Rating is mandatory for Appraisal form

Question

Hi SAP Gurus,
     How to make ratings mandatory in the appraisal template?
     At VC level I have given value Input as optional/required, but while testing even if I exit the form without giving the ratings in the respective fields there is no error or error message popping up. I can exit the form without giving the ratings also.
    Is there any BADI which I need to use or any configuration whcih I'm missing please let me know.
  In short my requirement is to make all the ratings are to be entered, its mandatory. Without which user cant exit the form.

Hi,
When you say Exiting, do you mean, Save the changes and exit or simply quit the window without saving also? In genaral, when you mark the field mandatory, the evaluation of the mandatoryness can be postponed till Save time. At Save, on before Save event, check for mandatory fields and give error if the condition is not satisfied. In VC itself, you can write a regular expression on Save for checking mandatory fields and fail save if they are not filled. In this case, as this field is not mandatory in the level below and you are having this additional mandatory option, you need to implement required logic at VC or at underlyuing calls invoked.
Best Regards,
Venkat.
