Processing of Field Selection String

Use

This function enables you to replace the field selection of Funds Management master data (commitment item, funds center and fund) delivered in the standard system by a customer-specific field selection.

With this function you can

Hide fields from functions that are not needed

Determine fields as display fields

Determine entry fields as required or optional entries

By determining a customer-specific field selection, you can reconcile the master data fields of your FM area more clearly and efficiently to your own requirements.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

With the enhancement FMMD0017 you can fill the commitment item fields with standard values.

Features

You determine the customer-specific field selection for each master data type (commitment item, funds center, fund) and assign them to the FM area.

For each master data type in the respective IMG activity you obtain:

a. an overview of the selection field that SAP delivers with the standard system

b. which characteristic values are allowed for a field in the master record

Characteristic Value	Effect in the master record
Hide	The field is no longer displayed in the master record.
Display	The field is displayed in the master record; you are not allowed to make an entry or the existing entries cannot be changed.
Optional entry	The field is ready for input and can be changed. Input is optional.
Required entry	The field is ready for input and can be changed. Input is mandatory.

By assigning the defined field selection string of a master data type to an FM area, the standard field selection delivered by SAP is replaced by your customer-specific field selection.

Activities

You make the field selection settings in Customizing of Funds Management Government, under Master Data → Edit Field Selection
