What is the relation between Field Status & Account Group?
Answer Posted / ps
A field status group and an account group are 2 very
different things.
An account group classifies thhe account, controls the
account number, and controls the required fields in the
associated master record in the company code segment.
General Ledger, customer and vendor accounts each have sets
of account groups.
Your options are: Suppress (never show the field), Display
(no entry allowed), Required (must complete), Optional
(complete or not)
If you are unsure of how a field will be used, you should
make that field Optional.
The field status group (FSG) controls the required fields
when posting to a GL account. The FSG applies to ALL
postings to the GL account, no matter where they originate,
not just manual postings. The FSG is part of the company
code segment of the GL master so different company codes
can use different SAP fuctionality. For example, the
corporate company code use cash management but a
manufacturing company code does not.
Because the FSC applies to all FI postings, you must be
very sure of the integration points with FI if you choose
to make a field Required or Suppress the field.
