We cannot see the segment in the vendor line item

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have updated the Segment field as Optional in OB41 transaction for posting key equal to 21 and the same for the corresponding GL account. When we create a document in FB01 transaction with SA type for example, we can't see the segment field in the vendor line item.

Could you tell me if we need to do something more to see the segment?

Thanks in advance,

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,

Hi,

Are u trying to do see the segment field in the fnbl1n (subledger) line items? I don't think this is possible in std SAP as prft center itself is not there in subledger line item.

As a work around , u can use a user exit to copy the segment to any of the unused fields in subledger line items. Check with ur ABAPer for details as i dnt know the name of exit etc. Also do not forget to do the coding for copying the same value (segment) when u do provisioning/write offs if any.

Best Regards

Thanks for your answer.

We now that the segment is derived in the vendor line item, but Could we view the segment in the vendor line item when we are creating it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi

When PC itself is not available in the vendor line item, there is no way you can see SEGMENT which is dependant on PC

You can see it only after posting the document in FB03 (General Ledger view) or FAGLL03 reports

If doc splitting is activated then you can do Simulate General ledger, if it's on-line posting
