In this step, you define the field selection for the requests. To do so, you define field selection strings. By defining different field selection strings you can individually control the document entry for individual FI document types and in doing so also control individual request types (for example, payment request, clearing request).

Requirements

If you want to format the field selection differently for individual request type, you must observe the following:

  • Which FI document type is assigned to the individual request types in step Assign Request Category to FI Document Type?
    If the FI document type, for example, does not allow an asset posting in the payment request, the field Asset may not be indicated as a an optional entry or required entry.
  • Which fields must appear because of the request type and which don´t?
    The fields Customer and Vendor, for example, must be hidden in the clearing request.
  • Which settings have you maintained in section Maintain Global Settings?
    If you do not use the revenue type function, for example, field Revenue type must be hidden in all requests.

Standard settings

SAP does not provide any field selection strings in the standard.

If you do not define any field selection strings, all fields in the request entry screens will be ready for input.

Fields for the proposed values (such as customer, earmarked fund) are always ready for input in the intial screens of the request. The settings in the field selection string are not considered there.

The required entry field check is only performed directly in the individual request screen. In all other cases, the required entry field check is not performed until the request check is performed.

Activities

  1. Determine which fields in the entry screens during the entry of a request
    • are to be ready for input
    • must be filled
    • should be hidden
    • are to be displayed
  2. Using New entries create a field selection string and choose Maintain field status for field selection string.
    The field status for all fields is in green. The text fields are preassigned with field status "Proposed", all other fields have status "Optional entry".
  3. Choose the desired field tatus for each field.
    By specifying a request type in field Proposed, you can display which field status is required for the individual fields for the individual request types.
  4. In the following step Assign field selection string, assign the field selection string to a company code variant and FI document type.

Further notes

To avoid inconsistencies with FI field control, you should indicate that all fields that are used in the field control of requests as optional entries in the FI field control.
If, for example, the field Item text is indicated as a required entry in FI field control, but was hidden in the field control for the requests, the posting or "complete" setting of a request is not possible.
See Define Field Status Variants for more information about field control in FI.

The tax commitment item is an exception in field control: If the tax update does not require a tax commitment item, (VAT separately), possible setting concerning tax items in the request will be ignored. See section Make Other Settings for more information on tax display.
