Hello,

We have a billing document posted and we can't see the profitability segment in the accounting document because this button doesn't work on this kind of document. 

Why is not active this button in the accounting document if the billing document has this assignment. 

It possible to see this in attachment.

Let me know something about that as soos as possible.

Thanks in advance.

I think this may be a 'feature' (I get the same)

Try using one of the newer fiori apps (e.g. Manage Journal Entries) rather than the old 'Display Journal Entries' that it looks like you are using here, and the data should display OK, and you can drill into the profitability segment detail

Dear Mario,

Does this happen for all billing documents ? Or only for this billing document ?

In the OP world this would happen if FI document summarization was active for the PA segment (tcode OBCY / OBCYX)

In the Cloud world I do not think this functionality is available.

Normally if the billing document has a PA segment active the corresponding FI document should inherit the same. So I also wonder if you use the Cloud BAdI mentioned in the below note to change the standard behavior ?

Note 2676581-FAQ: Validation and Substitution Cloud BAdIs Availability

Dear Mario,

I checked further on this and found that table BSEG is summarized in the Cloud according to G/L summarization transaction OBCY for Reference Transaction VBRK regarding PAOBJNR and some other fields as the profitability segment is unnecessary in table BSEG in the normal case. Customers need to check the G/L View instead of the Entry View in the G/L document display.

Dear Mario,

I got this information from one of my development colleagues responsible for this functionality (so basically from the horse's mouth).

In the OP world the customer basically decides which fields he wants summarized in BSEG via tcode OBCY. In case of S/4HC SAP has decided to ship this customizing based their experience of what makes the most sense.

Actually there would be no difference in the information that you see in the PA segment in the billing document and in the FI document as it should be the same PA segment. So you do not lose any functionality or visibility of the data with the shipment of this customizing by default.

looks like the second document was created maybe as a journal entry / interface? and somehow the creator was able to post without a PA Segment?

Check in SSCUI 102639 Default Account assignments that your revenue accounts are maintained for all company codes with PA Segment flag on.

Dear roland.dittus,

I think that option is not necessary. You can have profitability segment in assignments even though yoi don't have the revenue account mainteined with PA segment flag on. At least in on premise world. I don't know if in this system is diferent.

If you have more information about that, please, let me know.

Thanks in adavance.
