Create Expense Report how do you make field 'Start Location' mandatory

[former_member52420]

Hi

We are using travel expenses within ESS and we wish to make the field 'Start location' mandatory. This field is on the mileage screen.

I have checked portal config and when you preview the iview and control/right click there is the option to make this field mandatory however this does not work.

I have checked the IMG config 'Schema and Field Control for the trip schema we are using but when I select the field 'PTRV_UTIL_KMVER-LOC_FROM' and select 'Alternative Display Type' the option 'Entry in field is required' does not become available for use.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Many thanks

As well as doing settings in the table one had to go to the IMG and within ESS settings for travel manager change the settings in the Schema and Single Field Control for Web Dynpro. As once the table entries are made is allows the setting to be made in the IMG. However, the mandatory asterix does not appear in portal but error messages do if the field is not populated - problem solved.

Hi Julie,

You have modify the table T706Z1 to make both of this fields mandatory, this is the only

way to make the field mandatory. In standard system the fields

PTRV_UTIL_KMVER-LOC_FROM and PTRV_UTIL_KMVER-LOC_TO cannot be set to

mandatory. In this case you have to do some additional settings in the

in the table PTRV_T706Z_FLDS (se16):

PROG: PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE

DYNNR: 1800

RDYNNR: WEBE

Hi Raynard

Many thanks for your quick response. I have made entries as follows in our development system ECC6:

Table V_T706Z

Screen = 1800

Field Name = PTRV_UTIL_KMVER-LOC_TO

Field Attribute = + Entry possible, mandatory

and

SE16N

Table = PTRV_T706Z_FLDS

Program name = PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE

Screen = 1800

RDYNNR = WEBE

Field name = PTRV_UTIL_KMVER-LOC_TO

Entry already existed so just added in column entries that '0' (required)

I have also made the field mandatory at iview level.

Still the field is not shown as mandatory. I have searched SAP notes but cannot find any recent notes on this issue. Have I missed doing something?

Many thanks

Julie
