Funds Centre field usage for normal transaction!!

[pandu_bad]

Dear Experts

While posting MIRO with reference to the PO we need a field to to capture some unique information to distinguish the line items in later point for internal report preparation!

We dont have BSEG-XREF1/2 available in MIRO!! and all the other available fields being used. we could see 'Funds Centre' field which is available

Could you please share me some info on ...

We dont have FM activated in our environment, however we have the field available in MIRO and allowed to add free text (when we enter invoice with split items, we tested it and the info entered in this field flows to FI document as well)

If we use Funds Centre field to record some text reference in each item, what would be the impact/effects?

Thanks in advance for your help and recommendations!

Dear Eli,

Thanks for your recommendation!

We were finding a way to activate BSEG-XREF1 in MIRO 'PO Reference' tab, could you please share your views and considerations on this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It's not a good idea. Fund centre is a field with a lot of functional meaning in the document chain processing. I cannot predict potential negative impact (it is even possible that there will be none in your particular system), but I certainly wouldn't recommend it. If you don't have available field which you could use, it would be better to enhance M(B)SEG structure with some Z-field rather than misusing fund centre.

Regards,

Eli
