RE: Required fields

In order to achieve DSPATR(ME) DDS keyword function in AS/SET, you need to go to
Field Definition screen for this particular field, take otion 2. 'Attributes'
and pecify "Y" for Mandatory Entry attribute:

I'm not sure how you'd do it in Asset, but DSPATR(ME) would do the
trick.....

-----Original Message-----

We are on BPCS 6.0.04 Full Client / Server in a HP / UNIX environment.

Is there any way to make a field in A/P Invoice Entry a required field?  We
are interested in using the Reference field to analyze some purchases being
made, but the information does not reside in BPCS.  The A/P Coordinator
needs to enter the information as he/she keys the invoice, but, without the
system requiring an entry in that field, we run the risk of less than 100%
compliance.  We don't need it to be validated against anything; we just need
to have an entry in that field.  If for some reason a purchase does not have
this type of information available, the Coordinator will probably enter a 0
or some other character that will indicate it is not applicable.

If anyone has any information on whether this is possible, I would
appreciate your comments.
