Validation

Validation:
Validation is used to when requirement is to control fields for transaction posting (that we cannot do
with field status group)

Ex: Let us see with a basic example

Requirement: If GL is 400000(expense GL account)→Text field should not be blank at line item
level. If we left it as blank, it should through an error. If we change in field status group (OBC4) it
will applies to all GL’s further.

Validation Configuration: We can do validation for Header data and Line-item data. As per
requirement I’m going to do validation for Line-item level.
T code: GGB0 – Financial Accounting – Click Line item – validation field will be enabled & click on it
