Users Overwriting Segment Field on Financial Postings

I heard that users are able to overwrite the segment field for FI postings? I was curious what the logic is behind this? If the segment was derived from the profit center master wouldn't you want to ensure that the segment is always consistent with the profit center that derived it?

Please note that Segment is like any other additional account assignment and the filed status for the same is optional. The segment can be derived either through BADI, Profit center (IF PCA is active and segment is updated in the profit center master data) OR through manual input at the time of document posting.
As rightly stated by you, the normal process would be to derive the segment from profit centre. However, like any other derivation object which can be overwritten manually, same is the case with segment.
However, incase the segment are defined in a particular way in line with profit center, you may check for the same through validations.

We are using the BAdI FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT, which means no assignment of segment to the PCtr. We have activated the account assignment objects in AA for PCtr only. There is no field Segment in Account assignment objects in AA. For reporting purpose we are using Evaluation group1 as Segment.
But in AA automatic postings like AIBU (CWIP Settlement line items) and AFAB system has to pick the segment field.
For this what I have to do? Please help me out

Segment field must be required field in Profit Center Master Data

Dear Consultants,
I want to make segment field as mandatary in the profit center master record.
Is there any standard functionality to control the fields in PCA? Could you please tell me how we control the fields in PCTR Master?
Regards,
Srinivas

There is NO standard config.
All you could do is to put a user exit in the create profit center program to make sure there is a value in the segment field.
You will also need to make sure it is there in change PC.
Also make sure you have added a Segment to all of your exisitng PC data before you activate the code.

Hi,
You need to activate the assign scenarion FIN_SEGM to your ledgers in the below path:-
SPRO> Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers > Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
Then you need to make document splitting characteristics based on Segment field in the below path:-
SPRO> Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
Make the below entry:-
Field = SEGMENT
Zero Balance = Selected
Partner Field = PSEGMENT
Mandatory Field = Selected
Then you will be able to generate the balance sheet segment wise in report S_PL0_86000028 "Financial Statement: Actual/Actual Comparison". (Similar steps you can use for profir center wise balance sheet in addition.)

Using Assignment field or Segment field for adding product information

Hello people,
My costumer is using the new general ledger and wants too be able too add product information too FI postings. They have put their focus on using either the assignment field or the segment field (other options are not a possibility). Using the segment field will make profibility analysis easier because of existing reports. However, Iu2019ve heard of performance issues when the amount of segments used increases too say 50 or more. Does anyone have any experience with either 1 of these situations and or some good advice?
Many thanks,
Kees

As you have mentioned, reflection error mostly occurs when there is a object type mismatch.
If it is of type object reference then try
newMember.getFieldMetadata("VENDOR_REF").set(newMember,vendorBean.getObjectReference());
Further, check if the vendor object enclosed in the collection member "newMember" and the vendor object "vendorBean" are of the same type.

Immanuel

Replaced value is not getting relected in IDOC segment field

Hi,
Need your help for the below issue.
I am replacing the PO # with Delivery Doc # . But the replaced value is not getting reflected in the IDOC segment field(e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.).
Function Module which I am using is IDOC_INPUT_MBGMCR as a copy.
Here is my code given below:
SELECT
            SINGLE vbeln
              INTO lx_vbeln
              FROM lips
             WHERE vgbel EQ e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
Move lx_vbeln TO e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING e1bp2017_gm_item_create
               TO goodsmvt_item.
Then this is passed as TABLE in "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE".
Please do the needful.

Hi Dheepa,
Check it in debug whether the filed is empty or having po#, when ur code is executed for the replacement. if it is empty, po# is populated after ur code. in this case you need to write the code in suitable place.

Segment Field in vendor line item

Hello Guru,
we have activated new gl functionality with doucment splitting . but we are not able to view the segement filed in vendor line item and customer line item in different reports.
how we can pool that field in variouse report in instead using Zreport.
Thanks and Advance
Laxmi narayan

Hi,
whe we are entering the vendor line item we can enter the Fund and fund Center, our segment will be derived from the fund ( we have done it in a substitution, if the segment is empty we derive it from the fund) and in BSEG table we can see that the segment is filled correctly. But we cannot change it because this fields segment don't appear in the screen. We have reviewed the SAPMF05A 0332 Screen (screen that we can see when we are entering the vendor line item and we push in "More data" button) but the segment field don't appear.
Thanks in advance,

Segment field is not shown in profit center master data

Hi,
When i activated New GL ,but the segment field is not shown in profit center master data. How can i make the field shown ?
Thanks.

After activating the New GL have you defined the segment? First define the segment under Enterprise Structure and in Fin.Acctg Global settings(New)-Legers-Display scenarios for General Ledger Accounting, you need to create new entries for FIN_PCA & FIN_SEG.
Hope this helps you.

New GL - Update segment field of table FAGLFLEX*

Hi All,
We are turning document splitting in our configuration, split by segment.
When do posting of invoice, the vendor leg will be automatically split base on expense leg segment.
Example enter invoice consist of 2 expense leg:
GL Account    Segment   Amount
DR Expense SEG01     $100
DR Expense (blank)      $200
In document view (BSEG table) the posting will be:
GL Account    Segment   Amount
DR Expense SEG01     $100
DR Expense (blank)      $200
CR Vendor                    $300
In GL View (FAGLFLEXA table) the posting will be:
GL Account    Segment   Amount
DR Expense SEG01     $100
DR Expense (blank)      $200
CR Vendor     SEG01     $100
CR Vendor     (blank)      $200
We need to default the vendor leg (bold above) segment to SEGXX. Any body have any idea on how to do this? Thanks.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

How to initiate some action when user clicks a field in CRViewer?

ReportObjects doesn't expose click event despite the fact that a field can get focus frame, you can even tab from field to field. Drill() event works only on group names.So, how to initiate some action (based on a clicked field value) when user clicks a field in CRViewer?After doing some googling, have found that something similar exists but it's FoxPro APIFrom some PDF: > Report objects events > Report object events occur when you click or double-click a field, > heading, or label in a report. > Doing this creates the EventInfo object. This object contains > information about the event and > passes as a parameter to the event method. Table 3 lists the> EventInfo object properties.......

The article you found refers to the ActiveX viewer which is used with the COM-based tool called Report Designer Component.Â Since you have posted to the .NET forum, I'm assuming you're not using the RDC and therefore this article will not apply.
Recently, Click events were added to the Windows Form Viewer to get similar functionality as the ActiveX viewer.Â Take a look at the following link for more information....
[http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/2109 | /node/2109]
However, if you are using the CR Web Forms Viewer in an ASP.NET app, then this functionality is not available.
