FEC file - how to handle empty SGTXT fields

489 Views

Hello Experts,
we created FEC extract and views according to the relevant SAP notes.
Now our auditors complain that many lines only contain "*" in field SGTXT.
They claim that according to French law all SGTXT fields have to contain a sensible text.

1. Is that true? According to our accounting the law is pretty clear about that. I can hardly imagine that this is not covered by SAP's solution.

2. If so, how can we accomplish that?
Manual maintenance does not cover automatically generated item lines
A substitution could become very complex, covering the various rules for sensitive texts
A batch job updating today's records would be likewise complex but not as performace relevant.

How do other companies deal with this requirement? It seems strange I could not find anything in the internet...

Thanks for your support.

Regards, Jens
