Hello HongNguyen ,
Please try the following customzing path in your system if you haven't already:
- Transaction SPRO
   - IMG
     - Materials Management
      - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory
        - Settings for Enjoy Transactios
           - Settings for Goods Movements (MIGO)

Hello Nabil
Could you explain what is the point of making PDN12.Trancat mandatory? I am asking this because at my end that field has got NULL value in all PDN12 table entries, and I am not sure if this field can be updated manually when creating a Good Receipt PO. Considering this, it seems that by making this field mandatory TN will block all Good Receipts from addition.

How to set Batch as mandatory field in Subcontracting PR component input

Hello,SDN members
Happy New Year!
My scenario is about subcontracting purchasing:
1. Move stock to vendor through movement 541
2. Create a purchase requisition includes items with item category "L",
and then input component,that is a quantity of material moved to vendor above
3. Convert PR to PO
4. Process GR according to PO
Beause the batch field is optional in component input screen above step2,the user always forget to input it.
So I want to set Batch field as mandatory in component input screen.
I have not idea about it,Could anyone give suggestion?

this batch number field for the component in the PO is optional for various reasons. the batch that you send to your subcontractor may not even be produced at the time when you create the PO. In this case the user could not enter anything.
The PO is created by buyers, but the component is send to the vendor by the shipping department, the buyer usually does not care about the batch.
The batch field becomes mandatory when you ship the material to the vendor using ME2O, or even in the transaction MB1B
and the batch field is again mandatory when you receive the finished good and have to issue the component.
The batch field in the PO component can only be made mandatory from a good developer in a user exit

Hi,
You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
This is by design that
Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

How to set up port forwarding on extreme with NAS

I've purchased a NAS (Synology DS211j with 2 caviar HD) over a month ago. Setting up the NAS for wireless connection locally was easy. I've been trying for 3 weeks on how to set-up port forwarding on my airport extreme base. I''ve researched and read countless threads on port forwarding and still cannot grasp the concept and the step by step provided. I need somebody that's patient enough to hand hold and guide me through this frustrating problem.
Equipment:
Comcast cable modem connected into Airport Extreme Base
Synology DS211j connected to Airport Extreme Base
Problem:
Cannot connect to my DiskStation via internet from wherever
confused whether to use FTP or Personal file sharing or whatever is the most suitable for my needs
Just need to access files on my DiskStation view/upload/download from wherever I'm at, whether on PC or Macbook Pro
Thanks in advance!
Marcus

Here are the basic steps to configure your NAS for port mapping:
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
Click "Continue"
(ref: "Well Known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products)

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setA

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setActionListener?
I have tried with following code srcpage.jspx->destpage.jspx

<af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"
var="emp" rows="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeStart}"

to="#{cookie}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
</af:table>
espage.jspx
<af:outputText value="Test Cookie Value: #{cookie}"/>
,Here Test Cookie Value prints the following instead of its original String value
{JSESSIONID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@7da288, oracle.uix=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@399f62}
I have passed employee name "Robert" to cookie in srcpage.jspx,but it prints "JSESSIONID....." instead of "Robert" in destpage.jspx
Thanks in advance
Kalee

Hi,
"cookie" is a reserved name. If you want to write to a session scope attribute called "cookie" then you have to call #{sessionScope.cookie}. If you want to use EL to set and read from cookies then you will have to use
#{cookie.cookieName}
Note that #{cookie} writes to and returns a map

How to set key fields in a Database view

Hi guru's
iam balaji,plz guide me with how to set key fields in a view.......that field is a non key field in the base table....
thanks in advance,
Balaji.S

take a look at this:
Diagnosis
    In the view, not all of the mandatory fields were included as key
    fields. The key of the view therefore is not unique.
System Response
    All the fields are regarded as key fields in order to guarantee that th
    key lengths are unique.
Procedure
    For views with a large number of fields, this could have a negative
    effect on the performance for the language construction described below
    In this case, all the mandatory key fields should be included in the
    view.

Using AX as wireless router, how to set up w/ security and airtunes on XP

I previously had a Linksys wireless router. I just purchased an Airport express to use as the wireless router (and remove the Linksys router) as well as use the Airtunes functionality.
After some trial and error, I have been able to wireless connect my computer to the AX on it's own (the linksys router is now unplugged and out of the equation). I can connect to the internet fine on my PC (XP Pro SP2).
Trouble is, when I use the Network Setup Assistant, it shows the apple network listed, but it can't connect to it, no matter how many times I try, reboot my machine or reboot the AX. I've tried both the "setting up a new network" and "editing an existing network" option, and in each selection, after a few minutes of trying to connect to the network, I just get a failure message.
If I try and use the Admin utility, nothing shows up in the left-hand list window, and when I Press re-scan, still nothing shows (it doesn't even appear to scan).
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't find simple instructions on how to set up the AX as the only wireless router for a PC and set up security and Airtunes (I'm assuming enabling airtunes is done in these applications, as I haven't seen anything about that yet either).
Any ideas on how this is done with a PC? Much thanks!

I have found the 'DHCP Reservations' option on the AirPort Extreme to be buggy. I seem to remember it causing IP conflicts for some reason. I think what I remember is that if the computer with the reservation was off, and the DHCP server then handed out that IP to another DHCP client, then there would be a conflict when the reserved IP computer was turned back on. Maybe it was an issue in ealier versions of the AE or OS X as the case may be, and maybe it's been corrected, but I've never bothered using it agian since the method I describe below has always worked without fail. Also, I'm guessing DHCP Reservations would work fine if one manually enters IPs outside of the DHCP range but in the AE 'DHCP Reservation Setup Assistant' the IP options provided are within the DHCP range which to me makes no sense and increases the potential for IP conflicts.
Here's what I do to setup a mixed environment of static and dynamic IPs on my network. It works like a charm and does not require the DHCP server (beyond the distribution of dynamic IPs to hosts using DHCP).
For machines on my network that are accepting services from the public network, I set them up with static IPs using the 'Manually' option (System Preferences/Network/Ethernet/Configure IPv4). The settings for 'Router' IP address and 'DNS Server' IP address should both be set with your gateway/router LAN IP). Use an IP address below or above the DHCP range of adresses (in AE/Internet/DHCP/DHCP Beginning & Ending Address).
i.e. if my subnet is 10.0.1.1 and my DHCP range is 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.150, you could set the static IPs on your local hosts as 10.0.1.x where x = any number from 2 - 99 or from 151 - 200 as an example.
All other machines and devices that do not require static routing are setup as DHCP clients and get a dynamic IP from the AE. To me it's a simpler setup though it might take a little extra time to setup initially.
