UDF mandatory based on item group?

Question

Hello -
Can someone help me make a user defined field in the BP mandatory only when certain item groups are selected on a sales order? The idea is that we have some products that we sell which require a license to obtain. I would like to force my employees to enter that information (license number and expiration) in the BP if one of those items is selected, knowing just eh groups of items is enough.  Ultimately it would be even much better if the expiration date of said license was check for validity as well...but I'd be happy enough knowing that the license was at least referenced.
Looking forward to your help!
Best regards,
Rob

I assume the UDF-s are row level UDF-s, because they are connected to the item.
You need two FMS to set the row level UDF-s according to the item and partner and some code in the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification procedure to prevent adding the document, if it contains an overdue expire date.
With your real UDF names try to connect the next queries to the U_expiredate and U_licencenumber  fields autorefresh according to the itemcode:
IF (Select i.ItmsGrpCode from OITM I Inner join OITB g
      on i.ItmsGrpCod = g.ItmsGrpCod Where i.ItemCode=$[$38.1.0]) in ('zyx','xyz')
   Select p.U_bpexpdate from OCRD p where p.CardCode=$[$4.1.0]
IF (Select i.ItmsGrpCode from OITM I Inner join OITB g
      on i.ItmsGrpCod = g.ItmsGrpCod Where i.ItemCode=$[$38.1.0]) in ('zyx','xyz')
  Select p.U_bplicensenumber from OCRD p where p.CardCode=$[$4.1.0]
Else Select u2018000000u2019
and insert this in your  SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure after the line
--     ADD     YOUR     CODE     HERE )
IF @transaction_type IN (N'A', N'U') AND @object_type = '17'
BEGIN
If exists
(Select t.Price From RDR1 t
   Where datediff(d,t U_expiredate,getdate())> 0 and U_licencenumber != u2018000000u2019
        and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
Select @error = 1,
   @error_message = N'Licence expired ! '
END
