can't do substitution for BSEG field

[Former Member]

Dear experts, are all the fields in the BSEG field be substitutable? is there any fields in BSEG we can't define FI line item substitution for them, how would I know the field can't be substitutable?

also for substitution, what's the difference between define substitution at line item and complete document level, if we define substitution at complete document level, does it asl affect document header? thanks

Dear Robin,

as the SAP note 42615 states:

You can carry out a substitution for some fields. If invalid values are

substituted in this case, you may receive the wrong function or error

messages in standard programs. However, these errors are not

particularly critical. You can currently release the following fields

for substitution:

BSEG-FIPOS, BSEG-HBKID, BSEG-MSCHL, BSEG-MANSP, BSEG-MADAT, BSEG-MANST,

BSEG-MABER, BSEG-RSTGR, BSEG-ZLSPR

I hope this helps.

Hi,

The difference on call point of validation implies the time, when the validation event happens. Therefore, the difference of availability of certain fields on different call point levels. As for subsitutable fields, you can theoretically change it, as this definition is kept in table GB01 ('Exclude' field). By modifying this table, you can make a field subsitutable. However, please keep in mind, that for certain fields this won't work either: though, the field might be available for subsitution, it won't be subsituted eventually.

You can find more info in note 842318.

if field is marked with X in exclude field, can we use SM30 to modify table GB01 to untick X, then any impact on the system? for example, if I change ANLN1 of BSEG to be not excluded, any impact?

As I said, ticking the 'exclude' flag will make it available (open) for subsitution in OBBH. But for certain fields, it won't change much: the field will not be subject to subsitution anyway. You should do the tests in order to see whether it will be possible.

Eli
