SAP CHARM - Making Category Field mandatory while creating Change request

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

I would like to know how can we make the field "Category" mandatory while creating a change request in SAP charm.

So whenever a user does not fill this field with some value , it should give an error message saying " fill category field",soething which already happens for "Subject" in standard behaviour.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Jagadish.

Hi Jagadish,

Actually, this is quite simple.

You can use tcode SHD0 (zero, not a letter) to apply variants.

Access this transaction and input transaction CRMD_ORDER. Then type in a screen variant name and click create. You will now enter a recording mode. Untick "copy" for all screens until you get to the screen which say category. Make this mandatory (there's a check box) and then click Save & Exit.

Once you have done this you need to go to customising (SPRO) and assign the variant.

Do a search on "Transaction variant" in SPRO and that should find it. Assign your CR (ie. ZDCR) and then type in the screen variant name that you chose.

Good luck

Hi All,

Finally i used a raw method of making category field mandatory with screen painter by making the field required so that it won't allow without putting the values.

If you want to do this through config, you may be able to implement CRM incompleteness procedures for this requirement.

Else you can try ABAP screen variants or modifications to the screen.

Best,
