Validation required for a GL account

[Former Member]

Hi Guru,

I want to have a validation for a GL account 571006 to use WBS element for manual postings and should give error if WBS element is not entered against this GL.

Can you please let me know how to create a validation in GGBO.

Thanks

Well you would have to activate at Financial acctg/Line item/ Add a Validation / Pre-req/

BKPF-AWKEY = 'BKPF' AND BSEG-HKONT IN ('all the required accts')

Check BSEG-PROJK <> ''. Then just change the message if required.

Activate the validation using GGB4 by company code.

Hi

I want to transport the validation for which i used GCT9, this will transport the whole validation but under a given validation there are about 15 steps i have created this validation as step 16.

I want to transport step16.

Can you please let me know how to do that.

Thanks

I am afraid this would affect the consistency of the configs. If there are indeed in total 16 steps then all of it should be transported. But if there are specific steps only then I suggest you create another validation rule instead of adding as a step.

Hi,

I thought so, when i have created a new validation and try to assign to the company code in GGB4 it says object already exist as the company code got one validatation assigned to it.

When i am trying to assign my new validation it is not getting assigned.

Can you please help me.

Thanks

The question now is for the company/ies that you are trying to activate the validation does it requires to have the 15 steps of validation. If it does , then you would have to add in as a step 16 . Becoz the system does not allow the company code to be used twice in the activation GGB4. So now for step 16 u would need to add in an additional pre-requisite which is BKPF-BUKRS in ("all the relevant company codes") suggest to use set directory. By using a set there's an advantage of changing the verification values without performing transports.
