Hi everybody,
7 years later I'm confronted with the same challenge as Kevin. I need to display the field SORTL - Search Term in the contact person maintenance screens (VAP1 and 2) for optional entries.
The answers on this page - so far - only show how to maintain field status for customers (XD01 and 2), but NOT for contacts in traqnsaction VAP1 and 2.
So: does anybody have a clue how to make the field available for maintenance? Currently it's only displayed / maintainable if it has content already (e.g. from data migration).
So long,
Jens
Can u elaborate the requirement pls

Hi Kevin and Rajendran
You can achieve this requirement while configuring "Account Group " for the Customer Master Data.

Dear Kevin,
The above shown path is the 1 to configure the field control while creating customer master data ,
Once again , i am sending you the detail.
Menu Path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Logistics General -> Business Partner -> Customers -> Control ]
Step 1. - The control is defined at the customer account group level. So for a customer type of Sold-to – 0001 , the fields can be customized. Select the Customer Account Group. In this case we have selected the 0001 – Sold-to Party.
Step 2. - A customer master in standard R/3 can have multiple views – General view, company code view and the sales view. Double click on the corresponding text in the Field status tab to customize the specific view.
Step 4. - Fields in the customer master data are grouped into “Status Groups” or “Field Status Groups” . For example, the Address group contains all the fields related to the address data like the name, street name, zip code etc. Select the right field status group.
Step 5 .- Each field can have any of the following 4 statuses – These statuses are self-descriptive.
DEMO
Here is an example of the customer master “Name” field for the standard customer account group 0001- Sold to party. The little check mark in the name field signifies that the field is indeed mandatory.
Now change the radio button of the first field ( Name 1/Last name ) to Opt. entry.
If you create a new customer now, you can see that the name of the customer will be optional ( As is evident by the lack of the check mark in the Name field )
Hope, this will fulfill your requirement.
