  Key Concepts: 
  The Field Control Framework (FCF) is a component of the SAP Business Suite Foundation that provides a unified way to control the behavior of fields in SAP applications. It allows developers to define field-level properties, such as visibility, editability, and mandatory status, in a single place and have them applied across multiple applications. This makes it easier to maintain consistency across different applications and reduces the amount of code needed to manage field behavior.
  
  How to use it: 
  The FCF is used by developers to define field-level properties in a single place and have them applied across multiple applications. This is done by creating a field control profile, which contains the properties for each field. The profile can then be assigned to an application or a set of applications, allowing the same field behavior to be applied across multiple applications.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a field control profile, it is important to consider how the properties will be applied across different applications. For example, if a field should be visible in one application but not in another, it is important to make sure that the visibility property is set correctly for each application.
