Unable to make field non-mandatory using SM30/T588M

Hello Gurus -
My client would like the field LAND1 (country key) to be optional in infotype 21 (Family Members/Dependants). Standard delivery appears to be that this field is mandatory if any of the address fields are populated. We have tried to make this non-mandatory by setting it as Optional or Hiding it in T588M. No matter how we set this field up, it still behaves as mandatory if any address field is populated. We are certain we are at the correct Mod Pool/Variable Key combination as we have successfully changed other field requirements for this infotype.
Does anyone have any input as to why we are encountering this problem and/or suggestions as to how to get around it?
Thanks!
Zaj

Hi,
Follow IMG path -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Customizing User Interfaces-> Change Screen Modifications
Try using the below screen for modification for IT 0021:
Module Pool          MP002100
Standard screen      2001
Alternative screen   2001
Feature         P0021
In feature see that you maintain for which MOLGA Country Grouping and subtyes you want to use.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Padmaja.

Make project profile field non mandatory in CJ20n Transaction

Hi,
this is a required field, as far as the standard SAP code goes: everytime this field is touched the following function is executed in programme FV45EF0V_VBEP-EDATU_EINGEBEN:
    call function 'PERIOD_AND_DATE_CONVERT_INPUT'
      exporting
        external_date     = rv45a-etdat
        external_period   = rv45a-prgbz
      importing
        internal_date     = vbep-edatu
        internal_period   = vbep-prgrs
        ev_date_in_past   = lv_date_in_past
        ev_period_in_past = lv_period_in_past
      exceptions
        no_data           = 1
        period_invalid    = 2
        date_invalid      = 3.
    case sy-subrc.
      when 1.
        set cursor field 'RV45A-PRGBZ' line sy-stepl.

        message e394.
The only way to avoid this is create an implicit enhancement at the beginning of this form, copy the exisitng code in there, delete the message after WHEN 1. and put RETURN at the end of the enhancement. But this would be HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED, because I am positive you cause a lot of misery later on in the process: this field is mandatory for a reason!

Hi,
Are you trying to make required parameters readonly and does this variable have different values for each row. If not then I would suggest you use a wrapper for the API and get only parameters that you need from the excel sheet and the use the wrapper to send the other read only values.

Making "Room" field Non Mandatory - PM Notifications

Dear PM Experts,
Can any one tell me where to make field Room under Tab Loctions of PM Notificaitons (in brakedown notifications) non mandatory. Because in my client this field is mandatory. Although I have a place to make this fields optional for PM Orders, I don't find the same field in the place where we can make fields optional for notificaitons (under T-Code OQM1).
Please Help.
Cheers
Deepal

Hi,
As the field is part of location/account assignment data the same customizing would be effective for both orders and notifications. This group of fields can be customized with transaction OIAZ.
If you have different behaviour between notifications and orders then the customizing is based on influencing fields - Possibly order type and notification type.
To check this - Run OIAZ and select the 'influences' icon.

How to make parameters non-mandatory?

Hi, I am a noob to Discoverer. I've created a report with several parameters. Most of them accept default value of '%', but one of them not.
There's also a 'value required' string next to the field in IE (other fields do not have this). If I run the report, it runs ok only if there's something in the field listed.
As I've read on this forum, there should be an option to say, if the parameter is mandatory, or not. I don't see such option when creating a parameter. I use Discoverer Desktop 4.1.
Any ideas?

You could choose a number that is not in your result set (negative, decimal, or something large or small).
Another way would be to get rid of that parameter, and create a new one - but do not base the parameter on anything (choose <NONE> in the dropdown). Now, you can use '%' as a wild card, but you'll need to create your own condition:
:newParam = '%'
OR to_number(:newParam) = myNumericItem

Make Fields Non Editable on Debugger

Hi..
Well I have a program which deal with some sensitive data and passwords, I need to restrict users with debugging access from changing field content at runtime (in debugger). Is this possible?
and also I have a password field, can I make it a password field at debugger? I do not want to show password on debugger.
Thank you in Advance.
Isuru

As already mentioned you can always write the code inside a macro & prevent the developer from debugging it. But the flip side of using macro is "YOU CAN'T DEBUG !!!". Hence no troubleshooting
Anyways back to your question. You can direct your query to your basis team if they can provide "no change" authorisation while debugging this particular program. Hope you get my point.

Make fields as mandatory on create shopping cart txn

Hi,
Is there a config available to define certain input fields on the create shopping cart txn as mandatory ? Requirement is to have a check in place to ensure all these fields are filled with valid values before the SC is saved.
Thanks.

Hi Masayuki ,
I have tried to use this option earlier, but this just does not work ! We have a custom attribute which is required as a mandatory field. I made this as 'Required Field' using customization. By using this config, I do see an 'asterix' mark next to our custom field (which denotes a mandatory field) , however there is no error if I do not provide a value in that field.

Dynamically make field 2 mandatory when field 1 is entered in OAF page?

Hi ,
In OAF page i have a DFF with 2 attributes, when field 1 is entered then field 2 should become mandatory. How do I achieve this?
Thanks
Mani

One option is to validate it on the click on submit button using the VO attributes.
Check whether Attribute2 has value when Attribute1 is not null and throw exception.

Make field non editable

HI,
I have a field on the form which is a database field and the value is populated by a LOV. The user should not be able to edit the value selected or enter his own values in the field. Basically the field should only be populated by the lov and should not be editable.
I tried using the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('XX.XX', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE); but this only disable update against existing value. If a user selects a new value from LOV that can be edited. Let me know how to solve this.

Hi,
If you don't want the user not to edit the field at all, then you can set its INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED properties to FALSE at design time or at run time depends upon the requirement.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('<block_name>.<item_name>', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('<block_name>.<item_name>', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);Or you can set the item as Display Item.
Regards,
Manu.
