"Input options" tab
/WMD/BC_SPRO → xSuite Business Solutions → Interface → Define Record Types
Notice
The Input Field Options tab is obsolete and exists only to ensure consistency with older xSuite versions.
Therefore, make the settings for the fields and columns in the respective field catalogs, see, for example, "Invoice: Field-Catalog Header Data" activity.
In the Input options tab it is possible to set certain fields or columns to Read only, to declare them as mandatory fields, or to hide them. When one option has been selected, the others will be excluded. Mandatory fields will also be included in automatic parking. If a mandatory field is not prepopulated by the document extraction, the automatic pre-capture will be aborted.
Each tab of the header data has a unique name. Enter this name into the first column of the table.
Tab | Name (screen) |
|---|---|
Basic data |
|
Payment |
|
Details |
|
Info |
|
AddInf |
|
Now specify the respective field name. To determine this name, click in the field and press F1.
Once you know the name of the field, select the required option (Invisible, Read only, or Mandatory field) in record-type customizing. The options are mutually exclusive, so you can only select one of the three options. Please note that the mandatory fields are queried via the program /WMD/FP_INVB during automatic parking. If a mandatory field arrives blank when the document is read, the preliminary entry will be canceled and the document provided with an error text.
In addition to the header fields, you can also assign options to the columns of the item lines and the account assignment. To do so, specify a value in the form ITEMS_XXX in the first column of the input options instead of HEAD_XXX:
Table | Unique name |
|---|---|
Down payment request line items |
|
FI invoice line items |
|
MM invoice line items (Purchase Order reference tab) |
|
MM invoice line items (G/L Account tab) |
|
MM invoice line items (Material tab) |
|
Account assignment line items (MM) |
|
Notice
With FI documents, dependencies might occur, making it impossible to park an invoice. For example, assigning a cost center to a field that is not ready for input will yield unpredictable documents. Mandatory fields that must not be filled in for certain constellations might also lead to conflicts. The same applies to MM documents, whereby another special feature must be taken into account: Options may not be set for all visible item fields of the PO reference tab. This is only permitted for the fields WRBTR, MENGE, MEINS, EBELN, EBELP, MWSKZ, XBLNR, LFBNR, LFPOS, LFGJA, and LBLNI.
