Custom field not available as a debtor/creditor item at API - Journal Entries Changes

[Paulo_Piassenti]

Hello everyone,

I created a new custom field as a Accounting coding block for journal entries lines. I will have to populate this field for a lot of journal entries already posted via API. 

To do so, I followed procedures as below:

https://blogs.sap.com/2019/09/10/guidelines-for-api-journal-entry-change-asynchronous/ 

As a result, G/L Items could be successfully changed, as my custom field becomes automatically available in my .wsdl. However, for Debtor/Creditor items the custom field is not displayed.

I tried to include it manually according to the line automatically generated for G/L Item, but it was unsuccessfully too.

Is there any procedure necessary to be done that may not be included at SAP Guidelines above for my custom field to become available at the Journal Entry Change API?

Kind regards,

Paulo Piassenti.

Hi Paulo，

Coding Block belongs to accounting assignment part, which is only filled in G/L item.

That is why you only see your custom field under G/L item node.

Best regards,

Hi Paulo,

I'm not so sure about:

"As a result, G/L Items could be successfully changed, as my custom field becomes automatically available in my .wsdl. However, for Debtor/Creditor items the custom field is not displayed."

What's the difference between G/L Items and Debtor/Creditor items? As you said one was successful and the other was not.

Best Regards,

Owen

Hi Owen,

'Debtor/Creditor items' are Accounts payable and accounts receivable item lines, generated from invoices and linked to a customer/supplier.

.wsdl file has a structure as below:

JournalEntryHeader

JournalEntryGLItem

JournalEntryDebtorCreditorItem.

My new custom field became available only in 'JournalEntryGLItem'. I need it to become available to 'JournalEntryDebtorCreditorItem' too, so we can populate AP/AR item lines.

Best regards,

Paulo Piassenti.

You need to create a custom logic for new field first and enable this for "Post General Journal Entries". Once the coding block is published, you can see the field in template

The available fields to use in the template are described in the Help Portal here [link] https://help.sap.com/viewer/0fa84c9d9c634132b7c4abb9ffdd8f06/1908.500/en-US/41f88d19c3b64b1db1c2aa80...
