Mandatory Fields

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a bit strange requirement. I need to know all the mandatory fields of a t-code on per screen basis & inform the end user.

Can anyone please guide me on how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

it's really simple : it's not possible

a lot of time the mandatory fields are ABAP4 coding in the transaction. For example when you create a customer, the mandatory fields will be determined by the Account Group. So how to answer this question just with trans. XD01 ??

If not in general, can we provide a solution with some limitations?

I mean we maintain at least few fields somewhere which are gonna be mandatory for every execution.

Seriously forget this, you will have only special case. All the transactions I could image it's specific : MM01, MM02, XD01, XD02, XK01, XK02, VA01, VA02 ......

Hi Bhavya,

on any screen you have to check for mandotary fields, if system asks to fill any field

before moving to another screen, it means mandatory,

But my question is that, by this way you have to go through each screen of your all

transactions, so littlebit strange about your requirements.

Hi Bhavya,

It feels like your user is less keen to imbibe himself in processes.

As a consultant I feel to make them understand to keep approach healthy while dealing with system.

This will help both in long and short term.

Are you talking about module pool or selection screen report?

if module then ..follow steps.

you can get program name from t-code

after that tcode

go to

se51

enter program name and screen number

then press display.

in element list

select tab --> special attr.

you can see following type screen.  this is just path to get values ... rest u need do some programming to form a report...

Further More You can use RS_IMPORT_DYNPRO function module to get mentioned above parameters..

Hi,

Now I am having another issue. A field is mandatory on screen. How can it be possible if it does not follow any of the conditions mentioned below:

1. It is NOT marked as "Required" in the Special Attributes of Screen.

2. During debbuging, NO logic is trigrerred that makes it mandatory.

Still I get the message, "Fill in all required entry fields".

Hi Bhavya,

  Please check the following:

1.) If the message is cming from code then you can do a global search in program with message number.

2.) There are few fields which are mandatory at config level , Its tough to get those fields.  

3.) Few fields will be mandatory based on condition. Like for some posting Tax code is mandatory but for other case its not. (Cross company posting or Inter company posting), In this case also its tough to get mandatory fields.

Better way discuss the same with some good functional.

It is not possible completely.

We can only take care of the fields that are made mandatory via "Configuration" or by "Special Attributes of Screen".

Fields made mandatory via ABAP code can't be covered. So closing this issue.

Thanks for the useful replies.
