Field Status Group

Thanks for your patient! Some weeks after my last post, today I am talking briefly about the “Field Status Group”.

The FSG determines the fields to be entered in a document during the posting process. With the proper use of the FSG you could decide the mandatory, optional or hidden fields during the process.

The screen where you are entering data will reflect exactly your decision of hide or not, set as mandatory or not, the defined process.

The path in customizing to set the FSG is:
