      Hi Anu

      You can acheive the same by setting a variant with attributes of mandatory fields.

      For this you can follow below steps:

      1. Go to transaction SQ01. Go in change mode of the query.

      2. In the initial screen, Under special Attributes you will find <b>Standard Variant</b>, Execute only with variant checkbox. Tick the checkbox. By default the value for Standard Variant is <b>CUS&STANDARD</b>.

      3. Now execute.

      4. In the selection screen, Click on Save button as you are saving a variant of report.

      5. In the next screen: Select the checkboxes in the last column for all parameters that you want to make mandatory.

      6. Now save the variant.

      7. Go back and start afresh executing the query from SQ01.

      You will find the fields as mandatory for which you have set.

      Hope this helps you.

      Also kindly note to close your thread when completely solved by the replies or even by yourself.

      Kind Regards
