Field Status Definition
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 delivered system. The variant name is the same as the company code, and each company code is assigned to this variant.
You can work with the same field status groups in more than one company code, as outlined below:
Maintain field status variant
Assign company code to field status variant.
If you do not maintain the field status, all fields will be hidden.
Example of a field status group
You defined a separate field status group for bank accounts because you always need the same fields for posting to bank accounts. Within this group, the allocation number, text, and value date fields are optional. You have specified that all other fields be suppressed.
Other factors
Besides the field status group in the account master record, your posting key specifications also affect posting. For each posting key, you can decide what status any fields should have with a key when posting. But because there are only two posting keys for posting to G/L accounts in the standard system, you should use the field status groups from accounts in the master record for your screen layouts. The field status definition for posting keys 40 (debit posting to G/L accounts) and 50 (credit posting to G/L accounts) have optional status for each field in the delivered system. Do not change this.
Some fields are controlled by other specifications. If you work with business areas, show the field centrally using company code specifications. The component documentation for general ledger accounting (FI-GL) as well as accounts receivable and payable (FI-AP/FI-AR) explains in greater detail when fields can be suppressed or shown independently of a field status group.
Field status groups and reconciliation accounts
You must also enter field status groups in reconciliation accounts. These specifications affect the customer or vendor account during posting. You cannot enter any field status groups in the master records for these accounts.

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. -
SAP report of field status variant, in 4.7
Hello all,
Is there a SAP report that lists a field status variant, its groups, the groups fields, and the entry properties of the fields?
In customization, path /Financial Accounting/Financial Accounting Global Settings/Document/Line Items/Controls/Maintain Field Status Variants - execute
Gets you to the transaction where this is set up. If you have access to this transaction, you can see all of that information, even capture it to a spool or presentation file.
We want to give this information to users who don't have that access.
I am hoping that someone knows of a SAP report with that information, or someone has already created their own report and is willing to share some code.
I started to look at function PREPARE_FIELD_SELECT_STRING, but got lost in the detail. If that is only way to get what I want, well...
Thanks

Custom fields in Field status variant and Posting keys
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,
SwapnilHello Chakardhar,
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 ahd been able to hep you out. Please assign points and let me know if you need anything specific.

HI,
in Tcode OBC5 what is field status variant - use of it
where it is defined & assignedHi,
Field status variant is defined in tcode OBC4.
It is the field group which defines which field should be suppressed, mandatory & optional to fill while creating a gl account.
Field group 0001 is the by default from which you can copy for your company purpose & name it as per your requirement. You can also define the new field in the copied field group for your purpose. You can make changes in the copied group by double clicking on them, then it shows the select the group, then double click on anyone you like. It will show the fields from there you can change the setting & highlight the field as per your requirements.
Please let me know if anymore help u need.

Transactional dependent field status variant and field status varinat
hi gurus,
can any one please tell me what is transactional dependent field status variant and field status varinat and what is the difference between the both,what this both control?
appreciated if answered.
Regards,
sandeep.chHi
Any field status varinat is a bundle of filed status grouop(FSG). A FSG will control the Screen layout of the Document while you post.Whether a filed is required, optional or suppressed etc.
Transactional dependent data:
Transaction Dependent Control - Field status can also be configured at the master data transaction level i.e. during Create, Change, and Display. Thus, if a user wishes that after creation of master data certain fields should not be changed, same can be set as 'Display'. One such example can be fields like reconciliation account, payment terms etc.So these terms remain constant while posting and user cant change these fields.

Field Status variant for creating FB60/65/70/75
Hello everyone,
Our client wants to make Material Group field (V023-MATKL) field mandatory for FI invoices. I looked at the FSV and FSG. It has materials management and below that it has only purchase order etc but no Material Group. I know BSEG does not contain MATKL field at all.
My question to everyone is;
1. is it possible to customize/add the fields under the groups "general" or "material management"?
2. if yes, how (is it code modification?)
3. if not, what is the alternative I have to satisfy the requirement?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
TIA,
AnujI would suggest using CO-PA for this.
You can create rules to determine values for material group.
You will need a CO-PA expert to advise you. -

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.

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,
JanHi,
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.

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! :-)

MichaelGerd,
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.

what is the difference between field status, and fieldstaus group?
Hi,
Field status variant is the bundle of field status groups.You bind all the fields status groups into a field status variant.
field status is the how the fields should appear when the doc is posted. ex: whether a field should be suppressed, required or optional etc.
Field status group control the field status.

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. -
I want to download the GL account field status info from SAP table in the following path:IMG -> Financial Accounting(New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings(New) -> Ledgers -> Fields -> Define Field Status Variants.I need each field status info(Suppress / Require Entry / Option Entry),but I don't know I can download them from which table.
Dear,
What you can do is use the table SKB1 and get the field status group for the GL, there is no specific table which shows S R O of the field status variant but you can see the table T004F. -
Hi.
Say, we have created 1 field status variant assigned the same to 2 company codes. Company code 1 require 1 specific field whereas the same is to be suppressed for company code 2. What to do?
Please explain.
Regards in advance.
SriniIn terms of FSG, you can create as many as you want.
When you define your GL accounts at a Company Code level, a single GL account used by 2 Company Codes can have two different FSG's.
In terms of the variants for FSG you can have as many FSG's linked to a single variant.
HOWEVER you will need to be careful that the wrong GL account does not get linked to the wrong FSG. If you have lots of GL accounts that will share FSG's over the Company Code then, have a single variant, however if they will use seperate FSG's for all GL accounts in the Company Codes, then you should create 2 variants.
hope this helps.
