I’m trying to set up the F8 list in IFS so that it only displays allowed values based on combinations of cost center, department, and segment. The goal is for the system to filter the F8 lists based on valid combinations, not just validate them.

Does anyone know if this is an option in IFS APP 10?

Hello ​@Beginner23 

This requires modification on the related view combining current user’s combination rules with the view.

You cannot resolve it on application level.

Hope this helps

Hello,
I think I can confirm what ​@Furkan Zengin said. 

Problem is technical - when you press F8, system is passing remaining key values to the view used in LOV - for code part it is company only. 
To filter allowed values depending on allowed combinations, you should define additionally 2 of remaining 3 fields as a key: cost center, department, segment. It requires creation of brand new view and use it as LOV. 
If you consider technical change please keep in mind that LOV selection is not company-dependent. It is fine if you have single company or all companies share the same logic. 
You must remember as well that LOV for code part value is used in multiple places in IFS system - doing voucher entry is one example, but same LOV is using during posting supplier invoice and enter preposting in various objects. Especially in preposting cases, not all 3 dimensions: department, segment or cost center could came from preposting, some of them can be derived from posting control…
As you can see, change is not so easy even logically, not digging to technical details.
