how to define the field "profit center" mandatory in CO01?

[Former Member]

We need to have the field "profit center" (AUFK_PRCTR) mandatory either if the production order is creating (CO01) or changing (CO02) or latest if the first confirmation is creating (CO11).

Is that possible and how?

Thanks in advance for some suggestions!

Dear jeannette,

You can use transaction variant with transaction SHD0.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm

In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.

To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).

Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).

To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Naveen.
