Customize ESS screen make a field mandatory

[Former Member]

I have to customize one ESS screen called "Eligible Dependents" which has SSN field there. The field is configured to be mandatory but system only checks whether it is valid format or not. When user leaves it blank it still passes the validation. Now the question is where can I put the code in that component to validate the SSN field not blank. the component is a part of a roadmap. I still have no clue yet. Thanks!

This can be done by changing the config at the backed ie R/3 system. No need to change the Java code.

Try it in r/3 config table V_T588MFPROPC

Hi Anthony,

I'm a begginer of ESS, so I ask you how can I modify Web Dynpro Java ESS ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm new too! basically you put the code in the onEvent of the component controller and if the portal event REVIEW happen you validate the input here. Thanks!
