SFIN Document Number and Line Items Queries

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Good day. Would appreciate if someone can enlighten us on the line item limitation and Document Number Concept changes in S4 SFIN.

We know that ACDOCA have a 6 digit field for line item (DOCLN) but it is also stated that SAP Classic table limitation are still in place (BSEG, COEP etc) - which still retains the 3 digit field limit for line item (i.e 999)

From OSS Note 2344521 - F5 727 - After migration S4 HANA - It is stated that the tables still have the line item limitation of '999'. Any posting more than 999 will trigger an error.

However, from SFIN 1503 - There is a statement that states SFIN will trigger a new transaction number for every '999' document lines

• How does this work? Is it that a new ACDOCA DOCLN is generated if I post a FI document via FB01 that is more than '999' line items ? Meaning a single ACDOCA Documents tied to two BSEG-BELNR Number?
• Or does this mean that two ACDOCA is generated and it is tied to two BSEG-BELNR documents ?
• Or not possible to post at all ?

How does this work if we have document from MM for example ? Does 999 line item limitation still occurs since I am posting from Logistics and trigger ACDOCA table only?

Thanks

Hi,

you can have docln greater then 999 only in certain cases,

e.g. balance carry forward docs, which doesn't have bseg...

I believe also most documents for period end closing, which doesn't have bseg, like allocation, unrealized ex.rate differences.

Also documents which have 1 reference document number, e.g. asset depreciation, logistics integration docs.

Hi Jason,

I have not tried it . But, in my view (as it appears in AC110)

There will be a single ACDOCA document (with line items greater than 999) for multiple BSEG-BELNR number.

Hi Gurus,

Well, I initially have this understanding as well but from SAP Note 2344521, it seems there is still an error. SAP did not explain explicitly how this works. If there can be multiple BSEG-BELNR is tied to single ACDOCA document, it should not trigger an error

Thanks
