Hi,
The field billing document 'VBELN' is contained in table BSEG AND in
table BSID but NOT in table BSIS.
So Billing document number can be displayed in customer line item
display (FBL5N) and not in G/L line item display (FBL3N). So, first
please check if field VBELN has been filled for the relevant G/L items.
The value of VBELN is saved in table BSEG. So, this means, you
have to define the field BSEG-VBELN as a special field in table
T021S. Then you can use it in FBL3N, because then the report looks
directly in BSEG-VBELN.
Please create the field BSEG-VBELN as special field
in transaction OBVU (FBL3N  >MENU  >SETTINGS  >SPECIAL FIELDS);
Create a variant in FBL3N to include this field (FBL3N > SETTINGS >
DISPLAY VARIANT > CURRENT... Add the required fields
Follow the instruction as given in note 215798 which is very helpful.
Please also review note 373268 and note 207436. You don't have to
implement the coding corrections, if you are on a higher version. But
it explains in detail the system behaviour. The example in the note
with field EBELN could be replicated on your field VBELN.
Hope this helps.
