ESS: Address Make Telephone required field

[Former Member]

Hello ,

I was trying make Telephone Number as required field in ESS - Webdynpro application,

but i could not find the exact place. I was looking at the following DC: ess/per

ess/us/addr, i just found the following code:

fpm.raiseReviewAndSaveEvent(IFPM.EVENT_REVIEW, IFPM.EVENT_SAVE, thisVAC);

I changed the field as required also if the use clicks review then i should display message if the telephone number is not entered.

If anyone have any input on this highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

You have the detail component for address name VcPerAddressUSDetail.

Mark the layout view of telephone as property STATE=required

Go to component controller and write the following code inside the function onFlush.

You can see the line wdThis.wdGetFcPerAddressUSInterface().modifyRecord(); below of this function.

public void onFlush( )

{

String TelNumber=wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().getTelnr();

if (TelNumber== null || TelNumber.equals("")){

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Please enter the telephone number");

}

else

wdThis.wdGetFcPerAddressUSInterface().modifyRecord();

}

Hope this will resolve your problem

Thanks

Hi Vijay

It is very simple to make Mandatory.

1) At webdynpro UI element (Telphone) if you change the property to required only "Star" mark will come.But it not it not acts mandatory.

2) To make mandatory go to backend acceess following table : "V_T588MFPROPC" using sm30. with infotype ="0006"

Make entry ; Version means "Coutry Group" , Subtypr for Emergency Contact "004" , struktur "P006"

Fileld Name : "TELNR" , check the first check box i.e "Musseingabe" to make mandatory.

Many cases it will work if not works same repeat in "V_T588MFPROPS' table.

Hi Vijay

Thanks for your input. It even works for ESS WDA EhP6. Just for the community informed.

Hi VJ,

If you are talking about the telephone field in the Personal Information screen in ESS, you can do this in the config. Under Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Customizing Procedures -> Infotypes -> Infotypes in the Detached Infotype Framework -> Customer: Define Field Characteristics.

It's just a single table entry.

Hi Vijay,

If you are customizing the ESS Webdynpro application here is a good document on how to add validations to input fields in a form.

[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60db527d-7be4-2a10-0283-e915cfb179a8]

Follow this document to add validations to your screen. To add that red * next to the input field set the state of the inputfield to Required.
