Hi, nice video. How can I check all fields (also hidden fields) appearing in MM01? Even if I would go view by view and press F1 I cannot be sure if I missed a hidden field. Goal would be to redefine per material type which fields need to be available, mandatory etc. but I was not able to find some list from SAP in the internet. Is this possible? BR
