The main purpose of the field status variant is to defining the screen templates for the users to process the business transactions in real time. The requirement of the input levels is different for different business transactions. Accordingly sap already preconfigured the screen outlays. We can copy them and change the name of variant as we required. Here I request the jr.consultants to go for copy function rather than creation. Select the fsty 0001 select the copy as button and change the code as you require. Here I have changed the variant as 2006. (While copying the variant the system asks to copy all and only entry. I request you to select the button copy all. Then the system prompts one pop up box with the message all dependant entries 41 coped.) the field status variant is defined at client level. We can use any of the field status variant. However, we need to ensure the status of various fields before assigning to our company code. There are 41 field status groups. In finance module we use 5 or 6 groups only those are as under
- 1. G001
- 2. G005
- 3. G029.
- 4. G067.
The remaining groups are used in other modules functionalities requirements. Select the variant and double click (on right side) field status groups, system displays all 41 groups. Double click on the G001 group and there are 10 subs groups and double click on the any of the sub group and see the status of the fields. You can change the status of the fields as per the requirement of the client. The status of the fields is three types.1. Suppressed 2.Optional 3. Required.
Suppressed: if any field is suppressed it will not at all appear for end user screen Optional: if the field is optional, it will appear on the screen for the end user but the keying the data is optional
Required: if any field is said to be required the system will prompt for keying the related data while processing the transaction by the end user. You can make filed status settings as per the requirement for the project, but we must doubly ensure while setting any field as required entry. The required entry status stops the end user to input the relevant information while processing the documents. The screen shot of the fstv is as under:
Note: you are requested to take up all the groups which are mainly used fin module do the same process and ensure no fields are set as required entry. The exception is the G005 the Value date is defaulted as required entry. Keep that as it's only.
