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.

GL Account Field status setting conflicting with Account Assignment categor

Hi All,
A GL account could not be used for posting vendor invoice because of mismatch between the field status group setting for the GL account and the account assignment category. The Account assignment category in MM does not even have WBS field where as for the GL account the field WBS element has been suppressed. Because of this conflicting setting we are not able to post the vendor invoice.
What I am bothered about is there are lot of GL accounts being assigned to this field status group.
Can anybody please let me know what will be consequences if I make the changes to the relevant field status group?
Please let me know if there is any way-out for this Or is it ok with I go ahead with the changes required.
Regards,
S.Sumana

Hi Sumana,
If you are changing FS there will no problem but see that IT should not be combination of Required and Hide then system will give you the errorr.
In your case from MM change the status as optional.I think your problem will get resolved.
Thanks

RE: Field status of the vendor account group

Hi,
I am doing customization for argentina country specific:
For the vendor account group there should be a field called Fiscal type in General-control tab, But i dont see it. Can any one please help me on this thing?

Dear:
Go to OBD3 there you can find the field status change group option for the relevant Vendor Account Group. If you cant find fiscal type then you should must define it in SPRO....A/c payable master data For Argentina and then Assign it also .Please revert back in case of any confusion.

GL Field Status Validation @ PO Creation

Hi Gurus,
We are facing the issue summarized below:-
In FI, itu2019s set up that internal order field as mandatory for GL account 38701404. This is achieved via the field status group at GL account level.
However, with indirect procurement, itu2019s found that no checks taking place at PO creation i.e. when we create a PO and key in the GL account at PO creation, it does not indicate that internal order is a mandatory field for that GL account.
May I know how can the checking triggered during PO creation?
Sample Data used:-
Account Assignment Category: K (Cost Center)
Configuration @ OME9:
CO/PP Order - Hidden Field
Configuration @ OBC4:
CO/PP Order - Mandatory Field
Regards,
Michelle Low

Hi,
You also need to make it manadatory for the Purhcase order creation at Document type level .Please make the accountassigment mandatory ,with internal order ,This will put check during PO creation.
Thanks,

GL accounts- field status group table

Hi guys,
any idea whether there is a table that contains data about field status for the GL accounts similar to T082 for assets?
Thanks and regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Why, yes It's a structured field where every sign represens 'hidden' 'mandatory' 'optional' values for the fields in question. The fields are arranged in the same order as in the customization view V_T004F. However, I'd agree that it's rather difficult to read this table...

Field status for bank account ID

Hi experts,
I have an issue with field status during customer/vendor invoice posting using enjoy screen.
I need to have house bank account ID (HKTID) ready for input. In IDES the field appears in FB70 or FB60 under "payment" tab, but when I try to reproduce it in my development client, the field is not there anymore.
I tried to configure in field status group and posting key, but what can I find is only house bank field status, but not the account ID.
Any configuration I missed to make the field ready for input?
Appreciate any feedback
Thank you very much

Yes I thought of that one too..
I have 2 account ID in FI12 and also in FBZP bank determination.

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.

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

Field Status - G/L

Hi All,
I just want to understand the concept of field status group assigned to a G/L account and if it has any impact on business transaction.
We have defined a g/l account as an expense account but we would like to change the field status group of this account to that of a material account.
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
Meghna

Hi Meghana,
The field status group determines which fields are ready for input, which are required entry fields, and which are hidden during document entry.
If you want to change Field status group of a Particular General Ledger account pl compare both the field status group for Field ready for Input, Required & optional fields & make necessary changes as per requirement so that there will not be error during transaction entry.

Sunil somani

Field Status Definition
You have to define field status outside of the master record. Mark the field status you need for each field or field group under a field status group. Then assign the field status group to individual G/L accounts in the G/L account master records.
Field status groups are independent of company code, attaching instead to the field status variant. A separate variant exists in each company code for field status groups in the standard delivered system. The variant name is the same as the company code, and each company code is assigned to this variant.
You can work with the same field status groups in more than one company code, as outlined below:
Maintain field status variant
Assign company code to field status variant.
If you do not maintain the field status, all fields will be hidden.
Example of a field status group
You defined a separate field status group for bank accounts because you always need the same fields for posting to bank accounts. Within this group, the allocation number, text, and value date fields are optional. You have specified that all other fields be suppressed.
Other factors
Besides the field status group in the account master record, your posting key specifications also affect posting. For each posting key, you can decide what status any fields should have with a key when posting. But because there are only two posting keys for posting to G/L accounts in the standard system, you should use the field status groups from accounts in the master record for your screen layouts. The field status definition for posting keys 40 (debit posting to G/L accounts) and 50 (credit posting to G/L accounts) have optional status for each field in the delivered system. Do not change this.
Some fields are controlled by other specifications. If you work with business areas, show the field centrally using company code specifications. The component documentation for general ledger accounting (FI-GL) as well as accounts receivable and payable (FI-AP/FI-AR) explains in greater detail when fields can be suppressed or shown independently of a field status group.
Field status groups and reconciliation accounts
You must also enter field status groups in reconciliation accounts. These specifications affect the customer or vendor account during posting. You cannot enter any field status groups in the master records for these accounts.

Field Status control for fields at Account assignment level .

Hi All ,
I have to take care of enabling / disabling / hiding / making fields mandatory for some of the standard and custom fields for SC and PO depending on the Account assignment value .
I am not sure how to go about this .
I think this has to do something with the field status control .
SPRO -> IMG -> SRM sever -> cross application basic settings -> extension and field control ( personalization ) -> Configure control for fields of substructure .
I think i have to define some dyn class and also methods .
But not sure how to move ahead , how to declare class / methods , which super class to use , how will i get the req parameters for the methods , ...
Will appreciate a lot if somebody can guide me on this .
Regards,
Ambar Patil.

Hi ,
Check in SPRO for SRM -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) -> Configure Field Control.
The metadata configuration for enabling disabling actions/fields in SRM can be checked from the tables
This contains the data for all the business objects
Check in SM30 the following views:
/SAPSRM/V_MDA_HD for Header actions
/SAPSRM/V_MDA_IT for Item Actions
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_HD for header fields
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_IT fir IT fields.
You can customize your logic for enabling diabling the actions or fields by maintaining the entries in the corresponding customer views for this data
for e.g.
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_HC for header customer fields
/SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC for item customer fields
You need to maintain field enabled, disabled ,required based on your requirement.

Neeraj

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
