can i change field: location in column from mandatory to not mandatory only in statistic journal?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the 'Location' field being mandatory is a system-wide setting in NetSuite and is controlled by the "Make Locations Mandatory" option under Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > General. This setting has accounting implications and if it's checked, you can't create any transaction without the location field filled. In the context of a Statistic Journal, if the 'Location' field is set to mandatory, it cannot be changed to optional only for this type of transaction. This is because the setting applies to all transactions and not just specific ones. There was a suggestion to use a User Event (UE) script to remove the mandatory requirement, but it was noted that this might not work if the "Make Locations Mandatory" setting is enabled. Another suggestion was to set a default value for the 'Location' field if you have to keep the "Make Locations Mandatory" setting enabled. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
