical field status groups as long as these company codes are assigned to the same field status variants. You define the field status for each individual posting key.
Hope I had been able to help you out. please assign points and close the thread. let me know if you need anything specific.

    Hi everyone!
    Is there a field status group (FSG) variant for the Profit. Segment?
    When there is direct posting from FI, Profit. Segment data are also manually inputted by clicking the Profit. segment button.
    I just would like to try and change which fields will be suppressed and/or required.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Every FSG will have profitablity segment field. You just have to select the status. Suppress/Req entry/ Optional.

  • Custome Fields in Field status groups

    Hi,
    We have defined some custom fields in BSEG table for which we wish to control the field status through Field status groups and Posting keys as well.
    Has some one addressed this requirement before? Please provide me some inputs on this.
    Regards,
    Swapnil

    Please check the your custom fields are added in Coding Block or not. Then these field must appear in the Addition Assignment section of the field status group.

  • Trading Partner and Field status Groups

    Hello,
    I've red in previous posts how it's possibile to be mandatory the  trading partner field (VBUND) for G/L acounts.
    At the end; it seems that it could be done with a validation.
    But someone could explain me why it cannot possible to manage this with Field status Groups?
    Thanks in advance
    Alberto

    Hi,
    There are 2 options availabel to populate trading partner 1 is by populating in the GL account master in the initial screen by which you would need to have multiple inter-company accounts. Or you can go to the document type configuration OBA7 and select "enter trading partner " in control data this would populate trading partner in case the inter-company posting is between 2 co codes.
    You would also populate trading patner in the customer and vendor master which are inter-company.
    In scenarios where you have posting in more than one inter-company the system doesnt derive the trading partner there you need to populate the trading partner manually and hence you require a validation to make trading partner for a group of GL accounts.
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks and regards

  • Posting key X Field status group

    Hello,
    How is it possible to define Field status group depending on Posting key.
    Field status group is assinged to GL account.
    However I can see that when I E.g. post to a customer account - when using different posting keys there are different field status variants in FB01.
    I cannot find this is set up in SPRO.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Jan

    Hi,
    Field status can be determined through Posting key also. In OB41, click on any posting key and in the next screen Field status tab is available.
    This can be used to configure Field status of document line item posting key wise.

  • Obc4 field status group

    Hi Consultant,
    In obc4, i can see group like general data, additional account assignments, payment transactions, etc in group G005.
    Or group G001 got general data also.
    May I know say general data group, which tcode I can see general data group? the field like assignment number, text, invoice reference sitting in general data group are showing in different tcode? I do not see in F-02 or FB01 with area called general data or payment transactions, etc.
    Thanks

    There are two ways in which Field Status Groups are controlled:
    1. Posting Keys
    2. Accounts
    Use OB41 and OBC4 to determine which field is hidden.
    Use OBA7 to control header level document type characteristics.
    If you still cannot control/find this, make sure you don't have a screen variant enabled that is hiding these fields.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Strange error F5272 with field status group.

    Dear all,
    I faced a strange problem when making manual FI posting through FB01.
    The system issues an error:
    Rules for posting key 27 and acct 60010100 set incorrectly for "PRODPER" field
    Message no. F5272
    Diagnosis
    One of the rules specifies that the field demands a required entry, the other rule says that the field is to be suppressed.
    Procedure
    Correct one of the two rules for the field selection.
    You find the field status group in the G/L account master record:
    Execute function
    You can find the rules for the field status group in the Financial Accounting Implementation Guide in the activity Maintain field status variants.
    You can find the posting key in the Financial Accounting Implementation Guide in the activity
    Define posting key.
    But I could not find the field PRODPER in group status field for G/L account (T-code OBC4) or posting key (T-code OB41). Could you please tell me why the system issues such a strange error?
    I have been searching all day long in forum, but could not find the answer to this question.
    Best regards,
    LInh.

    Check then field status will be same with these two field status OBC4 and OB41 - Posting key.
    The field is "Joint Venture Recovery Indctr" for the field name PRODPER.
    This field must be suppressed in those one and other has another status.
    Check these should be same.
    OB41 - Posting key 27.
    As the field is suppressed here, then it will be also suppressed in OBC4.
    First go to FS00, enter the G/L account, click on the tab Create/bank/interest, then take the Field status group
    Then go to OBC4, Check the field selection group for the field "Joint Venture Recovery Indctr"
    It should be also suppressed. Check the same in your system.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • MIRO didnt validate GL field status group

    Is it an SAP standard for MIGO not to read/validate GL account's FSG?
    Scenario:  GL account from PO has field status group Cost center required and WBS suppressed.
    During Invoice user was able to enter WBS data in the WBS column, system should have not allowed use to put WBS since FSG is WBS suppressed.
    When we tried the same scenario in FB50, FB60, FB70
    System won't allow us to enter WBS data in the WBS column, which is correct and should have happened to MIRO
    Thanks in advance to all.

    Does it matter if it was changed?
    The posted GL account has FSG of WBS suppressed, but in FB03 display data entry and GL view posting shows an entry of WBS element.
    Line item display the WBS element is not there since FSG (screen) is WBS suppressed.
