Configure Business transaction variant in New GL

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In the Extended Document splitting configuration I'm trying to create a new business transaction variant for our bank statement postings.  I am using the standard business transaction 0400 - 'Bank account statement' and have created a new variant Z001.

I would like to add in other item categories e.g. 01000 - 'Balance sheet accounts' in order to mark them as forbidden to ensure that our users do not post to any other accounts apart from our Cash accounts.  However, when I click on New entries, assign the new item category and save, the item category is automatically deleted from the configuration.

Can anyone give me some information on why this is happening?

Thanks

Phil

See SAP note 1492963 for details.  SAP only allows certain item categories for each business transaction variant.  For other requirements you need to set up new Business Transaction Variants under the Business transaction 0000

Philip,

there is no problem on it. After enter new category 01000 hit back - F3 - and all 4 records will be displayed.

Yes that is correct. but when you hit save, the new entry is automatically deleted by the system.
