Downloading/Exporting Field Statuses

First, I know essentially nothing about SAP, so I hope this is the right area. I am an intern who has been tasked with taking SAP data, and automating some processes with it using Access. No big deal at first, they provided us with a table download script and I did a few no problem.
Now however, I need to check that a bunch of customer account groups have (in their company code data) the reconciliation field set to required. This is how they told us to navigate to the field:
In customization, go to SPRO->Financial Accounting->Account Receivable and Account Payable->Customer Accounts->Master data->Preparations for creating master data->Define account groups with screen layouts, or run transaction OBD2.
Click on the u201DDetailsu201D button (or press F2). Click on the field status u201DCompany code data.u201D Click on the select group u201DAccount management.u201D Review the field status for u201DReconciliation accountu201D.
For anything else, I would just download a table and do the check, but these are contained in a structure, which (via some googling) does not appear to be downloadable. Is there any way to get this data into access?
Edit - found an answer, but couldn't figure out how to delete this post. Mods go ahead if you want.

I totally agree with rnm1978, you shouldn't use OBIEE as an extraction tool. Get your users to define extractly what questions they need answered and create those reports in OBIEE, not on Excel.
Havign said that if you do use OBIEE as an extraction tool you should know that the 56K limitation it's an Excel problem, not OBIEE. If you use the Download Data option in OBIEE you can hundreds of thousands of rows, depending on what have you set as the maximum number of rows your BI Server allows. and if you use Excel 2007 to open this data file it can load up over 1m rows (1048576 to be precise).

About field status table

I want to download the GL account field status info from SAP table in the following path:IMG -> Financial Accounting(New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings(New) -> Ledgers -> Fields -> Define Field Status Variants.I need each field status info(Suppress / Require Entry / Option Entry),but I don't know I can download them from which table.

Dear,
What you can do is use the table SKB1 and get the field status group for the GL, there is no specific table which shows S R O of the field status variant but you can see the table T004F.

Hi ,
Looking at the question the first thing that comes to my mind is what is the organization structure that you are following .
As you have mentioned that you have used segment insted of profit center for splitting , what is the scope of profit center in your implementation .
in implementations where locations are devided as profit centes it becomes very necessary to mandatorily split the documents based on profit center .
in your case as you have set it as segment i dont find it an issue of you keeping it as optional as it will not give you and error during your operations , as you have made profit center optional in splitting charcteristics .
hope this suffices .

Access to GL Field Status Group Settings

In 4.0B, transaction FS03 - Display GL Account, I enter an account number and a company code and hit enter. On the next screen, I hit the Next Screen Button(F8). Near the bottom on the screen is field 'Field Status Group'.
Now use menu path EXTRAS-->Field Status Screen. I get a list of groups and I double click on group 'Payment transactions'.
The second field on the next screen is called 'Value date' and it has radio button 'Req.Entry' set.
From looking at the F1 help on 'Field Status Group', it mentions that 'The field status when you create a document also depends on the posting key'.
So now my question. Given that I have the account number, company code and posting key, how can I retrieve the data that tells me that 'Value date' is a required entry from my ABAP program?

Hello,
About this questions:
but can you tell me how you have decided that 6th position field is value date?
how to determine the positions of fields? it is maintained somewhere?(in any table).
...which element belong ?
-> trial and error
This is the only way to know this?
I am using FM 'PREPARE_FIELD_SELECT_STRING' inside it in field FAUSTAB[] apparently there is the mapping of the fields, my other questions is, always is the same field matching from the data retrieved from FI_FIELD_SELECTION_DETERMINE and the field status group?
w_faus1 = faus1.
w_faus1+90(50) = faus2.
     CALL FUNCTION 'PREPARE_FIELD_SELECT_STRING'
        EXPORTING
          incoming_string = w_faus1
          string_id       = 'SKB1-FAUS1 '
          text1           = 'xxx'
          text2           = 'xxx'.
TEXT3                 = ' '

How to download structure fields using (Not querying DD03L)

Hi Gurus,
The function module 'DB_GET_TABLE_FIELDS' is used to download table fields but if I want to download structure fields, how do I do it ?
I don't want to query DD03L because it then gives fields in alphabetical order but the actual structure does not have those fields in alphabetical order.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi,
You can still use DD03L..Then sort the internal table POSITION.
Example
DATA: ITAB LIKE DD03L OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM DD03L INTO TABLE ITAB
WHERE TABNAME = 'RV45A'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
SORT ITAB BY POSITION.
ENDIF.
Now the itab will be in the order that you see in SE11..
Thanks,

Validation: Field status of G/L account

Problem: When posting non-goods receipt invoices in MIRO, G/L account and acct assignment object are proposed by purchase order, but they can be overwritten by users with no validation, often resulting in incorrect posting.
Such validation controls are in place for ME51N and ME21N. That is, the combination of GL account and account assignment are validated/checked against Field Status Group (FSTAG u2013 based on G/L master) as well as Account Assignment Category (in PO). I want to extend those controls to MIRO non-GR invoices.
This problems fits description in OSS Note 522101. The solution recommended in the Note is u201CPossible incorrect entries could be checked or corrected by validation or substitution if necessary.u201D
If I create a validation in OB28, how should I express the logic in "Check"?
Appreicate any help on this.

Hi,
I do not think so that there are standard BADI or User Exit available in std sap for such validations.
It is a facility given by sap to post to a separate GL account in MIRO screen.
If you want a GL to be taken only with perticular cost center or other account assignment , try a user exit or try changing the std program for MIRO.

Field Status at Transaction Level

I want to change the field status for Business Place/ Section Code from Supress to Optional in transaction F-02.
How can I change Field status at Transaction Level ?

Hi ,
FIelds Status can be changed by 2 ways
1, Posting Keys - any change in the Field status will Effect all the clients
2.Field Status Group Variant,which we assign in GL Master- Changes to FSG, Will Effect only Perticular Lilne Items of tht GL Account.
As Per your requirment, I do not think you can change the Field Status as Per Transcation i.e for F-02 or FB50 instead you can change the Field Status of perticular GL Account which you are posting the Transcation. which will b specific to the GL Account.
if you want the Changes across clients , you can change the Field Status By posting Keys.
Hope the Above Helps you .
Thanks

Impact of Field Status change in production

Hello Experts,
While doing MB1c intial stock upload i got an error that "Fld selection for mvmt type 561/acct 230000 differs for Ext GA amount in LC(023).
I found that the feild Ext GA amount in LC is made optional for mvnt type 561.
For gl 230000 the fsg is maintained as ZPL1 and that field is supressed.
But the GL 230000 is a balance sheet account so i think that we have to maintain the field status group as ZBS1.
For ZBS1 the field Ext GA amount in LC is optional only.
In production also for GL 230000 the FSG is maintained as ZPL1.
If we change the FSG from ZPL1 to ZBS1 in productin system what will be the impact.
Is this is the correct process or do we need to change the Field status for GL or Mvn=mt type.
Please guide me with correct solution.
Thanks in advance,
Satya

Hello Atif,
There are some other differences are also there between ZPL1 and ZBS1.
Can you please let me know the solution for the below error
"Fld selection for mvmt type561/acct 230000 differs in Ext GA amount in LC (023)"
Am getting this error while am doing MB1c intial stock uplaod

MIRO: Field Status control per GL master for non-goods receipt invoices

When posting incoming invoices in FI using FB60, the combination of GL account and CO account assignment are validated and checked against Field Status Group (FSTAG). Such controls are also in place in MM for purchase requisition (ME51N) and purchase order (ME21N), in addition to checking the account assignment category.
But there is problem in posting non-goods receipt (2-way match) invoices in MIRO u2013 system checks GL account and account assignment object according to account assignment category in PO, but not the field status based on GL account. GL account and acct assignment object are proposed by purchase order. However they can be overwritten by users with no validation, often resulting in incorrect posting. Wonder how other manage this issues in their companies.
I would like and need help in implementing a validation or user exit in MIRO which will check GL account against its CO account assignment for cost centre, order or WBS, based on the field status group of the GL master.
Q1, Where is the user-exit or validation maintained that checks the field status group in FB60 and ME21N (not in OB28 or GGB0)?
Q2. If purchase requisition and purchase order check field status group based on GL account, how can we make such controls available in MIRO?
Q3. What is the transaction code for developing a validation for MIRO? (MM MIRO not appeared in the application area of GGB0.)
Appreciated any help

Hi
Th evalidation should be at the source is the Purchase Order. I beleive it is standard SAP Config to put the validation there. So once the PO has been created with the correct account assignments the GR and IR will be correct.

Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant

HI,
I have created company called 'zg01'.
when i try to create a GL ACCOUNT FOR this company using (FS00) i am getting the following error.
Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION I HAVE CREATED COA and assign the same to the company ZG01.
Please suggest....
also suggest how to i transport GL Accounts used by other companys of my system to my newly created company code : zg01.
so that i can save creation of GL ACCOUNT.

You have to maintain field status variant and assign it to your company code. This is required for GL master data.
1. Define Field status variant in SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Define Field status variant. You create the field status variant and the field status group.
2. Assign the Field Status group to your company code SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Assign Company Code to Field Status Variants
Once you have defined this you will be able to assign field status group to your GL master data.
The use of Field Status Group is to determine the required/displayed/optional fields during posting transactions.

Field Status Group influence when Purchase Requisition being created

Hi!
I have a requirement from a client regarding the influence of the Field Status Group on Purchasing Documents.
A Filed Status Group has been created in which has the CO/PP order set as Required entry for the Account Assignment.
This Group was then assigned to a GL Account.
When a Goods Receipt (MIGO) against a Purchase Order is entered for a GL which requires an Internal Order, the standard error message "Field Order is a required field for G/L account 0010 4105000100 " (message # F5808) appears if the Account Assignment on the PO is incorrect & no Internal Order has been entered.
This is fine & is how the system operates as standard.
However, the requirement from my client is to make this error message appear when a Purchase Requisition is being entered on the system, before it is converted to a PO & then receipted.
They believe that calling the message at the point of GR is too late in the process.
Could anyone advise on any possible BAPI, etc which could help us with this requirement??
Thanks,
k
