Hi Madan,

Since the field is set as "Required Entry", you will have enter the value so that you could save the document. Else, you would have to make it as "Optional Entry" or "Supress".

Check for the GL Account for which you are posting the expenses. Go to GL Master Data, and check the field status group. In field status group...... additional account assignment, against profit segment....change radio button to optional.

However, please check wthether you have entered the correct GL account. Normally Invoice is posted to Cost center.

Hi Madan,

In transaction SPRO under

Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Transactions -> GL Account Posting -> Carry Out and Check Document Settings -> Define Field Status Variants

Choose your Field Status Variant and click on Field Status Group. Double click on Field Status Group. Go to General Data and make "Profitability Segment" as either "suppress" or "Opt Entry".
