Hi Sabyasachi,

"Recommended" will make the field display on-screen just like a "Required" field, however the system will not force the user to enter input as it would with an actual "Required" field.

The best way to understand what "Recommended" does is to try it out and see.

Cheers,

Amy

Hiii,

1) When you make any i/o field as RECOMMENDED than system will not stop you forcefully for entering value in that field but when you make it REQUIRED system will stop you forcefully for entering value .

2) such as you have 2 field one is REQUIRED and one is RECOMMENDED than for filling value inside fields, system will give priority to REQUIRED field than RECOMMENDED field .

same without filling value in RECOMMENDED field you can save your data also

For better understanding try it .

Hi,

Recommended means your program is recommended user to input value in that field for future reference or whatever reason.

for e.g..

you are creating program of delivery creation and you have put one Input filed(Remark field) has recommended field then your program recommend user to input remark against that delivery ..for e.g remark for future reference or some other purpose(e.g in remark user may write purchase order number that against this order number delivery is created)...

if user will not enter remark than there is no other impact in program or program will not stop you.

second reason.

when you are using tabstrip control in module pool program and your screen filed are required then without entering value in that field program will not allow you to switch the screen.so in that case of for user friendly system some programmer mark field as recommended,it allows user to switch the screen without entering value.

recommended and required both show the same sign in field...check both will display the right sign in field..

if useful give me reward point.

Warm Regards!!
