You can achieve the same using restriction of characteristic in Filter.Restrict it with <> blank.If user try to enter value system will display message.

Hi Indu,

Can you elaborate more how and where the restriction in filter can be added.Because the characteristics field which is to be validated is the  user entry field added through appending a new record in planning folder by add new button.

Thanks in Advanced

Restrict it in Planning package for the char, so system will not allow incorrect value to be written back.

Hi,

My query is the same characteristic field is used in both the header as well as planning field(add new row), so I want to validate only for the planning field and not the header one.Even if the header is empty its fine because we can get data through other header fields.

Thank you.
