awkey for awtyp = 'BKPF' and awtyp = 'MKPF' in BKPF table

[Former Member]

At my current client, there is the following situation in the BKPF table:

When the awtyp is 'BKPF' in the bkpf table, the awkey is number/company/year, as expected.

But when the awtyp is 'MKPF' in the bkpf table, the awkey is just number/year, with no intervening company code.

Is this standard practice for awkey in bkpf when awtyp = 'MKPF' ???

Or is this due to a configuration error that should be corrected ????

Hi,

Good morning and greetings,

That is standard SAP...If AWTYP is BKPF in the Object Key would be Document Number/Company Code/Year and in the case of MKPF it would be Document Number/Year as it pertains more to WA document type transaction which is from MM module and that is the reason the system will not be in a position to place the company code in the transaction.

Please reward points if found useful

Thanking you

With kindest regards

Thanks Ramesh -

I thought that was the case, but wasn't sure.

It's a terrible practice, if you think about it.

If MM can't put a company in, then it should put in a ref nr followed by 4 spaces followed by the year.

That way, the awkey can always be queried with the expectation that the year wil be in the same place (bytes 15-18).

Anyway, thanks again for confirming what I thought.
