FPM - Validate Incorrect value entered in client specific custom fields

[Former Member]

Dear All,

As part of client requirement, we have added few custom fields in "Standard Table - EHHSSD_INC_BINFA" using extension include provided by SAP. Now we were able to get those added fields in the enhanced component configuration and made them as Input field type.

Now when the end user fills any wrong value in any of these custom fields and then clicks on "Send" Button of "Report Incident Simplified" means we need to show an error message and stop this Incident from getting "Saved".

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hello Rajesh,

The so called validation of fields is usually done through the data dictionary. Therefore the most straightforward way would be to have a domain with either a fixed value input or a check table assigned to the corresponding data element. Therefore for each field an own data element with possibly an own domain should be utilized.

If you only do have text input fields, this does not help much. You would therefore want to change the type of the input field in the component configuration. Another way would be to have an explicit search help assigned to the field in the component configuration.

The whole validation is a bit hard to answer in generic terms, since it is dependent on the definition of wrong for a specific input field.

Additionally you may need to add a profile for the field control of the specific node in order to make some of these new fields mandatory.
