Mandatory/Optional field configuration for PD infotypes

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to make the country, city & postal code fields on infotype 1028 (address) as optional.

These fields show up with Module Pool: MP102800 and Screen # 2300.

However, I cannot find the way to go in to change this configuration.

Does anyone know the screen modifications path/tcode for PD objects?

Any leads would help.

Thanks.

Shivani.

hi,

Go to SPRO

Personnel Management - Personnel Administration - customizing user interfaces - change screen modifications

select your module pool and screen no. and click on display where you will get RF (Required field) and OF (Optional field).

If this resolves your problem, then kindly award with points.

All the best,

Hi Santosh,

This method works only for PA infotypes. I am looking for a similar solution for PD infotypes.

Thanks anyways.

Hi Shivani,

Trying to maintain a PD object using detail maintenance (transaction code PP01). You will get an error message saying u201Cu2026 cannot be maintained via u2026u201D.

It is probable that the checkbox u201Cno maintenanceu201D has been ticked on table T77CD. Uncheck the tick. This table is specific to each infotype and each object type within the infotype.

As an example, you may wish to modify qualifications in PP01. Double click on IT 1000 and then look at the entry for Q.

Also look at table T777I. This holds details such as the no maintenance flag at the infotype level. So if IT 1000 is in this table with "no maintenance" ticked then this will apply to all objects on IT 1000.

Reply back if this is the ans you are looking for and tell if it works

Hi Pallavi,

Thanks for these inputs, however, my requirement is to mark certian fields inside an infotype as optional.

The table T777I will control the maintenance of infotypes itself through detail maintenance,

but how do I change a particular field, example zip code on the address infotype of object F (Location)?

Will keep searching for a solution.

Thanks.
