Hi Spandana,

You should work with your functional team to develop an FI validation rule in transaction GGB0.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually while creating the document, I need to check profit center and cost center values. If both the values are mentioned then i have to blank out cost center value and should create the document only with profit center value. This needs to be checked before saving the document.

can you please tell, is this requirement cant be implemented with user exit? if this is not possible then how can i do this with validation rule as you mentioned above.

Hi Spandana,

The validation rule via GGB0 is the preferred approach over a user exit. In most cases the functional team is responsible for developing these rules and ABAP is only needed in certain cases where ABAP coding is required. In that case you develop an exit routine in a module pool that's assigned to the validations, then the functional team configures the rule to call your exit routine.
