How to identify mandatory fields while using an idoc

[Former Member]

Hi

I am new to Idocs. I want to find out the mandatory fields in the segments that are used in an Idoc.

Please help.

Hi Lohitha,

I dont think there is a straight forward/documented way of knowing a mandatory field within a segment, however you can use WE30 or WE60 to identify the mandatory segments in an IDOC.

I guess you will have to use common knowledge of the requirement to know/identify a field that might be mandatory. For Ex: when you are creating an ITEM on a SO, Material is mandatory etc

Yes By using Idoc documentation(WE60), YOU CAN FIND THE MANDATORY SEGMENTS AND OPTIONAL SEGMENTS.

[SuhaSaha]

The field MUSTFL of the table IDOCSYN is marked 'X' for the mandatory segments.

You can check this table by providing the idoc type(key field).
