Incresing the Reference field length

Hi expert
In my client the Reference field is made mandatory field to capture the vendor invoice number and this is used to track the duplicate invoice processing.But the limitation here is the field length is only 16 and many of the times it is not sufficient to entrer all the detail and the purpose of maintaing is lost because of inadequate data. We are using this field in T code FB60 or MIRO.
My query is whether we can increse the length of the field or is there any other solution. Any solution to this is welcome and will be rewarded with points.
Regards.

Excise invoice number getting reflected in the reference field in VF01

Hello,
I require excise invoice number to get get reflected in the reference field of billing document number . (i.e accounting document generated from VF01)
Thanks,

Dear Muscan,,
As per STANDARD SAP PROCESS this functionality is not Possible. The reason is very clear, Excise Invoice is always created after creating billing/invoice document. Without creating excise invoice you cannot have excise invoice number reflected in the reference field of billing document.
Hope this clarifies your doubt?

Goto t.code OVA2 select A-sales header and then click on procedures in the left--> select the procedure in which you want to incolude this field and new entries the table name is VBAK and field is XBLNR for the reference field in the accouting tab and accordingly assign the status 01 or 02 as per your requirement.
Then you need to assign the incompletion procedure to the sales document type in VOV8.

FB70 how to modify the Reference field

Dear experts,
In FB70 Customer Invoice entry, If I want to put several Invoice reference in the Reference field for tracking of Agents Commission, Is any report generation possible for Sales Commission
Thanks
Mdas

Hi
Sales Agent Comission can be better tracked using a std SAP functionality called rebates. Here in you can accrue Rebates with every billing document. For eg, you need to give a comission to sales agent, if the sales reach USD 100 in a month, that can be set up through the SD Pricing procedure and the corresponding assignment in VKOA.

*Requirement:*
Payment Id is the field from IDOC.
1st time data for the field length is 6 digit that always end with '0' that is 6th character or 6th position '0'(this for the 1st transaction in a Day)

How to customize the Reference field of Billing to be inputable in VF02

Dear SDNs,
There is an customer requirement to change the Reference document of Billing, how can I achieve it?
I don't want to modify the standard program.
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Claudia,
In fact, I am in a project of SAP upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
In the 4.6c system, a previous consultant has implemented this function,I mean make the Reference field inputable in VF02.
I have checked what he has done. It is not Screen variant, User exit, or modification of standard program. So I am very surprised how he achieves it!
Do you know the other way to do it?
Thanks!

How can I find the reference field of components ?

Hi everyone ;
I am a Junior Abap Developer. I am creating a structure that I will use in the report program. When I create a structure , some of the components needs to get reference field.Ex: NETWR,BTGEW,KWMENG. How can i find the reference field of component?

Hi,
You have to put entries for currencies and quantity fields for these fields,
Like for NETWR reference table is VBAK and field is WAERK,
for other Quantity field you can use MEINS as reference field.
You can check the reference table and reference fields in the respective tables( i.e. VBAP here).
Thanks,

How to configure the Reference Field of BKPF-AWKEY from FI Doc MIRO?

Hi All
From my testing, I found out that this field (BKPF-AWKEY) is used to store doc reference of the docs, where this transaction was actually originated.
In case of MIRO, BKPF-AWKEY = MM inv doc no + MM inv year.
I know where to find the path to define AWKEY for BKPF in SPRO. However, I am more interested to know the path as of what combination to put in for this field for the configuration.
Thanks.

Hi,
You cannot configure the logic for this field; it's hardcoded in the core processes.

Reference field value in the F110 Payment document

Dears
We are running the automatic payment run for the vendor invoices posted.
In each vendor invoice, we have filled the reference field, text field, etc. However, while running the payment in F110, the system does not reproduce this reference field value in the payment document. Hence we are not able to match the items for comparison.
Have we left out any setting in FBZP or somewhere ?

Hello,
Apart from above suggestions, you can check linked invoices to payment document through below option.
Open payment document in FB03, go to Menu->Environment->Payment usage
This will list all invoices cleared through that payment document.
If you are looking for tables, Pass payment document number , company code, year, account type and account to AGKO table and get the clearing date. Pass these details to BSAK and get list of cleared documents.
AUGDT = Clearing date from AGKO
AUGBL= Clearing document from AGKO
and other details passed earlier.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

UDF for Splitting the nodes based on the field length

HI All,
Target records Record1 to Record4 must be created based on the length of the source field length i.e, if the source field length is only 90 then only 3 records must be created.maximum length of the source field is 120.The source and the target structure are as shown
Source                                  Target
Record                                Record(30)

                                                 Field3(10)

Can any one provide me the code to get this done.
Thanks ,

You need no UDF. You can use the substring function, but you should check the length of the string to prevent mapping errors due to the substring function.
