make field empty and mandetory

[aberawi]

Hello,

I need to make field "meter reading type" in EL28 empty and mandatory... the requirement is due to that we need to enter some readings that are coming from different sources manually... and I need to make sure the user is selecting the correct meter reading type.

I could make it mandatory using shd0, but I am unable to make it come empty by default,,, can anyone help please

Hello,

Since you are using EL28 which SAP considers as Meter Read By Utility i.e. Schedule meter read type(ablesart)as '01' and same is copied in Meter Read Type (ISTABLART) & Meter Read Category(ABLESTYP). There is no way you can change this behavior using configuration.

Best you can do

Validate this behavior: Go to EL28-->Go to-->Set BP-->OPEN_SUB(Data Collection REABLD etc. (Fill Remaining Object Data)) .

FM used to fill the data: ISU_O_METERREAD_OPEN_SUBOBJ. Perhaps you need to enhance this FM for your requirement. This FM fills the screen with default values.

If you find any other way, please share

Thanks,
