WBS field to be mandatory

[Former Member]

I want WBS field to be mandatory at the time of creation on order in location tab

I make the field mandatory in Field setting of PM order but  I have to click on location tab to get the Mandatory.

It should not allow to save the order to the user even until and unless he does not input WBS in the Field.

Regards

Hello SANDEEP,

Somehow I missed this thread. It is one of the disadvantages in checks through Configuration setting. So the remedy, (as Paul mentioned) is user-exit IWO10009. Put the following simple code in the include ZXWOCU07 of this exit and your job is done.

IF caufvd_imp-proid IS INITIAL.
   MESSAGE 'WBS field in the Location tab can not be empty.' TYPE 'E' DISPLAY LIKE 'I'.
 ENDIF.

When user tries to Create/Save the Order without filling WBS field of Location tab, then it throws the following error.

If you want to limit this condition to a particular Order type say PM03, then the code becomes:

IF caufvd_imp-auart = 'PM03' AND caufvd_imp-proid IS INITIAL.
   MESSAGE 'WBS field in the Location tab can not be empty.' TYPE 'E' DISPLAY LIKE 'I'.
 ENDIF.

Good luck

Hi,

The mandatory field check will only function on the active tab. Some fields may have built in mandatory check but for fields set through customizing it is necessary to click on the relevant tab. An option is to use a user exit to verify a value has been set and reject saving if not. Exit IWO10009 can be used for this.

Alternatively use exit IWO10010 to set a default WBS value.
