"Segment" field when invoice posting (FB60, FB70)

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

We use Segment reporting so we need report balance sheet and income statement on each segment. But when I post invoices through t.codes FB60 (F-43) or FB70 (F-22) I can't enter Segment information for vendor or customer item under tab "Details" in t.code FB60 or FB70, because it is missing. So please help me, how to add this field and make it available in t.codes FB60 (F-43) or FB70 (F-22)?

Thank you.

why would you expect it in the details tab?

Then where I should expect it? It is no matter where to have it, I need just to have it anywhere and assign vendor or customer item to it.

As I mentioned before the Segment should be posted to the P&L account which should be possible in the standard view.

Where you assign the GL account, you can add the Segment on that line, and any split of posting to the Customer or Vendor will occur in document splitting.

In terms of OB41, there is an option in addiotnal account assignments on the second screen, so page down, there is the option for the Segment. This is ONLY for the GL posting. Try making this Mandatory in PK 31 or PK 01. (make sure you have a default value set up for Segment in config!!!)

Thank you Mark, it was splitting issue. My understanding about document splitting was wrong. I just thought that purpose of this functionality is completely different than actually is. I configured document splitting and now everything is working fine and I see all assignements in Document Ledger View.

Thank you again (points were awarded).

Hi

You have to change the settings in field status of posting key 31 for vendor goto OB41 TCode select posting key 31 in field status goto Addl account assignments make segment is required field.

Assign points if useful

If you are using document splitting, then normally the Segment is derived from the P&L posting.

This is assuming that all PC's have a Segment.

[Former Member]

No we are not using document splitting. I tried to derive a Segment using derivation or substitution rules from various source fields, but system is not deriving, I see empty “Segment” field on vendor or customer item when look to posted Document. Other line items of same document are ok and have “Segment” assignment. So I suppose that some configuration is needed, because I can’t see “Segment” field in vendor/customer item subscreens when I post invoice.

I have configured FSV for my reconciliation accounts and I have “Segment” field as required, moreover I have configured PK 31 and I have “Segment” as required too. But system does not give me an error message that not all required fields are filled in. So system ignores this field on reconciliation accounts at all.

Please help me, how to make this field available on vendor or customer items?!
