How do you make a field active in FBL5N on Addtional Details for Line Item screen?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to figure this out and can't seem to get anywhere.  I am trying to make the BSEG-RSTGR (reason code) field in the Additional Details for Line Item screen from FBL5N t-code.  It seems like sometimes that field is editable (meaning I can choose a reason code) and sometimes not.  I am having issue with only one particular company code (in Argentina).  All the other company codes (globally including US and even Brazil) will allow me to change the reason code.  The only fields that are editable are:

House Bank                        

Part. Bank Type
Payment Method

B/e pmnt req.
Reference key 1
Reference key 2

The rest are grayed out (including Reason code). I have checked the FSG and FSV and they all belong to the same group/variant.  I am not sure if this specific to the document type (Y2) or posting key (11).  Where exactly is the config that shows the different fields in the Additional Details for Line item screen of FBL5N?  How does it know to make what fields editable versus not editable.  According to the field status variant/group, Reason Code is set up as Opt. entry.  So why it can't be filled in change mode, I can't seem to figure out.  If I view a Y1 document in FB02, then I can edit that line item's reason code, but not for Y2.  I have checked in OB32 for field BSEG-RSTGR and "Field can be changed" is checked.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thank you.

Dear Ahsan,

I think because of your check in

- No Invoice-related Credit memo

- No Credit memo from Down payment.

In your screenshot, I see the line item has Billing document also.

Please check your scenario.

For more detail, you can put the cursor in each option, press F1 to see SAP help.

Hi Julie,

Good guess. I thought of it too.  But that does not seem to be the issue because the posting key 11 is used in another company code (0010) and is also a credit memo...and the RSTGR field is editable. So I am not sure what the issue is.  Please see the attached screen shots.  Thank you.

Dear Ahsan,

Thank you very much for your more details.

The field status of Posting key is in client level, it will effect to all company codes. => Posting key is not the reason.

I have tested with same cases and find that, the reason is in Changing rule.

I have 3 documents:

- 1 Invoice: 1800000000 => Reason code can be changed

- 1 credit memo with invoice rereference 1600000000 => Reason code cannot be changed

- 1 credit memo without invoice reference1600000001 => Reason code can be changed

Screenshot:

Same with down payment, so, please check your business requirement for change document rule whether you need to tick on 2 options or not.

- No Invoice-related Credit memo

- No Credit memo from Down payment.

If not, untick them...you can change the reason code.

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for your answer.  I did check this in my QA system and if I remove the credit memo info, I am able to edit the field!  So thank you very much!

Take care.

Hi Ahsan,

Hi Ahsan,

Please create New Entry in OB32 for BSEG-RSTGR. Select "D" under Account Type. Mark "Field can be Changed" check box. This will enable editing the reason code FBL5N in Additional Data screen.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,

Hi Naseem,

Please note that what you have suggested is already done and is working for all other company codes/document types.  Please see my attachment and you will see a screen shot of OB32 with the BSEG-RSTGR already existing.  So it is not OB32.  Something else needs to be changed.  Haven't figured it out yet.

Thank you.

Hi Ahsan,

You need to check in respective field status group also for which you have assigned in the particular GL. Make the changes in OBC4 for reason code under payment transaction group as I have changed it for G001 field status group as given below

Hope this will solve your issue.
