Documentation

Definition

In this field you have to define the validation (if validation will not take place using value tables).

There are three different cases:

• Validation using an exit routine. You specify the exit in the form =nn, where n stands for a number. The exit routine itself is stored in program SAPLGUMD.
• Validation with a user exit routine. You specify this exit in the form =Unn, where n stands for a number. In this case, the exit routine itself is defined using CMOD/SMOD.
  For further details, see the documentation for enhancement GLX_MD01 (transaction SMOD).
• Validation against an FI-SL master data table. These tables have a structure like in T830A. However, you have to define the tables in the DDIC beforehand, using T830A as a reference table.
  After defining the tables, you must enter the tables in T800A with type CM and CT.
  FI-SL Configuration menu: Environment -> Table directory
  You then have to start program RGBCFL00, selecting the 'Access to integr. master data' option.
  You can maintain the tables in the FI-SL menu under Environment -> Integr. master data -> Create, Change,....

Note

Before you define a new exit or perform a validation using an FI-SL master data table, first check to see whether a suitable exit already exists for the field in question by pressing F4 in the Exit/ Table field.
If a suitable exit has not been defined, check to see whether validation using a value table would also be possible.
