Field modification activity

In this step you can define:

  • which fields are ready for input, which are hidden and which fields the user is required to fill when creating or changing business partner data.
  • which fields are displayed or hidden when the user displays business partner data.

Example

You want the reconciliation account to be entered when the business partner is created and to be unchangeable thereafter. However, you do not want to be able to see the sort key.

To do this, set the field group 10 (reconciliation account) as a required field for partner creation and as a display field for changing or displaying partner data.

Set field group 11 (sort key) as hidden for creating, changing and displaying partner data.

Standard settings

In the standard settings all fields are set as optional for creating and changing data, except for the following: field groups 300, 302, 320, 324, and 350 are set as required fields and field groups 422-430 and 433-438 are set as hidden fields.

For the display mode all fields are set to display except for field groups 422-420 and 433-438 which are set as hidden fields.

Activities

  1. Select one of the activities create, change or display.
  2. Select field modification.
  3. Enter your settings.
  4. Save your entries.

Further notes

It is not possible to control all field groups via the activity.

Make sure that your entries match the settings for the customer account groups assigned under the menu item 'Define business partner groupings'.

You can enter the relevant settings for the customer account groups in customizing under

  • Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Records --> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records --> Define account groups for customers
  • Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Records --> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records --> Create number ranges for customer accounts
  • Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Records --> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records --> Allocate number ranges to customer account groups

Field modification role categories

At this stage you can determine which individual business partner role category fields are ready for input, which are hidden or which are required.

Example

You want the fields 'bank country' and 'bank key' to be ready for input for partners in the roles of depositary bank and payment bank. For the role of payment bank they should also be required fields.

To do this, set the field group 180 (bank country, bank key) as an optional field for the role of depositary bank and as a required field for the role of payment bank.

If you now create a business partner in the role of depositary bank, the fields 'bank country' and 'bank key' will be ready for input. If you also assign the role of payment bank to this partner, both fields will automatically become required fields.

Requirements

You need to define the role-view allocation before you can maintain the field modification for role categories.

Standard settings

In the standard settings all fields are set as optional.

Activities

  1. Select a role category.
  2. Select field modification.
  3. Enter your settings.
  4. Save your entries.
