■■Tip
If you are creating a one-time customer group, remember to click the One-Time Account checkbox in
the General Data Section of the Account Group screen.
Click the Enter button to confirm the entries you have made and save your work.
As part of this exercise and using your discretion following the previous steps, create customer account
groups for foreign and one-time vendors.
The next step is to maintain the field status group for your vendor account group. This setting will
determine the field input status for general data, company code data, and purchasing data.
Maintain the Field Status Group for General Data for the
Vendor Account Group
To specify the field status group, double-click General Data in the Field Status section of the New Entries:
Details of Added Entries screen (see Figure 14-7). This will display the Sub-Group list for General Data.
Select the item you want to define the field status for from the Select Group list (address, communication,
and so on). Select Address from the Select Group list and click the Choose button on the top-left side of
the screen. The Maintain Field Status Group: Address screen is displayed. This is where you maintain the
field status for the address. These settings determine whether a given field should be suppressed, required,
or optional, and should be based on your client’s requirements. For this exercise, set the Address fields to
optional, as they are of minor importance.
■■Tip
Make sure all the items in the Address field are set to optional.
