New fields in customer master data with indicator:field must be entered

[Former Member]

Hello to all.

We are creating new field in a append structure of table KNA1.

Is it possible put these new fields in one select group so we can control if the fields is compulsory or optional from customising menu: business partner\customer\control\Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Customers?

Thanks in advance

t-code BPMDGD create new tab

Create Tab Layouts for General Data

Because of the large number of fields that it contains, the customer master is divided into three views:

General data

General data for customers

General data for consumers

Sales area data

Company code data

In this IMG activity, you can define how tabs for these views are laid out. You can specify which tab pages appear on tabs. For each tab, you can specify which group boxes appear in which position on tab pages.

Note

Any group boxes that contain required entry fields must appear on a tab in a master record.

1. Create a layout for a new tab :

Enter a name and description for the new tab layout (New entries).

Enter the keys and titles for the tab pages to be used, and specify the position of each tab page (New entries).

The maximum number of tab pages in a tab is ten.

For each tab page, specify the group boxes that should appear, and the positions in which they should appear (New entries).

The maximum number of group boxes allowed on a tab page is seven. A group box can only appear once on a tab.

2. Choose System -> User profile -> Own data to assign the name (Value) of a new tab layout to the relevant parameter:

Debitor_layout_gd for general data for customers

Debitor_layout_cs for general data for consumes

Debitor_layout_sd for sales area data

Debitor_layout_fi for company code data

Standard Settings

SAP supplies standard tab layouts containing all group boxes. The standard tab layouts are automatically assigned to the relevant user parameter and appear as default tabs for customer master data maintenance.

Note

In new tab layouts that you create for maintaining general data, you must create the first tab page exactly the same as the first tab page in the SAP standard tab layout for general data maintenance.

Thanks for the reply.

I´ve already made all the steps that you mentioned.

The question is how I can put a new field included in the new tab created as compulsory when a new customer is being created.

Hello to all

We got to make the new fields in customer master data as compulsory with creating new regs in tables TMODO, TMODU and TMODP and add code in the program that controls the dynpro where new fields are included.

Thanks for all
