FBL5N Header Chacacteristics

OSS note 393290 indicates to me that you can add additional characteristics to the FBL5N header fields.  For example SORT2
It is clearly an accepted method for inserting characteristics into the report headers, with limitations as to the tables permitted.
However my Basis colleague says it is simply a correction to an error, and no longe relevant in an ECC 6.0 system.
He asks: "Is it documented elsewhere that it a accepted method for inserting new characteristics ?
If not, then it will be treated as a repair to the SAP System and unfortunately not something I will support."
The note says:
In this manner, you can generally insert characteristics for maintaining the headers. But do consider the following; you can only createA and B segments of the master data using this method. This means:
'Vendor Line Item Display' FBL1N > you can create fields from LFA1 and LFB1 in this manner, structure: FILITEXTS_AP
'Customer Line Item Display' FBL5N > you can create fields from KNA1 and KNB1 in this manner, structure: FILITEXTS_AR
You can also add this to the affected structure as an Append.
I need evidence to support my case.  Can anyone suggest where else this approach to adding fields is supported by SAP?
Thanks,  George Mansfield

If there is an SAP approved method of adding header fields via simple enhancement of a table then I am not sure why one needs to consider a BTE approach.
As to using special fields My understanding is this would enable addition of header fields into the line layout display, but does not resolve my issue of displaying the additional field in the header part of the screen.
What I want to be able to do is show 3 key customer fields: In this case: customer number, payroll number, and NI (National Insurance) and the best field for this last value looks like being SORT2.
More help please.  Thanks George Mansfield

  • Current Header Rows from FBL5N in custom report

    Hi,
    If you go to transaction FBL5N into settings -> Layout -> Current Header Rows, you're able to change the header outputs at the top of each ALV List. I'm trying to do the same with my custom report, but when I go to settings -> Layout, I dont have the option to choose current header rows. How can I add this feature to my custom program?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Head office customer line item display FBL5N

    Hi Gurus,
                  I have assigned head office (customer number) in the customer master of Brach office and i have also maintained sort key as 004. But when i execute FBL5N by entering the head office code in the dynamic selection of FBL5N report i am only getting Brach line items the report is not displaying the head office line items, can any one explain is it a standard behaviour or am i missing anything here?
    My system environment is ECC6.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi. as far as I remember FBL5N is using DDF database. So go SE36,structure DDF.Then extracts-Dynamic selection and check if there is the same field which you are entered.If not,then add required.

  • Head Office account in FBL5N

    Hi there!
    We have an head office account. When we viewed it in FBL5N with the following paramters: Customer, Company code and Open item as of xx.xx.xxxx. The result of which for example is 50000USD. Then we tried to use FBL5N but with different parameter. We select from the dynamic selection - head office and indicate the account, open item as of xx.xx.xxxx. The result was 35000USD.
    Can you provide possible reasons why the result is different?
    Thanks a lot.

    Head office account number (in branch accounts)
    This field contains the account number of the head office.
    This account number is only specified for branch accounts. All postings for which the account number of the branch is specified, are automatically posted to the head office account. The account number of the branch affected is noted in the line items.
    No line items or balances are managed in the branch account.
    It is due to this.

  • Adding field in header of FBL5N

    Hi,
         I would like to add a customer's telephone number to the existing header of FBL5N. I know we can achieve it through BTE 00001640. I am getting the telephone no. above the customer no. whereas i want to display the customer no. and the telephone no. on the same line. Customer No. is being displayed on the left hand side. I have to display the telephone no. on the right hand side in the same line.
    Can someone help me please.
    Help will be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ibrahim

    hi darek,
              sorry to bother you again, the standard header of FBL5N is visible even when we scroll the line items to left. but unlikely my header is partially visible or invisible when the cursor is scrolled to left to view other columns.
            For example if the layout is dispalying 10 columns , then the first say 7 coulmns would appear on the screen, n the restwould b on the left hand side. SO to view those columns we wil scroll the line items to left. When i scroll it,  the standard header it is appearing but when i supress the standard and use my customised header , the header details get partiall visible or disapper if i move it to the end of the columns.
              Kindly let me know what extra functianlity i ahve to add to achieve this.
    thanking you.

  • FBL5N - Current Header Rows

    hi,
    I want to know from where the header details are getting displayed in fbl5n (Choose Settings -> Layout -> Current Header Rows -> Characteristics).
    I'm not interested in line Items (the structure RFPOS & RFPOSX) but customer line
    E.g. in KNA1 there is the field NAME3, which is not available in header
    regards

    Hi,
    Please check the structure RFPOSXEXT for the output display and it is actually using the fm FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY.

  • Adding one header text field in FBL5N output

    Hi Experts,
    I hava a requirment to show one extra field of length 200 character in the FBL5N transaction output. When I analyzed the program I found its using "FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY" Fm to display the output. The table passed to this FM is of type structure "RFPOSXEXT", which dont have any field of 200 length.
    can anybody suggest me a better way to do the change rather then going for a 'Z' FM and 'Z' program.
    Regards,
    Puja Patil.

    Hi,
    a. Add the news fields in structure RFPOS and RFPOSX by APPEND structure
    b. Run the report RFPOSXEXTEND in order to update the structure RFPOSXEXT from RFPOSX
    (this report has to be run in every enviroment, dev, test and prod)
    c. Active the BTE 00001650 in order to create a fm as copy of SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650:
    d. here insert the code you need to fill your new field.
    e. Use trx FIBF to active the BTE, trx SE37 to create the new fm
    Just now I have incorporated a requirement of adding additional customer field in FBLN5 using BTE enhancement. It works fine.
    Please reward points if helpful.

  • How to post a payment against an open item seen in tx FBL5N ?

    Hi ,
    When I go to the transaction FBL5N , I see the open customer line item .How do I clear this ? Is there any transaction for this ?
    Also , now my accounting document's status is "Not Cleared".If the line item is cleared , will this change the status of the Accounting Document to "Cleared" ? .Thanks.

    Hello,
    Using T-cd:FB05 or F-28, the customer open line item can be cleared.
    For example: in F-28, enter the fields in header(company code, document type and so on), enter the
    bank account and amount in bank data area, enter account and aqccount type in open item selection area( if it is a special G/L line item, the Special G/L ind should be entered as well), ten press "process
    open items" button , you could see the open line items you confirmed in FBL5N, activate the line item you want to clear, if value in  field of "Not assigned" is zero, then press post button, you could post a clearing document. then confirm in FBL5N, you could find the Open line item is cleared.

  • FBL1N FBL3N FBL5N questions

    Hello all,
    I want to extract data from SAP to perform reconciliation and prepare a report in other tool. (extract data and import in other database etc..) The report is very basic but I still have a hard time to test the integrity of the data that I have to extract. I want data as follow;
    1 Financial general ledger data
    2 Customer detail data both open and close
    3 Vendor detail data both open and close
    As far as I use internet search engine and ask my friend, the table that I have to look up are following;
    - for general ledger transactions, query data from table BSAS and BSIS
    - for vendor transactions, query data from table BSAK and BSIK
    - for customer transactions, query data from BSAD and BSID
    Next, I use SE11 to check column name and use SE38 to export data from SAP.
    The question is,
    1) are there any table I missing? I want my general ledger data for a specific month have a summarize value equal to the trial balance of that month. (t-code: S_ALR_87012277)
    2) How do I know that some data I exported are already void or cancel?
    3) In my understanding, total amount of FBL1N and FBL5N should equal to the account payable and account receivable in trial balance. Do I understand correctly?
    Any suggestions also welcome.
    Thanks
    Smith

    Does those table cover only line item detail or cover the header table as well, please?

    Double Click on any line item ,
    Click on Header button--- Next screen is Document Header.
    Now comes what I have to do
    1. Document Header Text BKPF-BKTXT should be populated with the Customer Check Number

    I know that Lock Box number I will get from T049L and check number from PAYR.
    But can any one tell me where I can make changes in the standard program to implement the above things. I mean where these two fields get populated originally and I can go there and insert my code.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You are generally not suppose to just go ahead and do the modifications in standard SAP code.
    Check and find out the user exits available in the program and try to write your piece of code there.
    If you are in ECC 6. then there may be some BAdi or implicit enhancement points will be there in the program, check for them also.
