I am converting our WDJava to WDAbap. In doing so I have a requirement to allow the end user to maintain emergency contacts name and phone number only for a particular country. I was assuming since I hit no error in back-end that portal would act the same way. However when I edit a emergency contact I get a "Social Security number is invalid". If I make the SS visible, I can enter and the process goes through just fine.
Is SAP standard to validate at two different levels the backend and ESS? If so am I running up against a edit to a user structure which requires a social security number in the USA? I don't want to have to maintain social security numbers especially for individuals that are emergency contacts.
Am I looking correctly at this scenario, it feels that this should be done through configuration. Is my gut steering me correctly?
