E1: 04/03B: Request to add processing option to Voucher MBF (P0400047) and to Invoice MBF (P03B0011) to make Tax Explanation Code (EXR1) and Tax Rate/Area (TXA1) fields mandatory (Doc ID 2641285.1)

Symptoms

Clients are requesting a processing option to be added to both the Voucher Entry Master Business Function (B0400047) and the Invoice Entry Master Business Function (B03B0011), so that they can choose to make entering a value in both the Tax Explanation Code (EXR1) and Tax Rate/Area (TXA1) fields mandatory or not.  The processing option should have three values: one for not mandatory, one to set a warning if either field is blank, and one to set an error if either field is blank.

Note that the UDC table for the Tax Explanation Code, 00/EX, has to have a blank value in it due to the Track Taxes functionality.  Even if the latter is not activated, the system still validates that the blank tax explanation code exists.  So taking out the blank value is not a viable workaround.
