Hi Margaret,
You can also put a field exit on the Requester field to make sure it
contains a valid user id. (Or use user exit at point of saving). Field exits
are not a SAP-promoted approach, at the same time, Field exits are supported
in latest releases (program RSMODPRF).
Also have a look at user exit M06B0001-ZXM06U12.
Kind Regards,
