Mandatory field - business area

[Former Member]

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this?

For transaction F.02, FB50 and MIRO is it possible to make the business area mandatory?

If so could someone please help me?

Thanks.

you need to define at Company Code level if Financial Statements require BA's

Enable Business Area Balance sheet on OB65.

I want the fields to be mandatory on the screens....

I was thinking it would be done in SPRO?

Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Line Item -> Controls

Maintain Field Status Variants

I am just wondering which area do I need to chose to make it mandatory for the screens mentioned in my original post

e.g. is it g001 or g002 etc etc?

Is there an easy way to determine this?

Thanks

In the field status groups, in additional account assignments Business Area can be defined as required. But company code specifc settings as already mentioned have to maintained.

use FS00 click on create/bank/interest tab, here you can find the Field status group field.

if you want restrict field in transaction level use validation rule, so you can put the required the business area only fot the transactions F-02, FB50 and MIRO

if you are using the field status group it will controll the all transactions.

as per as my knowledge validation is best option to your problem

assign points if you find useful
