API does not have fields for Quantity and allow effective date

[SAPSupport]

Hello Team,

Good Day!

https://api.sap.com/bointerface/I_GLADJMTACCTGNOTIFTP

The above API does not allow to add the field Quantity and a custom field we require.

This is a critical field for our solution and reports to derive the billed hours that are being posted by SAP suggested Steampunk solutioning to extension ledger for cash basis accounting, can you please prioritize and update the API to allow to post Quantity and Custom Field for date.

Regards

Vishal Prakash

There are two distinct requirements in this case:

a) The addition of an indefinite pair of standard fields (Quantity + UoM) to the GL Items structure of the API action PostJournalEntry input parameter. The term "indefinite" refers to the fact that multiple quantities are available in the standard, and it is unclear which quantity is intended. Additionally, it is not immediately clear why this requirement was raised, as GL adjustment postings typically do not involve material management-related postings. We recommend clarifying whether the correct API is being used, or if it is being used appropriately.

b) Enabling the GL Items entity for Customer Fields Extensibility. This involves not only registering certain CDS entities for extensibility but also ensuring the transfer of the customer extension fields to the corresponding extension fields in the journal entry items.

Given the complexity of both requirements, it is crucial to plan thoroughly, including testing, which should encompass extensibility tests.

Considering the nature of these requirements, it appears that they should be handled as two separate WCR's.
