You can do the field settings(optional,mandatory,suppresed) at the time of account group creation -

t code OBD2

Click on general data/company code data or sales data. click edit field and thr u can set all the fields(mandatory,suppressed,optional)

Good luck!

Hello,

Country Key is mandatroy while defining a customer master. You can't supress the same or change the properties through OBD2. Check with your ABAP expert and findout, how the code controls the same.

Dear Jim,

You cannot create Customer Customer code without Country key.

This is mandatory in SAP standard & you cannot change it. Because without Country key many determinations (like Tax, export data) cannot b e determined & Customer Master Record is of no use.

Thus you will have to enter Country key while creating a Customers.

Hope this helps,

Give points if useful...

Thanks,

Hi

I think By OBD2 and OB20 it is not possible

T think it is a hard coded control in the standard itself

See if you dont maintain Country in CMR the tax determination and many other related things become a problem

Countries are defined in IMG ,netweaver,general settings,set countries

Without country CMR is good for nothing Logically so it cant be a optional field

Mr Murali

Your option is not there in OBD2

Dear Kelly,

Go to OBD2 transaction then select your account group then go in to the detail through click on Mirror icon then double click on General data again doubl eclik on Adress now system will give all fields in the adress tab here you change the Radio button of the Country field from Req.Entry to Opt.Entry then save the changes.

I hope this will help you,
