Symptom
The credit control area field cannot be set as mandatory via field status group configuration in the following apps:
- Post Outgoing Payments
- Post Incoming Payments
- Clear Outgoing Payments
- Clear Incoming Payments
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to manual payment apps like Clear Incoming Payments
- Switch to post on account tab
Cause
Setting credit control area as mandatory through field status group configuration is not supported by standard product design.
Resolution
No standard configuration approach can make the credit control area field mandatory for the given general ledger account. Submit an enhancement request via the Customer Influence portal if this functionality is required for business operations. Refer to KBA 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - SAP for Me for steps to submit feature requests.
