Hi Team,
 
Using PurchPurchaseOrderHeaderV2Entity i am importing the data.
 
PurchPurchaseOrderHeaderV2Entity.OrderVendorAccountNumber field data i am getting from custom parameter table instead of import file. So that i am writing the logic in entity postGetStagingData method and in mapping details i have set Auto default Yes of OrderVendorAccountNumber field.
 
Using above approach i am able to import the data.
 
But my client don't want to set Auto default Yes, is should handle through code.
 
For that i writing the my logic in mapEntityToDataSource method.
 
But i am getting below error.
Field 'Vendor account' must be filled in.

    As Andre suggested, this field is mandatory in staging. As making mandatory to no is not possible as it is standard. I think custom entity should be created in this scenario.

    Hi,
     
    You might currently get the error due to the fact that the field for the vendor account is mandatory on the data entity an/or staging table. Using the method mapEntityToDataSource filling of the vendor account is done after inserting details in the staging table. So, ensure the data entity and staging table does not have this field set as mandatory. The auto default is then not required to set.
