How to make Attribute 3 (KNA1/KATR3) in customer master a mandatory field for a specific account group

[former_member182609]

I am not able to find to make Attribute 3 filed mandatory in configuration.You can do this user exit ,Insert logic based on account group if there is no entry in Attribute 3 field then through error  'Attribute 3 field mandatory ' .Or check with security team if they can do using authorisation roles.

Hello Jebaraj,

Try to change the field status for required account groups.

Use following configuration.

SPRO: Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparation for Creating Customer Master Data -> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers).

Hi everyone, Issue resolved

BADI: CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA

Method: CHECK_ALL_DATA

While saving, this method will be hit. We need to check for KNA1-KTOKD = ‘XXXX’, if yes, then check if KNA1-KATR3 is blank.

If it is blank, then display the error message ‘Attribute 3 has to be maintained for XXXX in Additional Data’
