Special GL Indicator does not exist in OBXT

[Former Member]

Dear All,

While entering a special GL indicator in FB60, the error message I get is

"Special GL Transactionfor type A is not supported".

I did some investigation and found out that the tcode OBXT is empty. I tried to create the special GL entries their same as in exist in OBYR but it does not allow me to create one by saying "Account type K special GL indicator A already exist".

Even though it says the entry exist, I am not able to see it.

Is there a specific way to populate the special GL indicator in OBXT to be used in tcode FB60?

Hi,

In OBXT you can create only the noted item relevant special Gl indicator, whereas OBYR is for down payment related special GL indicators.

Fo to OBYR and check the setting of special GL transaction type A. In properties, it should be marked as down payment and the check box "Noted Item" should not be activated.

Then only you can use this indicator A for down payment. You can post the down payment using F-48.

Can you tell us that for what purpose you want to use this special GL indicator A

The reason of needing the special GL indicator in FB60 is having paid down payment to a vendor through F-47, we would like to book invoice posting through FB60 in FI .

However, Special GL indicator field available in FB60 tcode does not contain Special GL indicator which was used for down payment. As the matter of fact, it does not contain any entry that is in OBYR.

We are trying to use the indicator T (custom created by client to use to pay the down payment to travel employee). I checked the properties of T and is same as you discribed.

Noted Item not active

down payment

Debit 29 creditr 39

See, that down payment you can enter in F-48 only for vendor. If you have created the down payment request in F-47, then you can create down payment with reference to that in F-48

FB60 can not be used for down payment.
