    Hi, unfortunately, as mentioned by several experts above, this feature is not available in the BC standard, which requires customization.
    Hopefully the information below can give you some hints.

    Hi,

    No there is no such feature available in standard system.

    But if you study Sales & Receivables Setup, Purchases & Payables Setup you will find two or three fields for managing mandatory feature.

    Making the Apply to doc.no mandatory is not such a good idea in my eyes.

    I am pretty sure your accountants at some point will have to handle payments they can not apply directly.

    So that kind of customization should really be avoided.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, Business Central needs development to make fields mandatory.

    You should use Record.TestField method.
