How to remove standard Field Validation (Field Property) in MDG UI ?

[shashankkasar]

HI All,

My requirement is to remove the mandatory field validation from few of the field in the MDG UI while creating Company data.

I checked DM leve, UI level. but of no use. I even tried to alter in feeder class but the validation couldn't be overwritten (only * symbol is removed). Please help.

Hi Shashank,

it is not recommended to remove such validation because there is a high risk that you create inconsistent data. MDG offers several options on step level to allow the continuation of the process w/o entering all data - this includes the option to issue "errors as warning" or to disable the "reuse area check" for steps prior to final approval. If some fields are not required at all you can take them out of governance scope.

Also backend configuration may introduce additional mandatory fields that are not defined via MDG data model - then you may alter those. This is typically domain specific and handled different for Material, BP or Finance.

Those checks have been introduced for good reasons.So if the configuration options of MDG or backend do not allow to alter them, you should not try this via modifying the delivered Data Models, UIs or feeder classes.

Make sure to try via configuration, if not possible then try challenge the need for such severe changes - at the end customer will not be happy when having inconsistent data or not getting support for such modifications.

Thank you Ingo.

I found the solution to be little tricky to meet the requirement. I handled the standard field validations in the Check validation BAdi. I agree with your point, we should not play around the standard field validations since they are directly linked with the ERP tables. So, in my case, those were alright to do that. Thanks again.
