Dear SDN community,
I am working with large SAP customers worldwide to improve the business processes they have implemented in SAP ERP.
One thing I come over very frequently is, that incompleteness procedures for Sales Items includ fields which have status group 00 or status group 01 assigned. -> Fields have been classified as mandatory, even no processing is prevented.
This often leads to the situation that this fields are not field by end users, the Sales items / documents can be completely processed, but entries in table VBUV remain untill the Sales Documents are archived.
This leads to performance problems with the incompleteness procedures.
What I have never been able to really figure out in any of this customer projects is: Why?
Why would you classify a field as mandatory in the incompleteness procedures if the corresponding document can be processed completely and you are anyway not expecting anybody to fill this field?
Is there any technical dependency I am missing?
Or is it just our believe that end users will fill this field and the missing awareness on the interdependency with performance?
I would very much appreciate your insight and examples of when you have used status group 00 and status group 01.
