What is field status group, what does it control?

Answer Posted / geevidhyadhar

Hi all

During Transaction posting, the end user would see many
fields on the screen. While some fields mandatorily require
data input, there may be other fields which may or may not
require to be filled up with data ( such fields are called
optional fields). Some fields may also be hidden so that
they do not show up ( such fields are called hidden
fields). Each company code may decide the status of each
field and configure accordingly.

The field status needs to be set up for each line item
occuring in a transaction being posted.

Where do you set the status?

As you can never have a line item in a document with a G L
master Record and a related posting key, you set field
status in the G L Master record ( viz. in the Field Status
Group ) and also in all posting keys. When you enter a line
item using a G L master record during transaction posting,
the field status set in the posting key and the Field
status group compete with one another and based on a rule
called SRO rule the status of thefield is set ( Suppress
has the maximum priority, Required next and Optional has
the least priority).

This setting determines how a field would appear or
otherwise during document posting.

Hope this helps.

We use statistical internal orders to have more detail on the cost center for tracking activities in a vineyard.
