Incompleteness Check 

Use

The incompleteness check determines whether all the relevant fields in a delivery document are filled so that it can be further processed in the system.

Integration

The incompleteness check uses the logical field names assigned to the system profile of the field control.

Features

Mandatory fields

Every input and output field that must be filled to be able to further process a document is a mandatory field. A mandatory field is defined by a logical field name in the system. Every logical field name that represents a mandatory field is assigned an action. Every time this action is executed, the corresponding field is automatically checked for completeness.

Incompleteness profile

The settings for the incompleteness check are saved in an incompleteness profile. The incompleteness profile is assigned to the document and item types. When accessing the incompleteness check, the system determines the assigned completeness profile via the document and item types and therefore the corresponding settings for the mandatory fields.

SAP delivers predefined logical field names and incompleteness profiles for the standard processes in delivery processing. You cannot change the field attributes delivered by SAP. However, you can add new field attributes.

Activities

The incompleteness check is executed automatically by the system. If the incompleteness check determines a mandatory field that has not been filled, the action is terminated and an appropriate message is issued.

In Customizing for Delivery Processing, you can execute the following activities for the field control:

●      Define a new incompleteness profile

●      Maintain field attributes

You cannot change any of the field attributes delivered by SAP. However, you can add new field attributes.

●      Define logical field names for new mandatory fields

●      Add new logical field names to the system profile of the field control
