Problem With Removal of Validation/Substitution

Hi all,
We are currently adding a validation for Vendor Invoice Creation (FB60), however we are experiencing a runtime error.
When we investigated the cause of the runtime error, it seems that there is a previous validation/substitution that was deleted using transaction OBBH, but the corresponding ABAP code was not removed. Now, since the program and include where this code is located is standard, how can we remove that particular code please?
We tried re-generating the substitution/validation code using program RGUGBR00 and RGUGBR01, but it seems it is not working.
Thanks again in advance.

Hi,
Even I have the same problem.
Even after deleting the substitution code is still exits .
system generated code in Include GBTAKAMB have an syntax error which is giving short dumps.
Any help is appreciated.
Anyone used any SAP NOTE on this.
TIA
Rhea.

Own Validation & Substitution - Urgent

Hi,
Anybody could tell me how do Create my Own Exits for Validation & Substitution.
And I promise to return and reward the answers.
Thanks in advance..
Raja T.

Hi Raja,
I understood from your question that you need to create your own Exit routines for Rules/Substitution for Validation & Substitution.
I have created my own Exit routines for Financial Accounting.
The standard programs are available for Validation and Substitution for Financial Accounting.
1. RGGBR000 ( Validation )
2. RGGBS000 ( Substitution )
You need to copy this to Z - Program ( ZGGBR000 ) and add your own exits. You can understand the program logic by seeing the existing sample user exits in this program.
After that, configure your Z program in SPRO
SPRO --> Financial Accounting --> Special Purpose Ledger --> Basic Settings --> User Exits --> Maintain Client-Specific User Exits
GBLR - Validations
GBLS - Substitution
Now you can able to see your exits and use it in OB28/OBBH transaction codes.
Check this link for more information

Customer Master Data - Validation / Substitution Rule

Is there a way to perform a validation / substitution rule in the customer master data?
Eg: In customer master, payment history checkbox is a required field so the user will always have to tick the checkbox when creating a customer master.
Question: how to make this payment history checkbox defaulted to tick so that user don't have to manually tick it themselves when creating customer master.
Is there a validation / substitution that can be performed in customer master because in accounting document, we will be able to perform the validation/substitution.

Hi
You could potentially use a BADI to substitute the data. IMG > Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Customer Accounts > Master Data > Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data > Adoption of Customer's Own Master Data Fields > Business Add-In: Customer Subscreens
You'd need to get an ABAPer to code the change in the relevant Method.

Standard SAP Validations & Substitutions

Hi All,
I need the documentation of SAP Standard Validations & Substitutions. Where do i get it?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Gangadhar

Hi,
You want to create a validation or substitution that is called at the callup point Complete document.
The usage can have different reasons.
Cause and prerequisites
1. You cannot choose all fields.
2. Your check of the document is too complex and cannot be carried out with the formula editor.
              You need ABAP in order to check the document or enhance the document for a substitution.
3. You want to create a validation or substitution which should be called line by line, however, at the callup point of the call per document line not all information is available.
              At callup point 3 (FI) the complete document is available. A line by line validation cannot be carried easily.
Solution
1. For callup point Complete document you can only use numeric fields, which you mainly use to carry out mathematical calculations.
              For this for example functions Total, Maximum, Minimum, Averageare available.
2. Create a user exit. For this refer to Note 48121.
3. Define the validation / substitution, that should work as follows (Example FI callup point 3):
              In the document, check whether at least one line of this prerequisite is fulfilled:
              1. Create rule that contains prerequisite and check (on line level), for example
                 BKPF BUKRS = '1000' AND BSEG-GSBER <> ' '
              2. Create validation/substitution:
                 Prerequisite: SUM (BSEG-BUZEI) WHERE rule > '0'
                 Check:       FALSE
              This way you make sure that in company code 1000 for each line a business area must be entered.
For substitutions refer to Notes 42615 and 386896.
Other Imporatant Notes
386896 - Substitution for call-up point 3 ('Complete document')
48121 - User Exits in Validations/Substitutions
42615 - Substitution in FI
Hope this should help you.

Dear Muzamil,
you can download the complete document for creating validations & substitutions from SAP Help portal. But it is not available in PS. you have to go to FI/CO and get it. Still the logic is same. I too did all my validations based on the FI/CO help doc.
Thanks !

FIDCC1 Validations / Substitutions and flat files?

I am investigating the potential for two different types of functionality from using the FIDCC1 IDOC for transferring financial postings between two separate SAP FICO systems. My understanding at this point in time is that this IDOC won't perform any of custom or standard substitutions or validations of the receiving system. Is this correct? can anyone confirm? Also, I understand that some IDOC will generate a flat file on the receiving system in addition to the posting of data there. Will FIDCC1 do this as well?
My apologies if this information is readily available elsewhere. I need to obtain these answer quickly and find that I can usually get rapid answers from the SAP Development Community.
Thanks,
David

Ok. That one is nice, especially in terms of defining header and trailer records. I also found this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/flatworm/ which allows for multi-line flat-files, which is also nice.
The problem is both only deal with parsing. Granted, writing a serializer even via reflection would not be all that tough. But a few Dukes for you!

Error: "substitution/validation could not determined" in LAE (FILA)

Hey, I am trying to simulate a process in the SAP Lease Account Engine (FILA) under transaction FILAEXAM. The system displays the following error message:
Classification: Validation/substiution could not be determined
Message no. FILAE604
Diagnosis
The system could not determine the check rule for validation/substitution for Lease Accounting.
Procedure
Check Customizing for the assignment of check sequences and check steps.
I already tried everything in customizing (IMG->Financial Accounting->Lease Accounting-> Specifications for Controlling Processing->Financing Classification) to fix this error, but the error always remains. Can anyone help?

I don't know where to customize the check sequences. I already checked customizing under "Value Determination Using Substitution", "Financing classification", and "Validation", but the error always remains.
Are there no Lease Accounting experts at all who can help me?

Validations and substitutions

wht is validations and substitutions? and difference between validations and substitutions

Validations are used to check the conditions while posting a document in sap system.
Validation allows you to define your own individual checks for specific fields when a business transaction is being processed.
Each validation can contain up to 999 steps that each consist of a
Prerequisite
Check
Message
Prerequisites and checks contain the same fields and have the same field processing options.
You can use a message that has already been defined or you can create a new message for the validation.
You can include up to four fields in a message. The '&' characters in the message are placeholders for the fields to be output.
path :In IMG under
Financial Accounting -> Special Purpose Ledger -> Tools -> Maintain Validation/Substitution/Rules -> Maintain Validation or

Validation at line item level for F-32 to input Reason code

Hi Gurus,
I would like to write a validation / substitution for F-32 transaction code where in the Reason code field need to be mandatory field (With out input in to this field value the user should not come out of the transaction)
Please guide me how to write validation with out user exit
Thanks

Hi Suresh,
I guess the idea of MEENAKSH is good, perhaps you have an error in the Tcode, because in table BKPF the Tcode stored is FB1D and not F-32 :
So put the following in GGB0 and check again :
Prerequisite :
BKPF-TCODE = FB1D
Check :
BSEG-RSTGR <> ' '
Message :
Error : Reason code required
in the other hand, you can active a trace in GGB0 (Menu > Extras > Activate trace) to see what's the exactly the error
So it's not a question of screen.
Regards.

Substitution of a profit center at FI document posting

Dear experts,
I have created a cost center in which master data no profit center has been indicated. This because I have set up a substitution that, with a user exit check a custom table, retrieves the correct profit center to be used in the posting and populate it in the "Profit Center" field.
The problem is that the system is then changing the content of the field profit center with the dummy profit center (since no link between profit center and cost center is indicate ad cost center master data), which is not correct.
Do you know how can I overcome or avoid this automatic substitution that the system is making?
If I include a profit center in the cost center master data the system is anyway changing the one included in the document by the substitution with the one included in the cost center master.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards

Hi again,
actually OSS note 62417 and 102737 seem to indicate that the behaviour you observe is intended by SAP:
We must have done something to our system to change this behaviour and make substitution work. I will try to find out what this might be.
62417
Symptom
In accounting, posting is carried out to a dummy profit center, although the triggering billing document contains an explicit profit center.
The dummy profit center is set in a line item after a profit center has been explicitly entered first.
Additional key words
VF01, FB01, profit center, CO interface
Cause and prerequisites
In addition to the profit center, the line item contains further CO account assignment objects, for example, cost center, order or profitability segment. Among the account assignments entered in addition to the profit center there is an actual CO account assignment object, for example, an actual order. In this case, the system requires that you always post to the profit center of this order. If no profit center is assigned to the order, posting is done to the dummy profit center.
Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
Solution
The effect is authorized:
Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
OSS 102737:
Symptom
You want to reset the Profit Center in the document using a substitution (OKC9).Although the substitution is defined correctly, another profit center is written in the document afterwards.
Other terms
CO interface, profit center, G_VSR_SUBSTITUTION_CALL, KI339, KI 339
Reason and Prerequisites
In the line item, a posting is carried out to a controlling object which is assigned to a Profit Center.However, the substitution places another Profit Center into the line item.
Solution
The Profit Center of the line item and that of the controlling object posted to the line item must be identical.A substitution under these conditions is ineffective.

Issue in FI validation

Dear All,
Every monthend im getting same proble from number of users while doing proces order and MB1A.
That time i will go to GS02 and in that i give some GL's in the set, then the transaction can process by the user and i have to remove those gl's after the transaction. The same i have to do in the every month end.
The error while doing MB1A is :Enter Business place, section code 31000766 Check TDS Codes.
3100766 is Oder.
I found the same message which is there in FI validations ( OB28 ).
But in the validation ther is no order or gl in prerequisite and check.
Prerequisite : Company Code = 'NEL' AND Posting date < '01.04.2003' AND
Account type = 'K' AND
Vendor > '0000099999' AND Transaction code <> 'FBCJ'
Check : Business place <> ''
Message : Enter Business Place, Section Code & Check TDS Codes.
Please help me out in this issue.
Best Regards,
Venkat.

Look if there is a validation with the same message
Sometimes when you transport a variant in still use some code from an old validation.
You can regenarate a validation/substitution with RGUGBR00.
That with the set of G/L accounts is not realy normal. In the most cases when a tranports went wrong you get dumps
