marking fields as mandatory in VF01 transaction

0 Kudos

Hi Friends,

Please refer to the below screen shot - we are posting the final billing to customer in SAP (post outbound delivery).

Here we use the available fields under Foreign Trade/Customs tab - to mention details of shipping line & vessel name (it is fetched on output form).

My question is can these fields be marked as mandatory, as many times users tend to miss filling these fields.

    

The fields we want to mark as mandatory are "Transport-Departure" under Handling tab;

"Office of Exit" & "Export customs off." under Geography tab;

"Description" under Comments tab;

Kindly advise.

Instead of trying to set the fields as mandatory via user exit for billing, better try with incompletion log for sale order and delivery.  You cannot set incompletion log for billing.

You can also achieve your requirement through transaction variant for vf01.

Tcode for transaction variant is shd0.

Hello,

you can maintain incompletion log for foreign trade data.
See the SAP note 173411.

Did you try opening the note in SAP Service portal by searching for that note number? I hope you do have the log on details to see notes.

Hi,

As per your requirement you need to make mandatory for some data corresponding to Foreign trade/Customs data in Billing Transaction

It is possible if you recheck the Foreign Trade/Customs data functionality of Sales .

Check for incompletenes schemas for Foreign Trade data and customize according to your requirement.

Check and revert for clarifications.

I would think that the For Trade/ Customs data would typically flow from the corresponding delivery. As suggested above, the best way to ensure that it is entered in the Billing document is to Systematically ensure that it is entered at the delivery level using the incompletion log technique or it could also be done by a training process to the user.

Thanks,

Thanks for the input Ravin.

I presume we need to set the copy control feature as "ON" for Foreign Trade/Customs from Outbound Delivery (VL01N) to Billing (VF01)

So as to ensure the data entered in Delivery (as suggested by you) gets copied to Billing part.

Anusha
