Hi jonathan,

Go to OB41, select the posting key that you have used for incoming payment(15), double click it, it will take you to field status group, and there select field status. In the field status, double click general data, there you have reference specification. Make reference specification to optional entry.

I hope it solves your issue.

Please award points.

Thanks & Regards,

hello, mr anandarajan.

i actually already did OB41. i tried doing either optional or required entry. but the field is still greyed out. could it be some other settings in IMG?

thanks.

hi Jonathan,

you need to maintain in transaction OB14 as well. You'll need the field status group (linked to the company code) and the field status of the G/L account. here you also have to set the field to modifiable.

hope this helps

hello, Eric.

yes, that also had been done. but the fields are still greyed out.

OK, pls. chekc the following things:

There should be a G/L item and customer item in the transaction (at least). For which of these items do you want to maintain the reference key? Check which G/L stands behind the item (reconciliation account for customer, normal G/L account for bank) In both cases check in FS00 which field status variant you have to change. This is what you have to change in OB14.

Than in OB41 you have to change the settings for the posting key (40 for the G/L and 15 for the customer)

hello, friends.

i've done all of the suggestions, but for the life of me i can't get rid of the grey outs in Reference Keys 1 & 2 during F-28. i can make entries using FB02, but only in Reference Key 1.

i guess i'll sleep over this (haven't slept in 3 days) but please keep your ideas pouring in.

many thanks!

not reference.

when you do F-28, enter the values and choose the line items, you then go to Document > Simulate you will be brought to the next screen. in the next screen, click 'More Data' to go to the next screen and you will see Reference Key 1 and Reference Key 2.

Yes but the field is still greyed out and cannot be edited even the set up in OB41 and OB14 are both optional
