JV Substitution and Validation

[former_member969414]

I've created a substitution in TCode GGB1 in Application Area Joint Venture Accounting at the line item level for a specific Document Type (JVAP-DOCTY = 'SA') AND GL Account (JVAP-RACCT = '80017030') and substitute a cost center (JVAP-RCNTR = '72000367'). I run the Substitution/Validation regeneration program (RGUGBR00) and activate full trace. The existing FI substitution rules are called but the JVA substitution is never initiated. Is there another step required to activate Substitutions/Validations in the Joint Venture Accounting application area? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Does it show an error ? As it is a Cost Center, if you do a FI substitution, do you see any change? Is NewGL active with JVA (EhP5 or superior) ?

Dear Bryan,

Check if the substitution is assigned in the TX: GJBS.

You must assign the substitution to Company

When you have specified the logic for the substitution, you have to assign the new substitution to the company and call-up point combination.

Also, you must assign an active code of 1 to the substitution to activate it for JVA postings within the company.

Dear Bryan

Entering as change view mode in GJBS, pressing tab twice you will find the Activation Level field, with the following options:

0 Inactive
1 Active
2 Active, no batch input

Thank you Pablo. I had assigned the substitution and call-up point to the company code but didn't scroll to the right in the configuration configuration window to notice the activation field. Once I activated the substitution, it worked as expected. I appreciate you following up with the answer.

It doesn't give an error, it simply never calls the substitution. I do not want to perform an FI substitution because I only want to update the cost center in the JV ledger (JVSO1). We have NewGL active and prior to that implementation we upgraded to EHP7.
