SAP Note 604145 - ME21N/ME22N: Problems w/ required entry fields on import tab

Component : Intra-European Import and Export - Userinterface - Purchase Orders

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/604145 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In SAP environments addressing purchase orders, setting mandatory fields for foreign trade data (field control = 3) induces issues in ME21N, ME22N, and ME23N transactions. Configuring fields in the incompleteness schema as required restricts navigating away from the 'Import' tab unless all fields are completed, whereas not accessing the tab allows saving with incomplete data. The solution is to adjust the incompleteness schema by setting fields to check for incompletion (field control = 2) and triggering message 06698 if data is incomplete. Changes are made in OLME transaction under ‘Foreign Trade/Customs’.

Key words :
menu path 'foreign trade/customs -> control foreign trade data, menu path 'environment data -> define attributes, dialog box click 'system messages', foreign trade data, foreign trade data', sd documents -> incompleteness schemas, required entry fields occurs, foreign trade, click 'document fields', import data incomplete
