what is the difference between Field Status Varient and
Field Status Group.
Please explain in Brief.

Answer Posted / hannah

Hi,
SDRO rule. The fields status Variant can be Suppressed,
Displayed, Required, Optional.
Where as FSG (group into Field status Variant) controls only
the the document line item for that account.

There are only three field status options during document entry:
- Suppressed
- Required
- Optional

If both FSV and FSG has the same field as Suppressed
Required and optional, system uses the link rules, takes the
one which has the highest priority(in this case required).
But in case of Master record Field status which is
controlled by Account Group, there are 4 options of field
status:
- Suppressed
- Display
- Required
- Optional

Account group defines:
a. length of gl account number
b. no. ranges of the gl account numbers
c. field status of the GL account master data in the
company code segment.(which fields to appear when you create
a gl account) (to control...double click on your GL account
group in Screen transaction code OBD4)


b. document screen layout during posting of a document.
(which fields to appear in a document...double click on the
select field status Varient and make the entries as
required/optional etc for particular Field )

Field status group defines:
Document screen layout during posting of a document. (which
fields to appear in a document...double click on the field
status group and select fields and make the entries as
required /optional etc)

LOGIC: you assign field status variant to the company code,
FSV is a bundle of field status groups.

ex: in FSG G001 you have made the text as required
entry...you assigned the field status group g001 to cash
account..so when you use cash account and try to post a
document it will definitely prompt you to enter the text
(text made as required.)

Both FSV and FSG control the same feilds in a document.There
is no nce between FSG and FSV but we should know the
allowed combinations....
