The objective of this blog post is to explain the mandatory fields check in virtual data sources in SAP Business ByDesign.
When using OData services and ODP for the extraction of accounting data, correct and consistent results depend on the right selection of certain parameters as for example the combination of company and set of books. We now provide the possibility to activate a check of mandatory fields in the selection parameters. This not only defines which fields are mandatory, but also how to select them.
As soon as the feature is activated, the system issues meaningful error messages, such as “A filter is required on property Company” instead of simply canceling the program or provide an empty result as before. In addition, the system checks, if “Single Value Selection”, “Multiple Value Selection” and “Interval Selection” in the value selection is allowed, depending on whether single values or value ranges are allowed for a selection parameter.

A ticket must be created to request the activation of the check for the following data sources:
