Explanation:

Field status variants are used in many places of SAP. In FI modules it’s used for GL masters, Customer Masters, Vendor Masters, Asset Masters and posting Keys. Field status is created individually to get it assigned to GL masters while creating it so that the right field will be displayed at the time of transaction posting.

In field status variant each and every fields are defined with four options;

Suppressed
Optional
Display
Required

If the field is selected as suppressed then you cannot see the field there.

If a field is optional then the field will not be a required entry. If it’s selected as display then the field will only display the value and it cannot be changed or modified. If the field is selected as required then it’s a mandatory entry and system will not allow you if you don’t select any value to it.

Example: For GL Master Creation the field status groups are maintained at transaction code OBD4 while creating the account group. If you double click on the field status groups of a particular account group then the options will be shown to you. Any field you suppress there will not be shown to you while creating the GL master through transaction FS00. If you go back and make it optional then the field will be displayed and will have an option of optional entry.
