Understanding Field Status Groups for GL Accounts

[Former Member]

Hello,

Does anybody have any good resources for understanding the implications of the various settings and combinations for the field status group settings? There are a total of 70 fields in total across 9 different groups and it can be fairly complex trying to analyze and explain them back to my current client.

Hi

The field status group determines which fields are ready for input, which are required entry fields, and which are hidden during document entry. Bear in mind that additional account assignments (i.e. cost centers or orders) are only possible if data can be entered in the corresponding fields.

FSG is specific to GL Account. If you need any additional field select it as required and then assign the FSG to GL account at TCode FS00

If you do not need any field keep the field suppressed. Check at TCode OBC4 for FSG
