What is field status group, what does it control?

Answer Posted / ashish

A field Status Group is a part of a Field Status Variant. A field status group defines the properties to which a g/l  (FS00) must react.

Different Field Status Groups have to be applied for different G/L accounts.
For ex: G001(Field Status Variant) for General Ledgers
        G005("   "     "      ")   for Bank Accounts
        G067("   "     "      ")   for Reconciliation  A/c

Here, the General Ledgers, Bank Accounts and the reconciliation Accounts will react according to the preferences set in the respective characteristics of respective Field Status Groups.

To set the preferences, or to control G/l accounts, the field status groups provides us with certain options such as:

Suppressed:
Choose this option for not showing the  respective data

Required:
Choose this option for showing those data as a required one (a user cannot leave a screen unless and until the required field is filled up)

Optional:
Choose this option if the user either needs the respective data to be entered or not during the specific period of time according to preferences
