Enabling an FM field

[Former Member]

Hi all

I am trying to enable a field in the funds commitment transaction - this field is visible on the screen but is disabled.

I looked into the field status groups and field status variants but I can't seem to see the actual field list and the option to enable or disable them. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi, what field are you trying to add?

The 'overall amount' in the fmx1 transaction.

Thanks.

Hello

Overall amount field is calculated by the system, depending on your settings for value adjustments.

See the online help here:

Funds Management-Specific Postings

Earmarked Funds and Funds Transfers

Processing Earmarked Funds

Changing Earmarked Funds

and

Value Adjustments for Earmarked Funds

So I don't think you can customize it...

But how come it is enabled in two of the other clients we have?

Hi again Mar,

One more thing. When i go to FM->FM-specific postings->earmarked funds and fund transfer->field control for earmarked funds and fund transfer.

In this section, i do see field status groups, field status variant relevant for our client and these have been assigned to the right company code. So i presume whoever did config set these up - my question is i cannot seem to find the field list of the fields that have been enabled/disabled/hidden under these field status groups or variants. If this setting is not customizable,, then why would someone even have created field status groups and variants?

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hi, I meant 'overall amount' field only.

Do you mean that this field is ready for input in your other clients?

[Former Member]

That is correct. When i click on fmx1 in other clients, the overall amount field is enabled.

Thanks.

Hi,

The control is in configuration FM > FM Specific Postings > Earmarked Funds and Funds Transfer > Maintain Global Settings. The box ' Value adjustment docs required' controls whether 'Overall amount' is open or not.

Minghong,

Thank you so much! You were correct - that value adjustment check box was the difference.

Issue resolved.

Thanks to all of you.

Mar,

Sorry - i think i looked at your link without carefully reading the rest of your email. You are correct - you said the same thing as well. I have added points for you as well.

Thanks a lot.
