Override  Business Partner validation as save event via BDT

The BDT (Business Data Toolset) is a central control tool for maintaining master data
and simple transaction data. In addition to dialog maintenance, it also supports
maintenance with direct input and/or function modules.

Enhancing the screen to make BP last name optional is a common requirement

however known to be quite tedious if correct steps are not known.

The below blog explains the steps required to make a Business Partner to last name
as optional.

Background 
Execute t-code BUPT -> Business Partner -> Control -> Screen Layout -> Field Group
or t-code BUS2.

The standard field group 25 shows only First Name among the mandatory fields

However Last Name is still Mandatory when an user attempts to save it.

Solution

Follow the below steps

1. Create a function group -> within this function group create a copy of function
module ISU_BUPA_EVENT_DCHCK.
2. Execute BUPT ->  Select Business
Partner→ Controls → Applications (transaction BUS1). Create an individual
application. Save your entries. (e.g. Z test BP enhancement)

Event → Function Modules.
