required a customer field(located in the profitability segment box) as mand

[Former Member]

our client is requested that the customer field (located in the Profitability Segment box) be a mandatory field for GL accounts which are getting posted directly from FI. This field is needed so that proper reporting can be generated for bad debt and product liability claims. Currently this field is not a mandatory when making journal entries, so there were some postings happened with out customer field. Due to this we are unable to extract exact values in CO-PA reports . Please can some one help me on this and explain the process and settings for this??

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can create a validation (OB28), where you can demend that this field will be filled. You'll have to write a user-exit, if this field is not a part of BSEG table, but just an element in CO-PA.

Hi Eli,

I have posted note to SAP and i got the below reply from them.

Get this functionality you should change

the coding of form DERIVE_CRITERIA_EXTENDED from include RKEVRK2L after

uninstallation of note 115500(in case you have installed) like this:

...

• Im Dialogfall (Kontierungspopup) Verprobung ob für Feld

• Mußeingabe erforderlich (Merkmalsgruppe!)

• (nicht f. Faktura, da dort keine Fehlermeldung moeglich)

*-

if ( xt_criteria-field is initial

• BEGIN OF DELETION *****

and xt_criteria-status eq '2'

and not is_status_flags-dialog is initial ) .

perform send_message using 'KE' 'E' '494'

• END OF DELETION *****

• BEGIN OF INSERTION *****

and xt_criteria-status eq '2' ) .

data: l_mtyp type c.

if not IS_STATUS_FLAGS-DIALOG is initial.

l_mtyp = 'E'.

else.

l_mtyp = 'W'.

endif.

perform send_message using 'KE' l_mtyp '494'

• END OF INSERTION *****

xt_criteria-fieldname

is_cobl-vorgn

i_char_group

' '.

endif.

...

Afterwards you have to run function module RKE_GENERATE_INTERFACE_ACT

for your operating concern to update the generated program RK2LXXXX.

Thanks & Regards,
