Retail related fields in Material Master to be made optional in ECC 6.

Hello All,

We are upgrading from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0 in the current system the Field Selection Group 200 we have only 1 field MARA-SPART assigned and it is a mandatory field for some of the Field References.

But in ECC 6.0, this Field Selection Group 200 contains MARA-BRAND_ID, MARA-BSTAT, MARA-FASHGRD, MARA-FREE_CHAR and MBEW-SPART. Now all these fields have become mandatory for the earlier Field references. But the requirement is to have only MBEW-SPART to be mandatory and rest others can be made optional. But the settings in OMS9 can be done only for the Field Selection Group as a whole and not at the individual field level.

Please share your inputs if you have faced similar situation earlier.

Regards,
