Field Selection

In this section, you Define whether a field is hidden or displayed, or whether an entry is mandatory or optional in material master maintenance by assigning the field to a field selection group.

Field selection group:

Group of several fields to which the same field option applies. The field options are as follows:
•    Hide
•    Display
•    Required entry
•    Optional entry

Each field selection group has a number between 1 and 240. User defined groups are numbered from 210 onwards.

Assign Fields to Field Selection Groups:

To define whether a field is hidden or displayed, or whether an entry is mandatory or optional in material master maintenance, you must assign the field to a field selection group. You may assign a field to one field selection group only.

For example the field Purchasing Group is to be mandatory. The field is MARC-EKGRP. The field selection group is 214. This group controls the field EKGRP and the case when it is to be made mandatory/ optional for entry etc.

 The field reference ROH is the field reference as maintained in the attributes of Material Type ROH. By selecting the option “Reqd Entry” for these Field References, the fields are made mandatory for all materials of type which have the reference as ROH.
