Mandatory vatgruop field in VMP4

Question

How can i do to make the vatgroup field mandatory in outgoing payments, but only in outgoing payments in account?
II tried the code bellow in the SP_TransactionNotification but when i do a outgoing payments vendor the message appears saing that the vat group is missing.
--Outgoing Payment - accounts  mandatory field Project (Lines)
If @object_type = '46'
begin
Declare @iva as nvarchar(2)
Select @iva =
(SELECT top 1 T0.vatgroup
FROM VPM4 T0
where T0.docNum = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
order by T0.vatgroup
from VPM4 where docNum = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
if @iva='' or @iva is null
begin
set @error = 1
set @error_message = 'Código IVA em falta'
end
end
How can i do just to have the message when the user is in Outgoing payments accounts?
Kind Regards

Hello
If you would like to check field is filled or not, always use If exists instead of checking the value of the field.
Payment on Account : field name DocType, value  'A'
So:
If @object_type = '46'
begin
if exists(select 'A' from ovpm T0 inner join vpm4 T1 on t0.DocEntry = T1.DocNum  where T0.DocType = 'A' and isnull(T1.VatGroup,'') = '')
begin
'Provide error message here
end
end
