How BSEG-MATNR Fills From Sales & Distribution Flow

[fernando_francov]

Hello everyone,

I have an scenario where a sales order with a DIEN material after doing VF01 doesn't populate BSEG-MATNR field with material number.

For this scenario, we create sales order in VA01 and then do the billing process through VF01. In the financial document at the revenue account BSEG-MATNR field is empty.

I know this field populates by natural integration flow of SD and FI.

Please if someone can give advice i will appreciate that.

Thank you.

Regards,

Fernando

Postings from the billing documents are for the full net amount. It's one FI posting for the whole SD document, so it wouldn't be feasible to include MATNR there because it's not posting per SD document line item. At least that's what I've seen in the SAP systems I worked with.

BSEG-MATNR is populated when the transaction pertains to the material, e.g. goods movement. It is not relevant for the postings to the customer / revenue accounts.

But why is this a question?
