System Error on MB51 (CI_COBL) (Error G_COBL_CORE001)

[Former Member]

The original change requested me to save the time and date when reservation is saved ( MB21). To enhance this, I have added 2 new entries to table include CI_COBL (RSTIME and RSDATE) on table RKPF ( to save the time and date when user creates reservation on MB21).

Now, The fields are being updated correctly but when users log into different transaction Transaction MB51 and look at materials that were created/posted after change when live, they are getting this error (Attachment 1) .  I have also attached screenshots from transaction OXK4,(screenshot 2) .

What do the red lines signify?

I haven't found much help on the forums. Any idea would be appreciated.

thanks

I would suggest you to contact your developer to resolve the discrepancies. There are some entries missing in the coding block.

Thank you.

I am the developer

You failed to follow all the steps of OXK3, specialist mode. Go look at the documentation in SPRO, and follow all the steps which will eliminate your error.

You seem to have added the fields only to CI_COBL, but that's not enough.

Joao

can you please be more precise on your answer? what steps are you refering to? I can't seem to find much information on this issue.

I'm mobile right now, when I get to a computer I will provide the path to the procedure.

i am trying to delete my fields, but the 'expert mode' has been grayed out.  I am not able to select 'expert mode' at this time. I tried to remove new my fields from CI_COBL but wont let me activate without a dummy field.

I am assuming what I need to do at this point is to revert back my changes in CI_COBL, hence I am trying to remove all my entries in CI_COBL. Then enhance CI_COBL again using OXK3 (instead of directly changing CI_COBL table through SE11)

[joao_sousa2]

To revert is an option, and yes you need to use the dummy field. 

In expert mode you will use SE11 anyway, the problem is that you need to follow the SPRO instruction in:

Financial Accounting (new) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (new) -> Ledgers -> Fields -> Customer fields -> Edit Coding Block.

In the instructions you will see that he tells you to add the field to CI_COBL_BI, BSEG, etc.

thanks.

I have added the fields and added CONTROL ENTRIES.

At this point, do I need add these fields to BSEG? I can't seem to do that unless you have a acess key??

[joao_sousa2]

I believe the instructions tell you that in newer SAP version you can add an append structure or something like that. Read the section of the instructions that deals with BSEG.

In older versions yes, you needed an access key from service.sap.com

EDIT: The procedure for BSEG is detailed in note 1451330.

Thanks for your help. I have added the fields using oxk3 to CI_COBL and CI_COBL_BI.  Althought I haven't added to BSEG  so far this has solved my system error. I will add my fields to BSEG in the future, once users complain of errors in relating to BSEG.

thanks
