Hi Fayaz,

You can make it mandatory by Field selection of Oder for Location & Account Assignment data. as below.

Before:

Configuration to field mandatory

After Configuration

But this functionality will not Work untill unless you will go to Location Tab of Order.

For Customize warning for mandatory fields You have to work with Technical Consultants.

For this Follow Jogeswara Rao K Sir. post

Thanks,

Rakesh

• It was discussed many times in the past that Mandatory settings through the SPRO tcode OIAZ for inside tab Location will work only when the user enters that tab.
• When the user saves the Order without entering the Location tab, system will not stop you and the Order will be created without Cost Center.
• For this reason, we will have to take help of user-exit for these requirements.
• For Functional location field the mandatory settings through spro tcode OIAN will work, because the field is in HeaderData tab.
• If it is the requirement of Resp Cost center field in the Additional Data tab then we have compulsorily go for user-exit
• When we are having to go for user-exit because of Cost Center field/s, we can have Functional Location field mandatory there itself with the code I provided.

Just for information to save Time and Efforts.
