Hi,

field attributes is only maintained in code only...Everything is SAP is saved in the database only... so its also saved there .. but the problem is those reports code text are written is some other format in data base hence i think u will not be able to get those details from there .. so I dont think its possible!!!! But this a odd and new requirement for me .. all the best!!

But there is a mechanism through SPRO through which you can make certain fields of a transaction code mandatory or optional..There we will get to see the options of making the field mandatory or optional.Not aware if such a mechanism is available for all the transaction codes in SAP but there is one for a few MM transactions.I don remember the exact path of SPRO for that but you can check with any functional consultant to get a lead on this.

If your question is raised taking BDC recording into consideration then there is no way we can know all the mandatory fields or optional fields of a transaction through a table or a transaction code.

Thanks,

The answer is no. As far as I know there is no straight forward way to get list of them. The mandatory fields and hidden fields mostly depend on the business process implemented for that particular company (through IMG). Entering a value in one field can make some other field mandatory, it is mostly implemented at the program level (which is behind the business transaction).
